Drive off the road to our home, the Shire, set in the beautiful small collection of houses, made from the former barns of the Fallapit Estate. Listen at night for owls and look out for bats! The Shire, as bifits its name, is part built into a slope. After walking up the long path to the front entrance, what looks like a cute stone cottage from the outside opens into a considerably larger space inside. The garden doesn't really stop at our rather generous private garden howevevr - we share the communal wider gardens and area of Fallapit with our neighbours. Beyond those gardens, Fallapit estate with its lake to the barn side falls one way, whilst open countryside, fields, lanes and walkways lie in the other directions. This is a place to let the rest of the world be. There is a nice pub in the village of East Allington which you can approach by a lovely walk (about 1m). If you want to go further afield, we are set within what we believe to be one of the most beautiful and magical places in the world, both for its interesting and varied coast and its interesting and varied countryside. Unusual features for somewhere quite so rural is all the culture and arts, both in this part of Devon and a little further afield in Cornwall. Whether it's dancing all night, contemporary dance, classical music, theatre or alternative living - you can find it all (and much more besides) nearby. We hope you have a lovely time relaxing and exploring, and feel sure you will return again and again. Pleaae use the trampoline, outdoor dining table, and gardens to front and back of the property, the beautiful walks on our doorstep, and the shared facilities including the tennis court. There will be people nearby to help if needed and we will be available by phone. Although you can access our place by bus from Totnes (where there is a train station) or Kingsbridge, you will need a car or be a keen cyclist for shops or to go further afield than the delights offered within walking diatance. The village of East Allington l, with the Fortescue Arms pub and village community shop are a very pleasant walk (about 1.2 km) by a small lake, country house and up a woody lane
