Escape to the Countryside

I've just returned from a mini-escape down to Devon.  I haven't travelled down to this part of England since I was too young to appreciate it, and wow, what an amazing place.

We stayed at a hotel called The Three Crowns in Chagford on the edge of Dartmoor and I couldn't recommend it enough.  The perfect blend of rustic comfort and stylish class, with friendly staff and a chef who cooks up the tastiest of cuisine.

We spent four blissful days trekking the moors, climbing up waterfalls in our wellies, driving down narrow country lanes and having cream tea by the sea in Salcombe.  We were lucky with the weather..crisp cold air and brilliant sunshine. 

You just can't beat a break away in the English countryside; all you need is good company and a trusty cagoul and wellies in the car boot...
