Large country house with hot tub sleeping up to 12 in six bedrooms, perfect for special occasions

Whitelady House is a beautiful 6-bedroom Devon country house set in a peaceful location with Dartmoor on your doorstep and the gorgeous Lydford Gorge at the bottom of the garden. Accommodating up to 12, this luxurious, dog-friendly self-catering property is the perfect 'home from home'where groups of friends and family can come together to unwind and enjoy a private place to relax and party. The house has been renovated and lovingly refurbished, exuding style and character with oak beams, inglenook fireplaces and exposed stone work, whilst retaining a homely, relaxed atmosphere. We can provide a memorable venue for a fun and relaxing house party, either self-catering or catered. We can remove the burden of preparing and cooking for a large group by providing a fully catered service where we will prepare and serve meals at the house, or alternatively, we offer the option of preparing meals, leaving you to add the finishing touches before popping our delicious food in the oven. Sit back and enjoy the company of friends and family, while we arrange everything for you. Whitelady House really is the ideal venue for a short break, a weekend or a hen party.

On the ground floor of the house, guests will find a large well-equipped kitchen complete with integrated appliances and an AGA. Next to this is the spacious dining room with lots of character features such as original slate floor, there is also a large oak table to comfortably seat up to 12. The dining room leads into the tastefully decorated drawing room where guests can relax in front of the wood-burner on one of the comfy sofas. A second relaxed sitting room can be found opposite the kitchen, this has a wood-burner, leather sofas, a TV, a DVD player and an iPod docking station.

There are six good sized bedrooms at the house, the first can be found on the ground floor and is a pretty twin with en-suite shower room, a dressing room and french doors opening out onto the garden. Two separate staircases lead to the first floor where a further five bedrooms, including two doubles with king-size beds and en-suite shower rooms, three twins and the family bathroom can be found. There is also a reading area on the first floor.

Outside, Whitelady House has a south facing patio with garden furniture and a fire pit with BBQ grill attachment. Beyond this are landscaped gardens and a croquet lawn. An added bonus for guests staying at Whitelady House is the hot tub, which is a wonderful place to sit back and admire the clear black skies that can be found over Dartmoor. Also, outside is table tennis and off road car parking for multiple cars.

Fantastic property, great location
This is a large well appointed property, that was great for a large family get together. Beautiful walks on its doorstep. Some great pubs and the lovely market town of Tavistock very close.

Ideal family holiday
Whitelady house is superb. It is beautifully presented and equipped with everything we could need. The whole family enjoyed being there. The hot tub was especially appreciated! I have all ready recommended the house to friends wanting somewhere to go as a special treat.

Lovely, substantial house in picture postcard setting
Our very large family had a fabulous stay in this lovely big house, lots of features. Superb kitchen with more crockery, cutlery and utensils than a hotel, great for dinner parties! House was well heated, no problems with Wi-Fi, all the family managed to connect. Loads to do locally, we went to Looe a holiday resort about 30 miles away, very pretty also Plymouth. A lot to see locally as well if you look. Kids loved the hot tub, went in every evening. Can't fault the house and thanks to the owner for the splendid home made cakes they left us (:

Whitelady House
My college friends and I had a lovely stay at Whitelady House in Devon. The house is beautifully furnished, spacious and very well equipped in a beautiful location; the back garden leads into Lydford Gorge which was absolutely beautiful in all its autumn glory. My college friends and I regularly book cottages throughout the UK and Whitelady House would certainly rank in the top 3; indeed we would definitely consider booking this one again as there is plenty of capacity for bigger parties. The only thing I can criticise Whitelady House for is it's wifi signal which is weak to say the least. Other than that it is the near perfect property especially if you like gorgeous countryside and walking.

A beautiful house on the edge of Dartmoor
We spent the second week of our holiday in this lovely house. The first week we were in another "HomeAway' house in Cornwall, which was also beautiful but very different. We were a party of 12 adults (2 families) and the house was more than big enough for us, the dining room is amazing. My only criticism, which isn't really one, was the poor wifi (they need a few extenders) and the lack of phone signal if you are on anything else than EE. The wifi is limited to the front 2 bedrooms and just about stretches to the TV room but that is it! Park cars outside the house rather than outside the out buildings as some slates are loose. The garden is lovely and so peaceful. We had 2 meals in the Castle pub in Lydford, which is just about walkable distance. Enjoyed the walk around Lydford Gorge. Had some great trips out to Hay Tor, Widecombe in the Moor (some lovely places to eat), Bude, Tavistock and the more adventurous of us had an excellent time 'dirt bike riding'. Loved the box of welcome homemade flapjacks, they went quickly. Only saw the owner once and she was very helpful. Only wish I could afford such a property near London!
