Alex and Samantha have two young daughters. We moved to Holne in 2014 and we love it here. It's quiet and rural and we are surrounded by stunning nature and scenery. We love to play and explore in the garden and walk over to the village shop for an ice-cream. Also playing on the ancient rocks on Dartmoor or walking down to the wild river Dart at Hembury Woods are our favourite activities. In the summer we love to visit the beach, there are many choices and all within 40 to 50 minutes reach.
