Our Inspector's view

Enfield House is an amazing 13th-century thatched cottage hideaway, with an intoxicating mix of old and new where 21st-century luxuries are artfully combined with original features to create a stunning place to stay. The cottage is full of character, with ancient wooden beams, log wood burner, slate and wood floors and thick Devon walls. Set in the picturesque rural village of Knowstone, surrounded by rolling green hills and steep river valleys.

About the area

Discover Devon

With magnificent coastlines, two historic cities and the world-famous Dartmoor National Park, Devon sums up all that is best about the British landscape. For centuries it has been a fashionable and much loved holiday destination – especially south Devon’s glorious English Riviera.

Close to the English Riviera lies Dartmoor, one of the south-west’s most spectacular landscapes. The National Park, which contains Dartmoor, covers 365 square miles and includes many fascinating geological features – isolated granite tors and two summits exceeding 2,000 feet among them. 

Not surprisingly, in Dartmoor the walking opportunities are enormous. Cycling in the two National Parks is also extremely popular and there is a good choice of off-road routes taking you to the heart of Dartmoor and Exmoor. Devon’s towns and cities offer stimulating alternatives to the rigours of the countryside.
