Ideal for couples searching for a pretty retreat close to romantic walks, paradisiacal spots and cultural intrigue, this property allows you to explore land, cities or sea, all within 25 miles of the front door.

A contemporary hideaway with an open-plan layout, everything you could possibly need is at your fingertips. This property provides a compact base to rest and enjoy long lie-ins in as well as a location to refresh and relax after spending time getting to know Mid Devon and beyond.

This is a nice little annex on the outskirts of a pretty hamlet, with good access to main roads. It was ideal for one person, comfortable and quite well equipped.

Although just off the A38, this cottage is quiet and very convenient for visiting the surrounding area. The bed is very comfortable and the property was very clean and well maintained. The garden area is a pretty bonus.

The owner is friendly and helpful. Well presented, tidy and clean property. Wet room shower is good for those who like them. Location in general is excellent for access to Dartmoor and the South Hams. In particular we found the lack of any distant view from the living room rather limiting, and the proximity of huge, derelict glasshouses is not veryRead more cheerful. We were not disturbed by the proximity of the A38. Hide

We enjoyed our stay greeted and met by owner Michael since our satnav didn't recognise post code. Very quiet though some road noise but not adverse . Nice touches like milk in fridge and biscuits. Central location to suit our visit. Pleasant sitting in the garden advantage of good weather.
