Explore the village of Blackawton. A friendly village with a community run shop and historic church. Blackawton hosts an annual worm charming festival in May which is fun for all the family, including the furry members of the family with a “for fun” dog show. Blackawton is also locally renowned for its terrific bonfire and fireworks night in November. Oakleigh is well situated for Dartmouths’ annual events, such as the music festival in May, the Royal Regatta in August, and comedy & food festivals in October. Explore Dartmouth's vibrant harbour, and delve into the town's rich history, or take a drive to Kingsbridge, a stunning estuary town with a range of shops, cafés, and restaurants to enjoy. Totnes is just a short drive away, a picturesque town with a fascinating past, meandering streets and ideally positioned within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Oakleigh is surrounded by beautiful countryside, wonderful beaches and 630 miles of breath-taking Southwest coastal paths. A short drive to the coast you will find popular beaches such as Blackpool Sands (an award-winning Blue Flag beach) and Slapton Sands (both shingle beaches) and Torcross. Bantham and Challaborough are renowned for watersport activities such as surfing, kayaking and windsurfing. Bigbury-on-Sea has a surf school and views over Burgh Island, where you can take the sea tractor at high tide, or walk across the sand bank at low tide and sit outside the Pilchard Inn with a cooling drink whilst taking in the wonderful views. A 25 minute drive will bring you to the border of Dartmoor National Park. This wild, open moorland with deep river valleys, a rich history, and rare wildlife is perfect for walking, horse-riding and rock climbing and has many seasonal guided tours. After a day of exploring, retreat to Oakleigh for a peaceful night's rest, creating unforgettable memories with loved ones in the heart of Devon.

What guests are saying
Lovely, well equipped house.
Very clean on arrival with lots of nice touches; milk, scones, cream & jam, along with dog biscuits for our 4 legged family member. Nice location with stunning views, village shop was well stocked for any essentials. We hope to stay again
We loved Oakleigh.
Beautiful views and house design made the best of these. Lots of open living space with wonderful design features, good quality comfy beds, warm , community shop next door and will have the community pub too soon! Lovely local children's playground and Woodlands a mile or so away were an added bonus.
Absolutely amazing that completely suited my family.
We were lost for words on arrival and the children were always happy in the environment throughout the week. The area generally was exceptional and trips to Dartmouth and the local fun parks made our holiday, quite simply we would love to book a holiday at Oakleigh next year-Yours sincerely A Smith
