A spacious family home in South West England, near Dartmoor, the coast and more!
Our spacious, modern family home is situated in the historic town of Tavistock in Devon, South West England, at the western edge of the beautiful Dartmoor National Park.
Built 16 years ago, it has four spacious double bedrooms, with the master bedroom having an ensuite shower room and lovely views of the garden (we get the early-morning sun shining in). The family bathroom is next to the double bedroom at the other end of the hallway, also overlooking the rear garden.
Downstairs we have a large family room with the kitchen at one end where we spend most of our time as a family and with friends. There is a large fridge/freezer and plenty of storage space, with the dining table and a (surprisingly comfortable) king-sized sofa-bed at the far end, which can also be used to sleep on.
There is a log-burning stove in the lounge (and plenty of logs supplied, should you need them), with satellite television (Netflix, Disney +, Amazon Prime) and a 55inch TV, lots of DVDs and plenty of comfy sofas to watch them from. Through double doors you reach the play room, which is filled with Lego, art equipment a PS5, and lots of other toys and games. We also have a downstairs WC, and a separate utility room with additional fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer
Outside we have a large garden, several patio areas around the house with comfortable seating (including sofas, dining set, lounging chairs and chimera), private driveway which can accommodate three cars easily and a double garage. There is also a basket ball hoop, with bikes, games and sporting equipment in the garage.
Tavistock attracts walkers, cyclists, nature-lovers, and tourists from around the world who enjoy its charming shops, including a world-famous pannier market, and ease of access to Dartmoor and the fabulous coastline of Devon and Cornwall. There are many excellent beaches within an hour's drive, with the historic naval port of Plymouth around 25 minutes awayby car. We are a five-minute stroll from the town centre of Tavistock, and within a short walk from the edge of Dartmoor. Just up the road is Tavistock's stunning 18-hole moorland golf course, with the town's picturesque park and play area, tennis courts and swimming pool nearby.
We are Mike (university lecturer and sports journalist), Louise (university counsellor) and our teenage children Ella and James and we love living here: whether we choose to relax in the garden to enjoy the peace, head off for one of our favourite walks on Dartmoor, or spend a day at the beach. Tavistock is an excellent base from which to explore all of Devon and Cornwall for families, couples or a combination of both.

Circa la nostra famiglia
We love where we live, and exploring the outdoors, especially Dartmoor and the coastline of Devon and Cornwall. Ella is 18, has red hair and loves spending time with her friends, and the cats that joined our family in 2016. James is a 14-year-old who loves sports and gaming on his PS5, while Mike also loves sports (mainly playing tennis these days) and cooking, and Louise enjoys reading and spending time with her lovely family!
Stile di vita
We love to walk on Dartmoor, swim in the sea, and explore all the wonderful places near our home. Our current mission is trying to visit every Tor on Dartmoor, so far we have conquered 112 of them!

BE1013544We had a lovely exchange with this lovely family. Even though we didn't know the family (well), we felt we had some sort of connection with them. Their communication is impeccable. They are very friendly and helpful. The perfect family to exchange with!
The house was fantastic and so was the area. It has become our favourite part of England. The house is very neat, cosy, big... everything we wished for. We felt like home straight away.
We really hope to stay in touch and exchange houses again in the future!

ES2519La familia tiene mucha experiencia con los intercambios, lo que ha facilitado mucho todo el proceso.
Todo ha sido muy fácil con ellos, perfectamente organizado y el intercambio ha sido impecable.
La casa es una preciosidad y confirma y supera con creces las imágenes que se muestran en Intervac. Una casa muy cuidada, grande, con jardines y espacios muy muy acogedores.
El pueblo donde se ubica la casa es pequeño pero tiene todo lo necesario para pasar unas estupendas vacaciones. La zona en Devocional, perfecto para hacer excursiones a otros lugares, tanto de interior como de costa.

Very large, thoughtfully done, quality house equiped with everything you’d need away from home. A really warm home from home and very beautiful.
Beautiful scenery Dartmoor, amazing south and west coast within a short drive from this house…We could not ask for a better Home Exchange !
Louise and her family are exceptional in kindness, and hospitality, provided by a amazing family in a great location !
England never bores us…The pubs, the villages, the atmosphere, the nature, cozy seaside resorts. It tastes like more !
We look forward visiting Tavistock for a second holiday. A second exchange❤️
Warm regards to your husband Mike, your children Ella and James , and your sweet cats Boboo, and Snuggle.
