The Nest

From your own, private terrace you can enjoy the fabulous views of the South Hams countryside and Dartmoor. Watch the most extraordinarily beautiful sunsets followed by an explosion of colour across the sky. As the night sets in, enjoy a glass of wine whilst wrapped up in a fleece throw provided and simply stargaze to the sound of owls hooting. Our pretty timber cabin is situated in a private location surrounded by fields but only a stone's throw from the heritage market town of Modbury. The cabin has two cosy bedrooms furnished with crisp cotton bed linen and with thick, fluffy white towels. One bedroom has a 4'6" double and en suite shower and wc and there is a separate bathroom. The second bedroom has a 5' zip and link king size divan that can be split to make two small 2'6" singles. The light and airy living room has comfortable sofas and is equipped with free Wi-Fi, smart enabled TV/DVD player, Roberts digital radio, board games, books and a selection of DVDs for you to enjoy. The well equipped kitchen has a washer dryer machine, dishwasher, double oven, hob and a fridge freezer. There is a kettle, toaster and Nespresso coffee machine for your use. Olive oil and a selection of herbs are provided and enough muesli, milk, coffee and tea to get you started. French windows open from the dining area and take you to the decked terrace which has table and chairs and a electric barbecue grill.. The cabin has central heating making it perfect for use all year round. The Nest is on a farm property so there is plenty of parking available. We live in the farmhouse so are available most of the time if required. We have lived in the South Hams for more than 40 years so can advise you of the best places to visit or to eat out. However, the cabin is very private and we shall leave you in peace unless you need us! The Nest at Little Sheepham, is perfectly situated equidistant between the fabulous South Devon coast and glorious Dartmoor so for those of you who find it difficult to decide whether to go for a country holiday or a coastal holiday, this is perfect; you can have both! Our pretty local town of Modbury has a Co-op, butchers and delicatessen and is a lovely place to wander and explore the interesting shops, galleries, cafes and pubs. Treat yourself to coffee and cake at one of the cafes or visit the ancient Exeter Inn for lunch. Spend time at our favourite beach ( 15 minutes away) at the entrance to the Erme Estuary, part of the Flete Estate where parts of the films Sense and Sensibility and International Velvet were filmed. Bantham and Bigbury Beaches are 20 minutes away. The beautiful coastal town of Dartmouth is only 25 minutes drive away. It is easy to spend at least a day looking around the eclectic collection of shops or taking a boat trip up the River Dart to Dittisham or as far as Totnes. Dartmouth has some great restaurants and pubs. The pretty harbour town of Salcombe is a mere 20 minutes drive. If the sun is shining, take the passenger ferry across to Mill bay beach. Totnes makes for an interesting day's shopping in particular on Fridays when there is a colourful market in the morning. There are some wonderful coastal walks locally, some in particular offer the opportunity for a circular walk with a lunch stop at a pub! Take a trip onto Dartmoor and enjoy the wilderness but drive carefully as the native ponies, sheep and cattle roam freely. There are some amazing walks on the moor for all abilities from a short gentle stroll to a decent day's hike. There are some lovely villages to visit on the moors and some great cafes, farm shops and pubs to grab refreshments. We are only 10 minutes from the A38, making us not only easy to get to but also making a day trip to Exeter or a lunch at Rick Stein's in Padstow, Cornwall a real possibility. We are in a rural area so a car is the best way in which to enjoy all that the area has to offer. The closest railway stations are Totnes and Plymouth. We are about 10-15 minutes walk from Modbury where buses run westward to Plymouth and eastward to Kingsbridge and on to Dartmouth.
