About this property

Double Ensuite Chapel Annex at The Oratory

The Chapel is divided into two areas: the upper mezzanine is a spacious double bedroom and the lower area a lounge and kitchenette.

The lounge area has a sofa which converts into two full size single beds. We have cots which can be put into The Chapel on request.

Optional sumptuous continental breakfast. This is put in your room the night before in order for you to enjoy at your leisure.
Bed & Continental Breakfast or Self Catering - its your choice which you book. Located in Princetown, we are wonderfully positioned for exploring Dartmoor as well as further afield into the rest of Devon and Cornwall.

When you stay at The Chapel, you have exclusive guest occupancy at The Oratory for the duration of your stay.

The Chapel sleeps up to four, and is accessed through its own private entrance, with the hall leading to the main split level room. The upper mezzanine area is a spacious double bedroom and the lower area a lounge/kitchenette in which the sofa can extend into two single beds. Also accessed from the hall is a large, light, airy bathroom with double-ended deep bath, separate shower and underfloor heating.

There are local maps and books in The Chapel if you need any help in planning your stay with us, as well as various novels if you wish to spend any time indoors. Extra beds/cots can be put in the room on request. Guests are welcome to use the garden, please note we do have a few covered small ponds, so we ask children to be accompanied. Dogs are welcome, and we have a special box of goodies to make any four-legged friends feel at home.

Princetown is ideally situated for walkers and cyclists. The town is overlooked by the North Hessary Tor and is close to Fox Tor Mires, said to be the inspiration for the Grimpen Mire in Sir Arthur Doyle's novel "The Hound of the Baskervilles". The Chapel is also within easy reach of various tourist attractions including the Dartmoor Miniature Pony Centre and Lydford Gorge. Many adventure activities are also available nearby including balloon flights, climbing, canoeing and caving. The lovely market town of Tavistock is 6 miles away.

A great place to stay for a quiet break, walking on the moor etc. I did have difficulty contacting host via Vrbo, not the hosts fault.

My wife and I stayed 3 nights and wish we had booked a further 2 days.
The accommodation was great with parking just outside by the granite steps. The bed was very comfortable. Was only a short walk from the Prince of Wales for a meal. A great base to explore Dartmoor. We even ventured into Cornwall. Hope to stay at the Oratory again, we certainly recommend it.

Returning visitors! We love it at the Oratory, beautiful location for exploring the moors yet close to pubs for eating, spotlessly clean and very comfortable accommodation. We shall return again!

Wonderful weekend
Our second stay here so obviously we love it. Just as good as the first time, including the weather. We both had a brilliant time and so did the dog. We're all looking forward to another visit.

Amazing pre visit communication. On arrival, lovely comfy, clean room. Perfect hideaway from the dartmoor rain. Child and dog friendly. Amazing comfy bed, fantastic bath. Also, just a short stroll down to the pub for food and a drink so no worries about driving

Tranquil break away.
Another wonderful stay at the Oratory, on our arrival we we're greeted with a lovely warm welcome as returning guests, by Jeanette & her husband, 🤗. We had a glorious weekend of sunshine which only added to our enjoyable stay in Devon. We look forward to staying again soon as we found the Oratory a perfect base for exploring the Devonshire country side. 10/10.

Short break in Dartmoor
We have been visiting as a family to have a short break in Dartmoor for many years. Since we discovered The Oratory we never stay anywhere else. There are 3 of us & 2 dogs and it suits us perfectly. I love the fact it’s self contained and who could not fail to love the bathroom!

Perfect Dartmoor break.
We loved the Oratory, gorgeous house in a great spot for walking the moors from the doorstep. Our room was very comfortable and clean with a lovely bathroom. The owners are very helpful and friendly.The breakfast food is delicious and plentiful. Both pubs are great for eating/drinks too. Thoroughly enjoyed it all.

Loved it as always
Feels like a home from home now. Everything as perfect as ever. Clean, comfy, nice provisions and lots of opportunity to get out on our beloved moors. Always feel very welcome and looked after, but with plenty of space for relaxing away from it all.
