The Daffodil Shed is a comfy cosy stay. We would venture that it is an ideal place for walkers / hikers as there are plenty of walks in and around the area. However transport is needed to get to many other attractions etc. Although there is a rail connection at Bere Alston and really handy for getting about. We ventured into Plymouth on the train, well worth the trip. Very convenient for Dartmoor and slipping over the border into Cornwall.

Comfortable, peaceful wigh a delightful garden, full of birds. We nearly cancelled our stay as my brother unexpectedly died in April and we were unsure of funeral dates. However, his funeral was held a week before our due date to arrive. Staying was the best decision; so peaceful, gave me time to think and relax. Thank you for your warm welcome and the lovely touches in the Daffodil Shed .
