About the host
Hosted by David and Georgina Tomkins
My husband David and I moved down to Higher Kellacott in 2017. We enjoy walking on Dartmoor, wild swimming, table tennis, cycling and body boarding. When not on the moors or working on our home, garden and fields, we enjoy family life, catching up with friends, listening to music, reading a good book, listening to the cricket and all things history. I also enjoy National Hunt horse racing. Cooking, home curing bacon and smoked salmon are also interests I pursue. David has been a beekeeper for 30 years and we now run our Nearly Home Honey & Beekeeping business from Higher Kellacott, with an apiary on one of our fields.
Why they chose this property
We love having access to Dartmoor and the wonderful North Devon and Cornwall coastline. Our quiet and remote position ensures we can enjoy the wonderful peace and tranquility that the area offers.
What makes this property unique
Higher Kellacott is situated in a tiny Devon hamlet, where you'll find a small handful of thatched cottages along a narrow country lane. Nestled in a beautiful stretch of Devonshire countryside with far-reaching views to Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor, as the property is in an elevated situation overlooking fields to the horizon. The extensive outside areas ensure you'll be basking in the sun from morning till sunset.
