The Old Vicarage, Shaugh Prior - Plymouth

R7136ILcharlesw

This Old Vicarage is in a magnificent position in the Dartmoor National Park, and is a superb example of Victorian architecture sympathetically restored for contemporary life. We had a lovely bedroom, with a beautiful view, the garden providing a very impressive foreground. The room was attractively furnished, with a very comfortable bed, and an excellent en suite shower room. We appreciated the excellent tea and coffee making facilities in the room.|Breakfast downstairs was certainly plentiful, and we were offered a large range of choices. It made a splendid start to the day, such that lunch was hardly necessary after such generous provision.|All in all, it was one of the best overnight stays we have so far had. A very warm welcome, generous hospitality, a lovely room in a wonderful house and an excellent breakfast all combined to substantiate this impression.

The Old Vicarage is a wonderful Victorian building, in a marvellous position in the Dartmoor National Park. It has been beautifully adapted for contemporary life, and yet retains its magnificent architecture and character. The porch and the staircase are especially impressive.||The bedroom where we stayed was lovely. It is spacious, light and airy, with marvellous views and the attractive garden in the foreground. It is very well equipped, with a comfortable bed, and an excellent en suite shower room. We appreciated the tea and coffee making facilities in the room.||Breakfast was certainly plentiful , with a very wide range of choices, many locally produced. We both enjoyed it very much, and we felt a very small lunch was all we needed afterwards.||All in all, we decided that this was one of the best one night stays we had experienced. It is a beautiful location and a fascinating house, but the warm welcome and the generous hospitality ensured that this was the case.

Our family had the pleasure of spending two nights at The Old Vicarage in Shaugh Prior, and it was a truly wonderful experience. Right from the start, Liz and Don were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. Their consideration and care for our two-year-old were exceptional and made our stay stress-free.

The Vicarage itself is a delightful mix of charm and comfort. The beautifully kept interiors have a timeless appeal, offering a cosy and inviting atmosphere. The surroundings were incredibly serene, providing a picturesque backdrop that was both calming and pleasing to the eye.

What made our stay truly special was the genuine care and attention given to us by our lovely hosts. Liz and Don (and Arfur the dog) went the extra mile to ensure we were well taken care of, creating an environment that was perfect for our little one.

The peaceful views, the lovely house, and the heartfelt hospitality made our stay very special.

Thank you both and we hope to see you again if we pass through in the future.

We had a fantastic couple of nights staying here with our three girls. Liz and Don are great hosts and the food was delicious! The house is so peaceful and relaxing - even though storms were raging outside, we all slept brilliantly. For wet weather options, we recommend Buckland Abbey (National Trust, home is Sir Francis Drake) and the Life Centre for swimming. Hope to be back again soon!

We had a wonderful time in the lovely old vicarage. Liz and Don are so friendly, helpful and excellent cooks. We loved our breakfasts and dinners. ||There is a variety of great walks nearby, without any need to drive. We have had three stays in the old vicarage so far. Loved it! ||Excellent experience.

We've just returned from a long weekend at the Old Vicarage. Liz and Don are wonderful hosts - together with their Collie, Arfur of course - cannot fault the service and great breakfasts.... far too much fantastic food on offer each morning.||||Very secluded spot but with wonderful views and plenty to see on their doorstep. Regrettably we didn't have the weather but that wasn't Liz and Don's fault!

Very characterful accommodation in quiet village setting. Owners could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Excellent food and value for money. The room we had was extremely comfortable with a large ensuite and views across to Plymouth sound
