A GRADE II listed house – Great Bidlake Manor – on the edge of Dartmoor National Park has been added to Helpful Holidays portfolio for 2016. Sleeping 13 guests in six bedrooms, it has been the ancestral home of the Bidlake family since 1268, and was re-built in Elizabethan style in the 16th century.
Set in 13.5 acres of gardens, woodland, and paddocks, the pet-friendly house has six bathrooms, two kitchens, a large dining room, a library, a TV room, a music room, and a games room.
Recently renovated in partnership with English Heritage, it is a mile Bridestowe, with its village pub and shop, seven miles from Okehampton (Devon), and 11 from Launceston (Cornwall).
King Charles I reputedly stayed at Great Bidlake in 1644, during the English Civil War, after which part of the estate was sold to pay fines imposed by the Commonwealth government.
