Lovely self-catering apartment right by the river Dart. Swim before breakfast! Such a relaxing spot, trees, river. Dartmoor and the sea within easy reach.
A self-catering annexe apartment for two, within easy walking distance of the train. You can take a bike, hire a canoe, or visit the alternative and wacky town of Totnes where Riverford Farm foods originated. Everything is organic and green. Little riverside allows you to go for a wild swim in the river right outside the door! Hire a canoe and go shopping down the river or to the pub. Great cafes and pub grub.
Near the sea and near the moors - fantastic situation for everything. Great carbon-free getaway for two.

If you're in Devon get into Totnes and enjoy the river Dart, Vire Island, the Town Museum, the Costume Museum in Bogan house. Then, if it's Friday or Saturday, you can enjoy the town market too. After that go on right up through the Narrows to the top of town and you'll find the Bay Horse Inn - lovely food, real beer, a warm atmosphere with a nice garden at the back - and local folk music on Tuesday nights, very good jazz evenings - at no extra charge! You can stay the night there too. A great place to be on your holiday!
The Bay Horse is in Cistern Street, by the Rotherfold, at the end of The Narrows, on your right going uphill.
Totnes station is on the main Paddington to Plymouth line. The whole town is within easy walking distance of the station.
Totnes holds Christmas markets every Tuesday in December which are a major attraction for locals and tourists alike. Totnes itself is a lovely and crazy town on the river Dart which organises this fab market. Being a very creative town the stalls and shops range from individual quirky individual stall holders and just as individual shops. The whole experience is wonderful with shopping, live music, dance, fab food and drinks. Start off at the bottom of the hill any time after six and work your way up towards the castle, stopping for regular refreshment stops. It puts any other late night shopping to shame!
