Lily Pad is a charming one-bedroom romantic retreat for two, all on the ground floor and being part of a substantial Victorian house, which is tucked away down a leafy drive on the very edge of Okehampton.
Close by is Okehampton Station which reopened in November 2021, after being shut for nearly 50 years, offering passengers a two-hourly service to and from Exeter.
Lily Pad is also only a 5-minute walk to the Route 27 cycleway, and so this stylish apartment is likely to appeal particularly to walkers and cyclists.
After parking up in your own marked space, enter the garden and follow the pathway to the French doors.
Prepare to be impressed as you step into the large airy living room which is stylish, colourful and filled with bold artwork and green plants.
There are antique furnishings, and the room is warmed by subtle lighting and a wood burning effect electric stove.
Through an archway opening is the compact but fully equipped kitchen, ideal for preparing those romantic meals for two, and a well-designed shower room in keeping with the Victorian style and charm of the building.
Beyond is the chic bedroom with comfy double bed and doors leading out to a small private courtyard space, complete with bistro table and chairs so you can enjoy your favourite drink and chat away into the night.
If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic abode, head into Okehampton for a choice of pubs, including The Fountain, serving home-cooked meals, The Kings Arms for live music and The London Inn to watch your favourite sports.
Just beyond the train station, you can hire a bike and explore this charming market town on wheels!
Or maybe cycle or walk the Granite Way track to Lydford 11 miles away, which has a castle and very welcoming pub.
Those looking to get their steps in will have no trouble while exploring the beautiful Dartmoor National Park, which you can be done either on foot or horseback, and the owners can provide riding gear if you do wish to ride.
Visit the pretty little moorland village of Belstone, where you can enjoy a Devon cream tea and wander onto Dartmoor for a spot of outdoor swimming in the many natural pools including Meldon Quarry.
Further afield you have Roadford reservoir with a multitude of water sport activities and fishing opportunities.
Being situated in central Devon, Okehampton is ideally placed for exploring both North and South coasts, pretty unspoilt villages and some fascinating National Trust sites such as Cotehele, Saltram and Buckland Abbey.
Lily pad is at the heart of it all a delightful cottage that offers all visitors a chance to relax.
