- Two hours from London Paddington. Which makes it genuinely accessible from the capital.
Why It Makes Sense for Nomads
Devon in winter is underrated. The coast is dramatic, Dartmoor and Exmoor are close, and the county empties out after the summer holidays, which is exactly when this coliving runs.
Two hours by train from London is the practical detail. You can keep meetings in the capital while living on a Devon estate, which is a combination very few rural colivings in Britain can offer.
The owners living on site changes the character considerably. The 4.8 rating across 57 reviews reflects a hosted home rather than a managed property. Prices are inquiry-only on the site, so confirm your dates.
