You step through the door of The Retreat to find everything on one level—living space, kitchen, bedroom and shower room all arranged around an open-plan ground floor. A sofa bed and a double bedroom mean the cottage sleeps two comfortably, though it can stretch to four if needed. The kitchen is properly equipped for self-catering, with an electric oven, hob, microwave and washing machine tucked away in a utility room alongside a tumble dryer.
The cottage sits on a working farm near Lifton, with countryside visible from the windows and private parking for two cars on-site. Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels come as standard. One well-behaved pet stays free. There is an unfenced pond within the grounds, which matters if you're bringing young children. The farm has shared access to a play area, barbecue and garden furniture, though The Retreat itself offers a private patio. No smoking indoors.

What guests say
Hosts are so accommodating we had to book very last second as our tent broke when camping. Linda was an angel in the situation and sorted us out with the I hut. It’s been a beautiful stay with lovely views, good clean hut and a comfy bed. Will recommend to any around the Dartmoor area

Great week for the 11 of us across 4 of the Lodges. Bit off the beaten track but well worth it. Linda and the family are very welcoming and friendly. Great little fishing lake which the grandkids loved, same with the puppies. All the lodges were very nice, well maintained and had everything we needed, and our view from the retreat was lovely to wake up to, even in the rain. For the price of 4 lodges I doubt you can get better value.

Amazing location! All the best beaches, activities and sight seeing are within 1.5hrs drive. Amazing accommodation! The facilities are top notch, very clean, very spacious and very safe. Our kids loved seeing the puppies, calves, chickens and fishing. Amazing host!!! Linda Banbury is a gem! Very welcoming and everyone in the farm is friendly. Feels like family home. We absolutely loved our stay at the Frankaborough Cottage! My kids didn't want to leave! Definitely coming back! Thank very much! Christine, Nariko, Naomi, Senem, Idris & Zara 24 - 27 Aug. ❤️❤️

Lovely countryside views. We have been coming to this farm for the last 20 years and every time we visit , we are made so welcome. If you want to have a holiday and see “how real dairy farming is done” then book your holiday break here. The Banbury family are so friendly and welcoming, you won’t find a better place with lovely views and lovely people. See you all next year.
