The Old Stables

This superb barn conversion boasts stunning countryside views, a secluded patio (pictured) for alfresco dining and a large garden as well an ideal holiday location adjoining another property in a delightful moorland village with a good pub and shop. With Haytor ? one of Dartmoor's most spectacular crags ? just 2 miles away, and the famous village of Widecombe-in-the Moor close by, this is glorious walking country. Nearby is Newton Abbot, a bustling town with a well known racecourse, a railway museum, regular market days and excellent shopping and leisure facilities. Peaceful river cruises up the River Dart to Dartmouth depart from Totnes, a charming historic town famed for its interesting and eclectic shops including antique bookshops. The National Trust's Bradley Manor is a short drive away as is an unusual Hedgehog Hospital. And no Devon holiday would be complete without at least one trip to one of its fabulous beaches ? Dawlish Warren, Teignmouth and the English Riviera resorts of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham are all easily accessible. Deservedly popular with visitors since the time of Queen Victoria, the 'Riviera' resorts offer a huge range of attractions and activities to suit all tastes as well as events held throughout the year. There is a craft gallery at Bovey Tracey, 3 miles.
