Beechwood House... |
| A cottage style and ambience |
 |
Beechwood House, Dartmoor viewed from the front garden, 15th June 2006 |
Once two cottages and now one wonderful house, Beechwood keeps almost all of its original character and feel but with more up to date facilities such as hot and cold water and central heating.
Inside downstairs some walls have been cleaned to show the bare granite including the huge lintels over the fireplaces. In the higher and newer section of the house are rooms 1 and 2 and their bathroom and, downstairs, the kitchen and utility. In the middle are rooms 3 and 4 with their en suite facilities and reception and the dining room below. In the lower section, the guest lounge and our private lounge (yes, we have an inner sanctum to escape to!) are downstairs and room five and our bedroom are above. |

A house with history
It's always nice to know something about an old house, and we are lucky to have a very detailed record from Reg Bellamy's book on Postbridge.

A lovely old building
All of the rooms in Beechwood are decorated to maintain a simple cottage feel. The construction of the building is plain to see downstairs and the four fireplaces are possibly it's most outstanding features. The sun room extension on the west side is a lovely place to sit and watch the most wonderful sunsets over Higher White Tor. |

The dining room where we serve breakfast and dinner has a wonderful large fireplace.

The Guest Lounge is available all day, has a wood burning stove and the Beechwood Library. |

This is room 3, a double with en suite shower. |
