    “This holiday at "The old School house" in Lustleigh has been for many reasons one of our most relaxing and comfortable destinations .”

    First of all the owners Bill and Heather were there to greet us, as well as inform us about the village and the surrounding district. Bill then gave us some hints on places to visit, some of which we took his advice and were not disappointed. The school house is the most comfortable place we have stayed at with all you need at hand ,including a very well laid out garden which we were able to spend many hours sitting in and enjoying the views, which were many.

    First of all the owners Bill and Heather were there to greet us, as well as inform us about the village and the surrounding district. Bill then gave us some hints on places to visit, some of which we took his advice and were not disappointed. The school house is the most comfortable place we have stayed at with all you need at hand ,including a very well laid out garden which we were able to spend many hours sitting in and enjoying the views, which were many. The village of Lustleigh has a Pub/restaurant a post office grocers shop as well as beautiful tea room that serves the best cream tea. This village is one of the most picturesque we have walked around with its Thatched cottages and locals only to willing to stop and chat with you, we even managed to see a cricket match whilst we were there. The location of Lustleigh meant it was easy to visit Dartmoor of which a trip to Haytor was an excellent walk with a stunning view at the top. Also you are not far from places like Brixham, Colleton Fishacres and Castle Drogo. Another bonus was being able to go to Widdecombe Fair in the beautiful village of Widdecombe, and we did see Uncle Tom Cobley! But most of all the school house accommodation has given us a welcome two week break that refreshed and revitalised both my wife and I, and we needed it. Well done to Bill and Heather for creating this exceptional Home.

Mostly to the front, a pretty garden surrounds it on two levels with your own two patios (tables/chairs) and terraced lawn from which to enjoy this sleepy little village and the gorgeous view, and which opens to the friendly owners' adjoining garden.

From garden, door into living room with wood burner effect electric fire, Smart TV and piano.

Kitchen/dining room (slimline dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, fridge, electric cooker).

Shower-room (suite).

Stairs up to two bedrooms, both with period beams and wrought iron supports (some low, padding provided!) - a double (5' bed) and gallery looking through toughened glass (curtains) to downstairs, and one with two singles; loo between the two bedrooms.

A lovely spot, 150 yards from the tea room, pub and shop, with many scenic walking routes from the door.

If you can tear yourself away from the village, just a short walk away is Cleave, a steep hill that offers incredible views over Lustleigh and the surrounding Dartmoor landscape. Visitors will revel in the opportunity to explore ‘the prettiest village in Dartmoor’.
