Expensive Dartmoor Caravan Site Up for Sale at £2.5 Million
Langstone Manor Caravan & Camping Park: A Popular Destination in Dartmoor National Park
Langstone Manor Caravan & Camping Park, nestled in the quiet hamlet of Moortown within the picturesque Dartmoor National Park, has been a favourite destination for outdoor enthusiasts for over six decades.
Established as a Country Park in the 1950s, the park has evolved under its current owners over approximately 25 years into a well-established, multifaceted outdoor leisure destination. It caters to caravanners, campers, and motorhome tourists, providing a quality holiday experience within a well-maintained natural setting.
The park spans just under five acres and offers a wide range of accommodation options, including facilities specifically designed for caravans and camping. Its location near attractions such as Widecombe-in-the-Moor and Haytor adds to its appeal for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Langstone Manor combines peaceful surroundings with opportunities for walking, cycling, and nature-based breaks. The park is also conveniently located for easy access to both the north and south Devon coasts.
The park's main house, built around 1870, retains many character features expected of a Victorian property. On the ground floor, it houses a bar, restaurant, conservatory, games room, and kitchen. Two flats are located above.
Two three-bedroom holiday cottages, converted from former stables in the 1980s, provide further guest accommodation. The bar and restaurant at Langstone Manor are operated by a third party on a rolling informal agreement.
After 25 years of operation, Langstone Manor is now available for sale. The park was recently put on the market with an asking price around £2.5 million, reflecting its commercially viable and established status. Although detailed financials are not publicly disclosed, the sale price and longstanding operation suggest a stable financial performance.
In recognition of its quality, Langstone Manor has been voted one of the best caravan sites in the UK by readers of a certain website. In 2023, it was also named the best caravan park in Devon in the Guide.
Planning permission is already in place for nine additional 'Mega pods' in a walled garden area at Langstone Manor, providing opportunities for further expansion.
Joanna Davies, a Staff Writer for Practical Motorhome and the website, joined the team in March 2022. Her role involves writing travel features, campsite round-ups, and sourcing gear recommendations. Last year, she converted a 2009 Renault Grand Scenic into a micro-camper, taking her to Shropshire and the Peak District.
Meanwhile, Trewan Hall in Cornwall, another campsite, has been put up for sale for £3.5m. The site, which has also appeared in a Top 100 guide, is 36 acres and is only nine miles from Newquay.
As Langstone Manor bids farewell to its current owners, it continues to offer a unique and memorable experience for visitors seeking a peaceful retreat amidst the beauty of Dartmoor National Park.
