• A Warm Local Welcome: Mid Devon is incredibly welcoming and industrious without feeling industrial. As our Scottish owner delights in pointing out (without a single hint of irony!), the locals have a wonderfully unique regional accent that makes you feel instantly at home.

Should you wish to venture further out from your Devon holiday home, you are within easy reach of top-tier culture, sport, and coastal day trips:

Alternatively, enjoy an authentic, nostalgic afternoon out at Exeter City Football Club, showcasing football as a passionate community sport.
