Wydemeet was originally built as a fishing lodge, because we're at the confluence of the Rivers Swincombe and West Dart, which teem with brown trout, seatrout, and salmon.

We're in one of the most beautiful, and unknown, valleys in all Dartmoor.

Ours is a family home, an oasis in the middle of the Dartmoor wilderness. It is completely private, with large, bright bedrooms and bathrooms looking out across the garden to the moor.

You are our guests and we invite you to enjoy our two best sparerooms as part of the family. A spacious cosy sitting room and elegant dining room.are also at your disposal.

Each room is very personal and individual. Please don't expect the bland corporate hospitality of a purpose-built guesthouse when you come here. Ours, we believe, is the traditional, old-fashioned kind of B&B. Not everything matches, there are family photos and belongings dotted about, and we cant work out where a wardrobe might go, so we've left lots of hangers on the back of the door instead.

We absolutely love having people at our home, and have no rules about when and where you should be. The one proviso is that breakfast is served anytime, anywhere, from 8.30am.

As one of the most remote B&Bs in central Dartmoor, the secluded Wydemeet has footpaths in every direction just from the garden gate. Featuring free WiFi and free private parking on site, it is just 20 minutes' drive from the A38 road, which leads to both Exeter and Plymouth.

All guest rooms are en-suite and furnished with deep-pile carpets, antiques and original watercolours on the walls. Bathrooms offer luxury toiletries, while bedrooms include 100% Egyptian cotton linen.

Guests are welcomed with tea and cake, or a glass of chilled white wine and crisps. Guests can also relax in the garden on a sun lounger, while their children play on the swing and watch the Dartmoor ponies, sheep and belted Galloway cattle roaming outside on the moor.

Located in the wildest part of high Dartmoor, Wydemeet is in an area likeable to the Highlands of Scotland. The property offers easy access to outdoor activities such as horse riding, kayaking, fishing, bird watching, and mountain climbing. The market town of Tavistock is a 25-minute drive from the B&B.

Home to a famous prison, the village of Princetown is just 4 miles away. Prince Hall Hotel is a 45-minute walk across the moor. Open all day, it provides lunch, tea and dinner.
