Room Description: Ashburn

Overview

A recently-refurbished large bedroom on the second floor with double aspect windows overlooking the garden at the front and the river at the back. It is a beautiful, peaceful room but when the river is high, you can clearly hear (and see) the running water. The room has elegant antique furniture and a classical country house feel! The comfortable marble-tiled bathroom has a large bath fitted with a shower.

About the River Ashburn

All our rooms are named after Dartmoor rivers.

The River Ashburn rises near Rippon Tor on Dartmoor, at a height of 365 metres above sea level.

The clean and fast-flowing river then cuts through a steep, wooded river valley and under stone brides.

The Ashburn then flows through Dartmoor National Park’s largest town, Ashburton.  Ashburton is, like Chagford, a “stannary” town – a traditional administrative centre of the tin mining industry.  After Ashburton, the River Ashburn joins the majestic River Dart near Buckfastleigh (home to the preserved South Devon Railway).
