Belstone : Little high village (good food pub, church, village green) on the very edge of the open moor, brilliant base for walking Dartmoor's highest hills and wildest valleys. Okehampton (small town, golf, tennis, heated swimming pool), 3 miles; Chagford, 8; the sea/sand/surf at Bude, about 30. Riding/pony trekking locally. ... the perfect escape: private drive off a lane on the outskirts of Belstone leads to a rose-covered, detached, thatched, medieval, Grade II listed single-storey Devon longhouse 100 yards from the open moor, all beautifully presented. Small, flower-filled front garden and, behind, a larger, sheltered, mainly lawned garden (table/chairs). The cottage has been marvellously restored with great flair, unspoilt yet exceptionally comfy and 21st cent. Small porch into flagstoned hall (tumble drier); 2 steps up to very special living/dining room with huge oak beamed ceiling, massive granite fireplace (woodburner), original granite flagstoned floor with rugs, comfy sofas, good paintings, radio/cassette player, window seats: a room to dream in. Small fitted kitchen (microwave); shower-room (suite). Two bedrooms - double with 5' four-poster, one small with full-size bunk beds. Excellent fabrics, linen, all good quality. No children under 12, except pre-crawling babies. No smoking.
