Three miles away lies the hamlet of Whiddon Down, home to a fine pub, whilst further afield is the market town of Okehampton, where visitors can explore the ruins of Okehampton Castle, a prominent landmark and testament to the town’s medieval past, or explore several galleries and workshops that celebrate the creativity of local artists.

The TV was fixed to the wall at a VERY high level, giving people a stiff neck having looking up so high. I hope this is something the owners feel comfortable in doing.
