OVERTON HOUSE OVERVIEW

Spoil yourself in this high quality holiday accommodation with hot tub (£110 to hire) and spectacular views over the Taw Valley. Enjoying a peaceful, elevated position, in beautiful rural surroundings, this lovely home is only ½ mile from the pretty riverside village of Bishops Tawton. This pet-friendly period house has recently been completely refurbished to a very comfortable standard, with oil-fired central heating and double-glazing throughout. Accommodation is tastefully finished to a high standard, whilst retaining some attractive original features.

A walk up Codden Hill (adjacent to Overton House) is a must. Choose either the tough uphill routes for the energetic or the gentler paths for the not so energetic. Either way, you will reach the monument at the highest point with the most breath taking views stretching for miles.
