Getting to Devon by rail

Devon is part of the national rail network and you can arrange to arrive at either Exeter St David’s or Okehampton station, taking in the sights and scenery of the beautiful Devon countryside along the way. Upon your arrival we’ll transfer you to your accommodation and take you to and from the river for each day of your stay.
