The property
Situated on a farm, at the end of the short farm track with captivating views from the drive towards the Dartmoor National Park, is Thorny Tallet. This wonderful barn conversion is ideally situated for a traditional family holiday in the remote countryside setting of Devon, with a well-equipped base to retire to each evening. Upon entering the property, you will be welcomed in by the spacious sitting room, which boasts plenty of character and charm. Be delighted by exposed brick fireplace which houses a roaring wood burning stove and offers comfort during those chilly winter months. Look forward to curling up on the comfy leather seating which rests in front of the TV, where you and your loved ones can catch up on your favourite TV shows or watch a DVD as the evening draws to a close. Beyond here is the well-equipped kitchen, where you will find everything you need to cater for yourselves during a week-long break with your loved ones. The charming interior is continued into the two well-presented bedrooms, comprising of a king-size double and a twin. Each evening you can look forward to retiring to the refreshing interior of the two bedrooms, where you will be delighted by the quality linens and the ample storage and space. During the warmer months, spend a moment or two within the garden area, where you can enjoy a spot of alfresco dining whilst your canine companion roams the large lawn area, with views across the countryside setting to enjoy. If you can tear yourself away from this base, venture into the bustling town of Okehampton, where you will be delighted to find a vast array of shops, pubs and restaurants to suit all ages and tastes. Brush up on the local history by spending time at the medieval castle which overlooks a wooded river valley and the 1950s style train station which runs a scenic trip up to Meldon.Just beyond Okehampton is the majestic Dartmoor National Park where you will find a magnitude of walking opportunities, as well as the Roadford Reservoir with opportunities for watersports and fishing.
