A beauty of a Dartmoor farm, as traditional as afternoon tea, and all the better for it. Choose from quaint, frilly B&B rooms, basic camping fields (£5 per tent) or a timber-and-aluminium camping pod (per night £30 to £35), all with bewitching moorland views. Hearty breakfasts, packed lunches and cracking cream teas. It's on the B3357, Two Bridges–Dartmeet road.
