Description
Coach House (Devon) details
The Coach House is a spectacularly converted detached barn standing in just under half an acre of lawned garden, an ideal location for a family holiday. It is set apart from a stunning range of barns comprising the former model farm of Week. Week lies amidst glorious countryside just outside the Dartmoor National Park with more than 365 square miles of open access moorland, forest and rivers, supplying ample opportunities for walking and riding. The Coach House is situated off a quiet country lane and has beautiful views over open countryside.
Guests have use of a shared hard tennis court and a communal pool with Jacuzzi.
Week lies about a mile from the familiar West Devon landmark of Brentor Church, a picturesque 13th century church perched precariously atop the granite mound of Brent Tor.
At Lydford, four miles to the north-east, there is the remarkable Lydford Gorge with its spectacular waterfall and riverside walk, together with Lydford Castle and prison, a village pub, an italian restaurant and the renowned Dartmoor Inn gastropub.
There are further village shops and pubs in the nearby villages of Mary Tavy and Milton Abbot and also pubs in Peter Tavy and Lamerton. Many of the local pubs feature in "The Good Pub Guide".
The scenic market town of Tavistock (voted best Market Town in 2004) lies five miles to the south and offers a wide selection of unusual gift shops, boutiques and delicatessens in addition to the more usual supermarkets and shops. The town possesses a renowned pannier market and The Wharf is a popular venue for cinema and the arts.
If you would prefer a change from the rugged vista of Dartmoor, then gorgeous sandy beaches, sailing and other watersports are available at a number of venues along the north and south coasts. Both are easily accessible by car, the closest beaches on the north coast being about 45 minutes away.
Watersports, lakeside walks and a cafe with stunning lakeside views can also be found at the popular Roadford Reservoir about 20 minutes drive to the north. There are also opportunities to fish in the reservoir and the local rivers.
The Eden Project is located about an hour's drive away and the very popular restaurants of celebrity chefs Jamie Oliver and Rick Stein are to be found in Newquay and Padstow respectively.
The A30, six miles to the north and the A38, about 18 miles to the south, both facilitate rapid access to Cornwall, Exeter (about 45 minutes away) and the M5 motorway.
Mainline railway stations are located at Plymouth and Exeter and airports at Plymouth, Exeter and Bristol.
Facilities will be available in the future to allow guests to bring their own horses on holiday with them to enjoy the stunning moorland riding available in the area. These facilities will include stables and/or grazing for DIY livery and use of a large riding arena.
