The driving around here is challenging with narrow lanes and lots of hills but that is what you have to do to enjoy Dartmoor. The holiday cottage is remote but if the school bus can make it and there's a pub even you can do it too! You have to take everything very slowly. A short journey takes twice as long as you expect with the A road single tracRead morek in places. But the scenery is amazing. Come and take the pace off your life and just chill.
