    “Such a warm and friendly welcome.”

    Just loved the cream tea that was left for us on our arrival. Would definitely recommend this character property. Will have to visit again

About the location

OKEHAMPTON

Exeter 23 miles.

Okehampton is a busy market town on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park and near the highest and most dramatic areas of the moor, where Yes Tor rises to a height above 2000 feet. To the north of Okehampton are some beautiful rolling Devon hills where small farming villages nestle amidst woods and fields with plenty of gently flowing rivers. The fabulous Roadford Reservoir offers a multitude of watersport activities and fishing opportunities. Okehampton has a prominent medieval castle overlooking a wooded river valley, the Museum of Dartmoor Life and Okehampton train station, which has been restored to its 1950s glory: The Dartmoor Line now operates a service between Okehampton and Exeter every hour, 7 days a week. The town also has access to fabulous walks and Simmons Park where you’ll find a children’s adventure playground. This area of Devon has plenty of farm shops and country inns serving good food where visitors can spend time relaxing and unwinding amongst unspoilt countryside.

Two well-behaved dogs welcome - £20 supplement per pet, per stay.
NOTE….. Children must be supervised due to the hot tub and mezzanine bedroom and are the responsibility of parents at all times. As we have kittens, chickens, ducks, horses and sheep, we ask that your dogs are kept on leads and under control in the yard and adjoining area, we do offer allocated exercise areas where dogs can run off-lead, and there are some excellent local bridleways a few minutes walk away.
