Journey across the River Dart via the historic stone bridge to arrive at Stares Nest Cottage, a serene dwelling designed to host five guests, situated in Devon near Newton Abbot. This cottage boasts an orchard garden that gazes upon the ancient church tower of Holne.

From the moment you step inside, the characterful beams, textured walls and the rug-covered floors of this countryside home will envelop you and your family in warmth. It houses two bedrooms with a total of three beds to comfortably sleep five guests.

The garden, basking in sunlight, presents a wild, verdant landscape with sweeping views of the undulating hills, where the venerable church tower stands as your solitary neighbour. Enjoy the open-air ambiance by uncorking a bottle of wine and swinging open the kitchen doors to reveal the expansive Rayburn range. It's the perfect setup for cooking while engaging in lively conversations around the spacious table. Evenings at the cottage are for gathering around the fireplace, immersing in board games and shared stories.

Venture out to explore the village where the Two Moors Way, the pathway that links Exmoor and Dartmoor, traverses. Challenge yourselves with the demanding 15-mile journey south to Ivybridge, or take on the picturesque northern route towards Hameldown.
