The unique and historic Sunday school conversion of The Old Sunday School House enjoys the peaceful backdrop of Bratton Clovelly, Devon. The perfect setting for a family of six who want to experience the delights of Devon, The Old Sunday School House rest moments away from the enchanting Dartmoor National Park and Tamar Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property enjoys on-street parking, where you can leave your car before admiring its charming exterior and surroundings. Wander inside to come across a spacious sitting room, where exposed beams accent the ceiling and two sofas offer a space to unwind in front of the Smart TV; why not pop open a bottle of fizz, courtesy of the owner? The budding chef of the group will have a ball, whisking up culinary delights in the farmhouse-style kitchen, a space offering a fantastic range of appliances, including a handy washing machine and dishwasher.
When dinner is ready, enjoy it around the dining table, where some of the group can grab a seat on the original, church bench, a lovely nod to the property's history. Ascend the stairs to find three well-appointed bedrooms to rest in, one being a super-king-size, another being a double and the other a twin; all of the rooms enjoy delightsome views over Dartmoor National Park and rest near the family bathroom. On warmer days, sit out in the rear courtyard and soak up those captivating views of the country. Get to know your surroundings and pay a visit to the friendly pub, the Clovelly Inn, or head to one of the farm shops in the area, including the renowned Strawberry Fields shop in Lifton; why not visit the nearby lake of Roadford and partake in some watersports with the lake's activity centre? Bridestowe also isn't far, a riverside village offering access to a pub and village shop; your amenities are easily reached!
Be sure to visit Okehampton, home to the Granite Way, for those keen cyclists of the group, along with walks along the Ball Hill Viaduct and the intriguing Museum of Dartmoor Life. Maybe a day out in Launceston is more to your fancy; where the Steam Railway, the National Trust property of Launceston House and English Heritage's Launceston Castle can be enjoyed. Spend some time in Tavistock, with its easy access to the Tamar Valley AONB and Dartmoor National Park; there is lots of fun waiting to be had here! A magnificent break for all awaits at The Old Sunday School.

Very clean and tidy, done out to a high standard. Comfy beds, kitchen is great with quality equipment (only salt and pepper provided, so take supplies!) Lovely quiet location, peaceful village. Tea, coffee and sugar sachets provided, milk would have been nice as there is no shop.

It was a great find on a last-minute holiday search. Okehampton Castle is well worth a visit, as is Lydford, National Trust Gorge and Waterfall - plus an old prison and quaint pub are located in the village. The more adventurous of us walked to Wistman's Wood (ancient woodland) on Dartmoor. Visited North Cornwall for bodyboarding and Bude for the sea pool. Thanks for the thoughtful welcome pack, they were devoured on arrival! The only thing missing that would have been useful was a pair of kitchen scissors, a very minor point as everything else was spot on. Mark, Debbie, James, Gabrielle, Lucy + Jess the dog. P.S. Found the scissors on the last day! Sorry.
