Property Description
Once part of an old Victorian village school in Chillaton, Schoolmaster's Cottage now offers comfortably appointed holiday accommodation, and offers a great deal for those wanting to experience life in a pretty rural village. Adjacent to the owner's home, this semi-detached cottage is ideal for couples or a family. Well laid out and furnished, it benefits from a good size garden which backs onto open countryside. Chillaton is located in a very unspoilt area of mid Devon, just a short distance from Dartmoor. There is also good access to the stunning beaches of both North Cornwall and Devon. The local town of Okehampton, often referred to as the gateway to Dartmoor, has a good range of shops and local amenities, and the historic market town of Tavistock is famous for its markets and shops.
There are plenty of walks for all ages and abilities on Dartmoor, as well as dramatic scenery and pretty villages with pubs and tea rooms. Towards the coast there are many fine beaches and coves including Saunton, Woolacombe and Westward Ho!. A trip to Lundy Island can be arranged from Bideford pier, and there are numerous places of interest close by including the RHS gardens at Rosemoor, Dartington Crystal, the historic fishing village of Clovelly or the last castle to be built in England at Castle Drogo (National Trust). Roadford Lake and nearby Dingles Steam Museum are other local attractions well worth a visit during your stay. For those wanting to travel a little further, the A30 is a great link into North Cornwall and its many attractions, such as The Eden Project and Padstow. Golf is available at Okehampton and Ashbury, or you can hire a bike and cycle the Tarka Trail at Great Torrington. Beach 25½ miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 2½ miles.
