The property

Lily Pad is a charming one-bedroom romantic retreat for two, all on the ground floor and being part of a substantial Victorian house, which is tucked away down a leafy drive on the very edge of Okehampton.

Close by is Okehampton Station which reopened in November 2021, after being shut for nearly 50 years, offering passengers a two-hourly service to and from Exeter. Lily Pad is also only a 5-minute walk to the Route 27 cycleway, and so this stylish apartment is likely to appeal particularly to walkers and cyclists. After parking up in your own marked space, enter the garden and follow the pathway to the French doors.

Prepare to be impressed as you step into the large airy living room which is stylish, colourful and filled with bold artwork and green plants.

There are antique furnishings, and the room is warmed by subtle lighting and a wood burning effect electric stove. Through an archway opening is the compact but fully equipped kitchen, ideal for preparing those romantic meals for two, and a well-designed shower room in keeping with the Victorian style and charm of the building.

Beyond is the chic bedroom with comfy double bed and doors leading out to a small private courtyard space, complete with bistro table and chairs so you can enjoy your favourite drink and chat away into the night.

If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic abode, head into Okehampton for a choice of pubs, including The Fountain, serving home-cooked meals, The Kings Arms for live music and The London Inn to watch your favourite sports.

Just beyond the train station, you can hire a bike and explore this charming market town on wheels!

Or maybe cycle or walk the Granite Way track to Lydford 11 miles away, which has a castle and very welcoming pub.

Those looking to get their steps in will have no trouble while exploring the beautiful Dartmoor National Park, which you can be done either on foot or horseback, and the owners can provide riding gear if you do wish to ride.

Visit the pretty little moorland village of Belstone, where you can enjoy a Devon cream tea and wander onto Dartmoor for a spot of outdoor swimming in the many natural pools including Meldon Quarry.

Further afield you have Roadford reservoir with a multitude of water sport activities and fishing opportunities.

Being situated in central Devon, Okehampton is ideally placed for exploring both North and South coasts, pretty unspoilt villages and some fascinating National Trust sites such as Cotehele, Saltram and Buckland Abbey.

Lily pad is at the heart of it all a delightful cottage that offers all visitors a chance to relax.

Note: This accommodation can be booked with Refs. 1135457 and 1135458 and 1135459, together sleeping eight guests.

Honeyside Down

These one-bedroom dwellings are set just below Okehampton Station in an idyllic, tree-lined woodland setting, just a short walk from the rugged Moorland landscape of Dartmoor. Offering the perfect balance between seclusion and convenience, Honeyside Down provides a truly unique break for couples looking to spend some time in Devon. Within the site there is a communal car park and three of the dwellings have access to an open-use Cedar wood hot tub nestled under a large oak tree. Within a short walk lies Okehampton Station, offering hourly services to Exeter and further services to the whole of Devon, whilst a similar distance away lies the Granite Way cycle path and Route 27 cycleway, two stunning trails running through Devon’s wonderfully green and verdant countryside. Head into Okehampton and expect to find a range of shops, eateries and pubs, as well as a charming Victorian shopping arcade, a museum and a park for picnics. Within a scenic drive lies Roadford Lake, ideal for watersports, fishing, paddleboarding and kayaking, whilst the scenic splendour of the Dartmoor National Park can’t be missed. Choose Honeyside Down for a truly unique escape to Devon.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

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.
