Okehampton Devon

A traditional Devon market town nestling in the northern foothills of Dartmoor, Okehampton is a great place for the outdoor enthusiast. There are cafés, takeaways and restaurants in the town centre with a super park.

Known as the walking centre of Devon, visitors can discover the wild side of Dartmoor on foot or explore forgotten villages by bike. Then there’s riding, swimming, fishing and golf. For the less active there is a Victorian shopping arcade, Red Lion Yard, a museum, cinema, a beautiful park for picnics and the second oldest Norman Castle in the county.

To the north of the town are Dartmoor’s two highest peaks (High Willhays and Yes Tor) and access to Dartmoor via Okehampton Camp (a military training base).

There is an Edwardian evening in December, and a farmers market on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month.

This property has to be the nicest B&B I have stayed in ever, throughout my UK and European travels. Jane kept in touch right up to check in, she gave us the most lovely welcome and the property was outstanding, very clean and bring with a really nice style and feel. The dining room was amazing along with the scenery and gardens with summer house and endless views. The breakfast was perfect, the bed and room was extremely comfortable and welcoming. Complimentary tea, coffee and fudge was so lovely. I would definitely recommend this B&B to anyone and I will definitely be staying in touch with Jane for any further travel in the south when I need a place to stay.
