Cobweb Hall
This picturesque and beautiful cottage is across the road from the inn, and also created Buster Jones and it has a surreal and gothic ambiance to it too. Situated literally on the edge of Dartmoor and the village green, it provides two double romantic four poster bedrooms each reached by its own sweeping spiral staircase and both have
romantic Victorian-style bathrooms.
There is an open plan, spacious, touch of the baronial, dining area, a comfortable living room and adjacent
fully equipped galley kitchen.
There is a pretty garden at the rear with lovely views of Dartmoor. A great location for walking on the moor, cycling on the granite way or simply relaxing. Behind Cobweb Hall you will find one of Devon’s prettiest little churches, a labyrinth and further into the moor an unusual stone circle and a sacred pool.
Minimum stay is 3 nights, available from Booking.com or contact us for prices. The cottage has two double four poster beds and will sleep a maximum of two couples. Small to medium dogs are welcome.
History to the Name
The Highwayman Inn is family run inn and offers a unique drinking and eating experience for
local visitors and those from further afield.
A mural on the outside of the pub shows customers why the pub has its name. The Highwayman Inn is named after the highway robbers often found in England 250 years ago. They would ride on horseback wearing tricorn hats and long frock coats stopping carriages and would demand money and jewels at gunpoint. Many were ex-military men disillusioned and disenfranchised. Some were brutal and ruthless like Dick Turpin and others charming womanisers like Claude Duval. There were also some highwaywomen like the skilled horse woman Moll Cutpurse and the aristocratic Lady Sandys.
