In the Area
Perfectly positioned for days immersed in city, culture and coast, Bluebell is an idyllic bolthole for the dreamers and the explorers. Just a short drive away, the cathedral city of Exeter can be easily reached and offers a wealth of beautiful streets to explore, each lined with boutiques, shops and eateries for your perusal. Heading south, a journey away from Exeter leads you to Dartmoor National Park, where sprawling moorland, granite tors and free-roaming moorland ponies await to take your breath away. For historic houses and manicured grounds, visit the National Trust's Killerton near Exeter, Castle Drogo in Drewsteignton, or for wild walks, head to Haytor, Bellever Wood and Chagford in Dartmoor. The iconic Fingle Bridge is also well worth visiting, and is only a short distance from Bluebell by car.
If you are looking forward to leisurely bike rides through jaw-dropping countryside, The Granite Way runs close to Bluebell. A gloriously flat, mostly traffic-free cycle route through rural Devon, this eleven-mile multi-use trail boasts some of the most incredible views in the county. Once you're ready to reward your efforts and dine in style, head to Gidleigh Park in Chagford, Lympstone Manor in Lympstone or The Elephant in Torquay for Michelin star cuisine. For wholesome classics, The Traveller's Rest is less than a mile from your doorstep, while in Exeter, a host of fabulous cocktail bars and eateries promise culinary excellence, including The Ivy and Calvo Loco Tapas Bar. In summer, an alfresco meal on the floating River Exe Café is a must.
