If you were looking for cottages like Ned's Nook, how about trying these:

This beautiful little cottage is a fantastic Dartmoor bolthole for guests looking for a break from routine. Snuggled in beside the other cottages surrounding Widecombe in the Moor's picturesque village green, Ned's Nook is named after a local character who lived here for many years, and who played the fabled 'Uncle Tom Cobley' in the annual Widecombe Fair celebrations.

The cottage is a welcoming and cosy retreat for a couple and a dog to explore the endless walking options with your very own private parking space to the rear of the property. A pretty little enclosed courtyard leads through to the galley-style kitchen, which cleverly utilises a single ring hob and microwave to make the most of the space - if you fancy a more elaborate meal, fear not; the cottage is just steps away from a fabulous tea shop (open for hearty breakfasts as well as delicious lunches and cream teas) and there are two pubs serving food within walking distance, offering the perfect excuse not to cook!

Open tread stairs lead up to the comfortable sitting-room/bedroom which is prettily furnished in restful tones and gives a wonderful vantage point across the green, where free-range sheep, ponies and cattle can often be seen, towards the ancient church. A separate dressing-area and contemporary shower-room complete the small but perfectly formed living space.
