About the host

Hosted by Samantha and Alex Salmon

Host profile image
We moved to Ashton Court in August 2014 with our two daughters and feel very much at home in our house and in the Holne village. Our daughters love to play in the garden and bicycle over the quiet small lanes. Samantha is Dutch, and lives in England for over ten years. Alex was raised in London and both we enjoy very much the country live in Devon. From our home and garden we enjoy the Moor views every day in all kinds of weather and enjoy family walks over the Moor and having lunch in one of the cosy Moor pubs/ restaurants. We very much like being part of the Holne village and it gives us a real community feeling. Our daughters love to play in the playpark down the lane or cycle to the village shop to get some groceries. Also kite flying in the summer is a great event.

We very much welcome dogs at the Walkers Retreat. One dog will be free of charge and for more dogs we charge £10 per stay.

We are happy to provide information over the area and will do their utmost to make your stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. Please do not hesitate to contact us in case you have any questions.

Why they chose this property

We totally fell in love with the wonderful view over the valley and the moor. We are on the edge of the village Holne which makes the garden and surroundings very tranquil but we are still part of a lovely village and the community shop, tearoom, and Church House Inn pub or Tradesmans Arms pub are close by.

What makes this property unique

Stunning views and surrounded by beautiful gardens with facilities of Holne village within easy walking distance. The Walkers Retreat holiday let has its private entrance and own parking within the grounds of Ashton Court. Walks to the Moor or River Dart can be easily made from the property.
