Previously known as a Quaker village, Sticklepath is just inside the Dartmoor National Park and is also home to the old Finch Foundry, now taken over by the National Trust but still operating as a working forge and foundry. Primula House, with its pretty garden at the front, is a Grade II Listed, detached property set on the village main street, dating back to the mid-1800s. On the edge of a mill leat (please take care with toddlers) the kitchen/diner is actually built out over the stream itself. With a navy blue Rayburn (the main source for cooking but a combination microwave is also provided) and matching rag-rolled blue cupboards, guests will probably spend a lot of time here. Elsewhere, the dining-room has a lovely inglenook fireplace housing a multi-burner and the sitting-room is charming with a striking wooden floor and comfortable blue and yellow furniture. Close to all the amenities of Dartmoor, Primula House has much to offer anyone interested in exploring this renowned area of Devon.
