About the host

Hosted by Robin

Host profile image
We bought the Old School House when our youngest daughter was 10. She and her friends enjoyed many happy summers sailing and crabbing. Now our kids come with their friends, and our grandchildren! We love the walks from the house along the river Avon, and easy access to the coast and to Dartmoor.

Why they chose this property

The house feels warm all the year round- and comfortable rain or shine, whether you are a couple or a larger group, The village is friendly, the atmosphere VERY relaxed.

What makes this property unique

Wood burning fires, cosy kitchen, 3 centuries of history: the local schoolmaster lived here. 20 mins to anywhere in the South hams!
