Description

The Two Moors Way, a long-distance route stretching between Dartmoor and Exmoor, and Buckfastleigh and the ancient stannary town of Ashburton are both four miles away. Forestoke Linhay is a detached, barn conversion on a small working farm on the edge of Holne. With open moorland just outside the farm gates it’s an ideal location for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers. The cottage is traditionally furnished and full of character with exposed stone walls, wooden beams and vaulted ceilings. The living area is small and cosy, warmed by a wood burning stove. Adjoining the lounge, there is a rustic conservatory with doors opening onto the enclosed, terraced patio garden. From the twin bedroom, doors open onto a small patio and the pretty double bedroom has extensive views towards Torquay and Teignmouth, taking in Hembury and Holne Woods.

Ashburton is in the Dartmoor National Park, a spot from which to explore the moors and coastline. There is plenty of scenery in South Devon and it offers opportunities for walking, pony trekking, canoeing, fishing and beach-goers. Ashburton has artisan shops and a museum. It has tea rooms, a wine bar and a deli. In the area, Dartmoor has villages with thatched cottages and ancient churches. Lustleigh, North Bovey, Chagford and Widecombe-in-the- Moor are examples. The seaside town of Teignmouth is half hour away and Blackpool Sands further down the coast is one of South Devon's most beautiful beaches. Whether it's a moor or coast that you’re seeking for your getaway, Ashburton is a central town from to base your break.
