The Holiday Home: About Tubbs Delight
Layout of the Accommodation:
Tubbs Delight sleeps 4 adults and 2 children with 3 bedrooms (one master bedroom with a double bed, one twin bedroom and one bedroom with bunk beds (best suited for children)). Using the sofa bed the property can sleep 5/6 adults and 2 children.
Outside the generous patio and decked area is a wonderful place to soak up those wonderful panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. Listen to the birds singing and watch cows and sheep grazing in the distance. On clear days you can even see Dartmoor in the distance. The garden is ideal for soaking up the sun, for the kids to play out on the lawn or for enjoying cool drinks on the patio or dining al fresco in the evening (an outdoor BBQ is provided). This area is also where you will find the fabulous 4 person spa pool/hot tub (additional charge for use) where you can truly relax and do a spot of star gazing at night. The terraced south-facing enclosed garden is a sun-trap year round.
