    “Thorny Talley is gorgeous cottage nestled in a quiet peaceful location, but near to many attractions.”

    The cottage was clean and comfortable and very cosy, especially with the woodfire stove and underfloor heating. With the comfy beds and a good bath to soak in after long walks, we truly relaxed and enjoyed our week. Bruno the hound especially loved the secure garden. The owners were kind and helpful and very respectful of our privacy, and we hope to return.

OKEHAMPTON

Exeter 23 miles.

Okehampton is a busy market town on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park and near the highest and most dramatic areas of the moor, where Yes Tor rises to a height above 2000 feet. To the north of Okehampton are some beautiful rolling Devon hills where small farming villages nestle amidst woods and fields with plenty of gently flowing rivers. The fabulous Roadford Reservoir offers a multitude of watersport activities and fishing opportunities. Okehampton has a prominent medieval castle overlooking a wooded river valley, the Museum of Dartmoor Life and Okehampton train station, which has been restored to its 1950s glory: The Dartmoor Line now operates a service between Okehampton and Exeter every hour, 7 days a week. The town also has access to fabulous walks and Simmons Park where you’ll find a children’s adventure playground. This area of Devon has plenty of farm shops and country inns serving good food where visitors can spend time relaxing and unwinding amongst unspoilt countryside.
