I stayed down here once:

Was nice, if I recall (although the absence of children may have been the chief attraction). Nice walking round that coast, if walking is your thing.

Fantastic B&B in Buckfastleigh. The Globe Inn. Really good food, lovely old pub, good beer, lovely people, lots of things to do locally.

sounds good... and enjoyable without a car? hold on, is it where Buckfast Abbey is?!!

 

[Mrs Magpie]

A mile or so away from Buckfast Abbey. We don't have a car. We love it there.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

You can get a bus there from Newton Abbot (we left a grim hotel in Newton Abbot that smelled of dead mice because the B&B was the better bet) and there are loads of things within a short walk in Buckfastleigh.

 

[rutabowa]

thank you for the recommendation! I am into that idea... hopefully it's not fully booked.

Do you know my wife?

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I do, but I've never seen her in the company of otters or butterflies so I'm not sure how I'm meant to react.....
