About this property
Tucked away in the unspoilt and untouched Avon Valley, Weekemoor surveys the countryside. There's a sweeping lawn with private river access, fire pit, zero light pollution and not a soul to disturb but the resident wildlife; hoo-ing owls , otters, kingfishers, water voles all call this wilderness home.
In summer, there's all to play for outdoors, from the iconic surf at Bantham Beach just 20 minutes away, the yachting haven of Salcombe just as close with Hope Cove and Dartmouth a short drive away.
Wind your way up the drive, past the ancient oak, and arrive at Weekemoor, where the pressures of life melt away.. Within the grounds, you'll discover a winding path; follow your feet and uncover charming private river access and a pebbly beach for dipping and wallowing, dotted with pretty outdoor furniture - perfect for pooh-stick throwing, novel reading, elderflower sipping, and even a spot of fishing. Weekemoor has private fishing rights, so little ones can learn to catch a salmon, if they’re lucky!
Inside, Weekemoor is known as the "Weaver Green house," with an easy elegance about the place, filled with soft woven textiles and beautiful cool colours. Honest, tactile materials set the tone at this refined Devon home; Weaver Green homewares are made from millions of plastic bottles, turning them into a beautiful soft yarn that's hand-loomed. Everything Weaver Green has helped prevent hundreds of single-use plastic bottles from ending up in the ground or floating in the ocean. The sitting room has squashy sofas and a roaring wood-burning stove. The house has a breezy disposition; it is a calm, soothing, and relaxing place. There's a fully equipped kitchen for a self-contained getaway with honest creature comforts: a Smeg range cooker, huge American fridge freezer, and double doors opening to an utterly magical large alfresco dining area beneath the wisteria and sunshine.
Night-time at Weekemoor unveils a celestial spectacle, drawing the day to a close with a cosmos untouched by artificial glare. This is a place where you sleep deeply. All four bedrooms have large cocooning beds (all with super-king-sized zip-and-link beds for flexible sleeping arrangements). Weekemoor promises a restful, dark, and quiet night after jam-packed days exploring the nearby beaches, rambling the coastline, and indulging in languid picnics. Two of the four bedrooms are situated on the ground floor, so those less able to climb stairs or teens craving privacy will be catered for. They share a beautiful marble bathroom with a deep bathtub and fluffy towels. One of these ground-floor bedrooms has beautiful garden views and access to the terrace beyond. Upstairs are two utterly beautiful and spacious bedrooms, designed to feel cool in summer and cosy in winter - each with their own ensuite.
Weekemoor's private drive and spacious car park offer ample room for multiple vehicles. This is a place where everyone can gather and come and go as they please. There is a genuine sense of remoteness, whilst also being a short drive to some of South Devon's "best bits". The neighbouring wild moorland of Dartmoor promises a feeling of being thoroughly re-wilded. Nearby Dartmouth and it's sensational array of restaurants, Dittisham and it's short ferry ride to Agatha Christie's beautiful home, Salcombe and it's boating opportunities, and the picturesque little villages left off the tourist map, but well worth discovering.
For guests seeking a deeper sense of relaxation, private yoga sessions with Francesca Stafford Yoga can be arranged at Weekemoor. Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced, all are welcome to enjoy a tailored session either outside on the terrace or in the comfort of the spacious sitting room, which can be transformed into a peaceful indoor studio during cooler months. Mats are provided, and sessions are flexible in length (from 45 to 90 minutes), priced at a flat rate of £100 for up to 8 guests – perfect for getting the whole family involved without needing to commit to exact numbers in advance.

What an absolutely wonderful property and located in the most beautiful setting! Weekemoor is such a lovely house and felt very homely. I must mention the fabulous beds, so comfy and the gorgeous bed linen too. The grounds are so beautiful that none of us wanted to leave. We hope to be back again soon!! Many thanks Finest Stays, this is the third property belonging to your collection we have stayed in and all have such high standards! 5 out of 5 from our party!

We had a really great stay at Weekemoor. I’ve rented many houses in my time but this was right up there with the very best. It was roomy, tastefully presented, spotlessly clean, really comfortable beds, great bedding and towels, well equipped kitchen. The position is so peaceful, with the garden and fields leading to the river. It was all great. We had a great week with our daughter and 9 month old grand daughter revisiting all the places we used to visit on family holidays in Dittisham when the children were small. And we were lucky with the weather! The organisation was perfect and we will definitely use Finest Stays again.

Weekemoor is simply exquisite, without doubt one of the best rental properties I've ever stayed in. It's spacious whilst retaining a cosy feel, spotless, beautifully decorated and well-appointed with thoughtful touches - the welcoming goodies & discount at Heron Valley were a lovely extra treat. Tucked at the end of a private lane enveloped by giant oak trees & lush meadows the location is tranquil & unspoilt, but also centrally positioned enough for easy trips to Dartmouth, Salcombe & Burgh Island, all within a relatively short driving distance. Being at Weekemoor felt like stepping into an idyllic Country Life spread, it was a joy.
