The Old Vicarage
Shaugh Prior
Set in the village of Shaugh Prior, on the southern edge of Dartmoor, The Old Vicarage is a welcoming Victorian home with history.
Liz and Don have created a relaxed base from which to enjoy Dartmoor and this part of Devon, whether you’re walking, exploring or simply taking a few days away.
A Victorian home
with character
Built in the 19th century, The Old Vicarage retains many of the features and atmosphere of a traditional Dartmoor house.
Generous rooms, original details and views across the surrounding countryside give the house a distinctive charm, while Liz and Don have furnished it in an informal, homely style.
It is very much a family home — somewhere to return to after a day on the moor, enjoy a good breakfast and settle into the slower pace of village life.
A relaxed place to stay
The Old Vicarage is somewhere to settle in and feel at home. There is no formality and no need to rush.
Guests can enjoy the house and garden, spend the day exploring Dartmoor, or simply return after a walk to somewhere warm and welcoming.
Liz and Don offer a friendly, personal stay where guests can unwind at their own pace and enjoy this special part of Devon.
The house and garden
The Old Vicarage stands on the edge of Shaugh Prior, surrounded by gardens and the open countryside of southern Dartmoor.
Mature trees, lawns and views across the surrounding landscape make the garden an inviting place to sit and enjoy the changing light and seasons.
Whether you are returning from a day’s walking or simply taking things slowly, the house and garden provide a lovely backdrop to your stay.
