About this property
Coach House is a pleasing annex in Highampton, Devon, offering single-storey living, off-road parking for one car with EV charging, and a lawned garden for guests travelling with a dog. Arrive and step into a holiday space designed for slow mornings and easy evenings. The single-storey layout makes everything feel wonderfully simple from the moment you unpack, with the kitchen ready for laid-back self-catering and the living/dining room creating a natural place to settle after a day out. Start the day with tea and toast before planning where the road might take you, then return later to prepare supper with the electric hob and air fryer/combi oven while the room fills with the inviting scents of dinner.
The living area offers a relaxed dining setting, chatting over a second cup of something warm, or stretching out in front of the Smart TV as the evening draws in. When it is time to turn in, the double bedroom offers a neat and inviting space to end the day, while the shower room with its walk-in shower is well placed for freshening up before heading out again the following morning. Outside, the lawned garden adds another lovely spot to pause, whether that means letting your dog nose about in the fresh air or taking a moment with a drink before the next outing begins.
The local well stocked Brickyard Farm Shop is just under three miles away and Hatherleigh is short drive offering a Co-op, farm shop and pubs, so the practical side of your stay is refreshingly straightforward. From Highampton, venture to Okehampton, where Dartmoor National Park opens up miles of walking routes, with highlights including Okehampton Castle and Meldon Reservoir, ideal for scenic strolls and photography. Close by is The Ruby Way a scenic walking, cycling and horse-riding trail through the heart of Ruby Country. Just a few miles away is Anglers Paradise offering over 30 well-stocked lakes set within 250 acres of beautiful countryside.
Head towards Bude on the North Devon coast, where Summerleaze Beach offers wide sands and the sea pool for a refreshing dip, while the South West Coast Path provides dramatic clifftop walks with far-reaching views. For a different pace, explore Tavistock, a historic market town on the edge of Dartmoor, home to Tavistock Pannier Market and the beautiful grounds of Tavistock Abbey. Whether you're drawn to wild moorland, coastal air, or heritage-rich towns, the surrounding area offers variety at every turn, making Coach House a well-placed base for discovering Devon.
Blaenavon is a quaint Welsh town, resting at the foothills of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Set on the banks of Afon Lwyd, this historical town offers an idyllic base for touring southeast Wales, with luscious green landscapes and imposing 18th century Iron Works as your backdrop. There are an abundance of scenic walking and cycling routes right on your doorstep, and charming pubs, well-established restaurants and handy convenience stores can be found dotted in and around the town, together providing all the essential amenities for any self-catering stay. Abergavenny and the town of Merthyr Tydfil lie just a stone's throw away, whilst wonderful days out await you in Cwmbran and the port city of Newport. The town also provides easy access to the thriving city of Cardiff with attractions such as Castell Coch, St Fagans National Museum of History and Cardiff Castle to be explored. A splendid choice for an unforgettable holiday in Wales.
