NORTH TAWTON

Winkleigh 3 miles; Okehampton 8 miles.

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.

We never had such a well equipped holiday cottage before! The cottage is also very nicely furnished. This cottage is a perfect "base" to start from for many excursions in the area (Devon as well as Cornwall).
