Stares Nest Cottage - Self-catering in Devon
Stares Nest,
Holne, Newton Abbot, TQ13 7SL, Devon
England,
Reino Unido
The beams, the dimpled walls and the rug-strewn warmth of this moorland cottage will have you and the family feeling right at home from the moment you arrive. Jane, your host, grew up here and there’s a settled, friendly feel.
The sunny garden is wild and lush with views of the rolling hills, and your only neighbour is the historic church tower next door. Open a bottle of wine and throw open the kitchen doors as you cook on the big Rayburn range – while everyone socialises around the large table. Spend evenings around the fire playing board games.
The Two Moors Way, joining Exmoor and Dartmoor, runs right through the village. Head out on the challenging 15-mile stretch south to Ivybridge or try the scenic route north towards Hameldown, where the section known as Dr. Blackall’s Drive peaks high above the Dart Valley.

Local points of interest from Paula Kemp:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Paula Kemp:
- Holne is on the Two Moors Way, now extended from coast to coast. The walking in the area ranges from gentle strolls to something more taxing. Choose the rivers, National Trust woodlands or Dartmoor itself. Buckland Beacon has spectacular views.
- Historic stannary and wool towns are all nearby. Ashburton, Buckfastleigh, Totnes and Tavistock offer dining, markets, shopping and entertainment. Exeter and Plymouth are equidistant with a more cosmopolitan feel.
- The sea is approximately 40 minutes to the south coast/an hour and a half to North Cornwall. The Coast Path is stunning, well signposted and easily accessible. The Beach House at South Milton Sands is worth the trek. Hire kayaks, paddle/surf boards etc.
- Competitive cycling events often use our area on their routes, both on and off road. Bring your bike and find out why! You'll work off the cream teas. For bikers, the roads are great and the green lanes plentiful. 40 mph speed limits apply on the moor.
- The River Dart County Park, Woodlands, Splashdown Quaywest and Crealy theme parks let kids (of all ages) burn off energy. Buckfastleigh has indoor rock climbing, Teignmouth a sailing school, flying lessons at Dunkerswell, hot air ballooning too, or relax!
- There is something for everyone in the area, from archaeology to zoos, steam trains to kart racing, fish & chips to Michelin starred restaurants, leather working and cookery schools, independent shops, vineyards, boat trips and more. Find your own gems..
