This is a very cozy cottage, nice nice beds and a very kind caretaker. We were there when the whole of south England was covered in feet of snow and she kindly offered that we could extend our stay for free if the snow would still be as bad on our planned departure date. Also, our daughter left a movie in the dvd-player, which she quickly and free returned to us by post. So: really nice place with excellent service.

The charming country town of North Tawton quietly rests amidst lush green fields, high hedgerows and winding lanes, just 8 miles north of historic Okehampton. Nestling between the high, rugged tors of Dartmoor and the wide sandy beaches and rolling surf of the North Devon coast, this delightful town boasts picturesque thatched cottages and quaint pubs and restaurants. The surrounding countryside is ideal for walking and cycling with many pretty little villages dotted throughout the area, and several excellent coarse fishing lakes and rivers, quality golf courses and a number of National Trust properties are within easy reach. There are few better spots from which to experience the joys of beautiful Devon.

A lovely cosy cottage with all one could wish for. We could not have wished for a better cottage!

There's a really nice outdoor play area for young children 5mins away. The Nest is a perfect location to discover Dartmoor by foot.
