The Lily Pad is a delightful ground floor four star holiday home, located within a large Victorian house that sits on the edge of the moorland town of Okehampton, just off the main A30. It has a sunny secure front garden that is pretty in the warmer months with plants, roses and herbs. There is also a pretty little courtyard at the back where guests can enjoy a romantic and private alfresco meal and guests may have the use of a hot tub privately.

Beautifully refurbished, The Lily pad perfectly combines the traditional style of a Victorian home with modern living and comforts, including a stylish kitchen and large shower room. It sits in the privacy of the large Victorian garden beside a leafy lane, with a lovely flat walk to the river which winds its way gently up onto Dartmoor.

Conveniently located, The Lily pad is just a four minute walk up onto the moor and an eight minute walk from the town centre with its intimate cinema, Waitrose, choice of pubs and restaurants and shops including a quality butcher and bakers. There are also three great antique shops, the Museum of Rural Crafts, two golf courses, mountain bike courses through the woods, the granite way cycle path (with bike hire), The Arts Gallery full of locally sourced quality arts and crafts and the medieval castle just outside the town.

Okehampton is centrally located in Devon and provides a perfect base from which to explore both the north and south coasts. It is ideal for visiting the many attractions that both Devon and Cornwall have to offer including The Eden Project which is only a one hour drive away. This is an ideal holiday destination for walkers, bird watchers, cyclists and all those who love the countryside with the benefit of all the conveniences that a small town has to offer.
