- It’s Bovey Castle, darling!
That's not a sugar lump - I know a compass when I see one!
We did a wonderful walk on Sunday from Lustleigh over Hunters Tor to Manaton (quick pint there) then back through Water to Lustleigh (lovely lunch and a few pints at the Cleave)
Dartmor was at its best in the clear winter light, with the sun shining on Bovey Castle. Ian tried to woo a Dartmoor pony but it was having none of it!!
Come and explore Dartmoor over Easter in a cosy self catering barn, on the edge of a village with great pub! We are offering an Easter break for only £900 for 10 nights – giving you the chance to really relax and get to know this wonderful part of Devon. Warhorse was filmed only a fw miles away. If April is as nice as usual, you’ll be able to spend time on our sandy beaches, do some wonderful walks and find out why Devon is so popular as a holiday destination! Exeter is only 8 miles away.
here's to you!!
Dartmoor is lovely at any time of the year – and it’s hard to beat sitting by a real fire, logs blazing, with a pint of your favourite local real ale close to hand!! (and quite probably another one to follow…) So even when it’s cold outside, it’s such a treat to go for a walk and end up in one of the many pubs near our b & b, either in Exeter or in one of Dartmoor villages around us. The food is so delicious too that it’s hard to resist that too!
We’ve just had a brilliant weekend in London – an easy 2 hour trip on the train from Exeter to Paddington. We went to see Warhorse at the theatre – a treat to ourselves! Warhorse was exceptional – clever and moving. Since it was filmed here on Dartmoor, we’re looking forward to seeing the film too. It even snowed while we were in London which was magical!
What is in your stocking darling??
Whether there’s snow or the mildest weather we can remember, Christmas in Devon is a joy.
We spent it in Lympstone in our little holiday cottage while Orchard Barn was let for the week to a family from overseas. Back here for New Year – village life, a beer or two with friends and locals, drinks invites galore! Dartmoor was looking amazing; Exeter was charming with its lights and wonderful shops – Jail Ale hit the spot as it always does.
