1 Shady CombeHoo MeavySelf catering holiday cottageDartmoor |
Shady Combe is an exceptional country cottage, one of a pair of Grade 2 listed miner's cottages that has been very tastefully restored and retaining much of its original charm and character, some of it dating back to the 16th Century. It sits in the hamlet of Hoo Meavy, part of an area of outstanding natural beauty on the edge of Dartmoor National Park and within easy walking distance of open moorland and the nearby village of Yelverton, which has excellent riding facilities. For climbing enthusiasts the famous outcrop at the Dewarstone is only a mile and for walkers or cyclists there are endless opportunites to explore this beautiful part of Dartmoor.
