Self-catering accommodation in the heart of Dartmoor

Swallerton Gate is a Grade II listed 17th century thatched cottage ideally located for exploring the tors and ridges of Dartmoor.

Our annex is fully furnished with a double bedroom, bathroom with shower and sitting room / kitchen with a double sofa bed for the kids. Located next to Hound Tor, there are countless walks available from our doorstep, or if you prefer you can drive, cycle or ride around the 1,000 square kilometres of national park that surround us.

Your hosts Sophie and Jim welcome you to stay with us for anything from two nights to two weeks. Take a look around the site for further details or to check availability. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Equidistant between the villages of Widecombe-in-the-Moor and Manaton, Swallerton Gate is situated at a fork in the road within the shadow of mighty Hound Tor.  The house was once upon a time known as the Hound Tor Inn and is thought to have been a small cider house for passing wool traders during the 18th and 19th centuries.  Now a private residence, it is often described as a 'chocolate box' thatched cottage with immediate access to some of Dartmoor's most striking landmarks.  Bowerman's Nose, Becky Falls, Hay Tor and Grimspound are all within reasonable walking distance of the house, and a short journey in the car (or on a bicycle) will open up a plethora of other wonders this wilderness has to offer.
