Tiny House Atlas

Tiny houses on Dartmoor

Dartmoor is a granite upland of tors, bogs and half-wild ponies, and the only place in England where wild camping is allowed on parts of the open moor. The rentable version is gentler: shepherd’s huts on the farms that ring the moor, at Chagford, Moretonhampstead and along the eastern edge, with a wood burner and a walk onto the commons from the gate.

How we choose what counts as a tiny house

Booking sites don’t have a “tiny house” category — they file these stays under the generic “Accommodation” label. So we check every place by name and type and list only genuine free-standing small homes: tiny houses (on wheels or fixed), cabins, glamping pods, shepherd huts, yurts, domes and tree houses. No hotel rooms, no ordinary apartments.

The atlas currently lists 2632 hand-checked small stays across 363 destinations in 75 countries — 1484 of them additionally verified through independent research with a documented source.

Prices and availability come from our booking partners and can change at any time. Booking links are affiliate links — booking through them supports this site at no extra cost to you. Property type is checked from the listing name and category; if you spot a mistake, let us know.
