Highdays and Hideaways

Crazy and wonderful that the centuries old tradition of Tar Barrel rolling in Ottery St Mary is still permitted. Only a 30 min drive from our cottages so perfect if you want to experience something different on Bonfire Night. There's a lively and friendly atmosphere, easy parking, plenty of food and drink stalls, plus a fun fair and bonfire. Such a great night!

When the evenings draw in, there’s nowhere cosier than by the fire, each of our cottages has one 🔥 🍷 #BlackdownHills, #CosyCottage, #AutumnStay

Dartmoor, less than an hours drive from us, is a paradise! Today’s walk took in waterfalls, far reaching views, a chilly dip in the river and a pint in one of our favourite pub gardens at The Tors Inn, Belstone, the views are spectacular. Definitely worth a visit if you come and stay here.

Sidmouth is around 30 mins from us. We made the most of the sunshine today and walked from there to Ladram Bay, had delicious coffee and cake and walked back then had a potter around the shops. A perfect Sunday in the sun.
