The lodge is a very comfortable and warm place in a quiet village. Equipped with everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. Liz, the owner, was more than helpful to make sure we were happy. It's a great base to explore Dartmoor and the surrounding area. We would like to return another time maybe in the summer to make use of the garden.

The living / dining area was very much larger than we have found before and the two bedrooms were also of a very good size. All the furniture was comfortable and there was every item of kitchen equipment one could wish. The outdoor area was good too and with three separateRead more sitting areas and a fully enclosed garden ( ideal for dogs) there was nothing more I could wish.

If you are looking for a place to stay with your dog and to explore Dartmoor, the cottage is in a great location. It has a nice and secured fenced garden. The beds were very comfortable, the smart TV definitely a plus. The main bathroom is tiny, but has a good sized and well functioning shower in it. A lovely welcome plate with scones, jam, clottedRead more cream, juice & milk was there when we arrived. If you aren't too picky when it comes to cleanliness, it's perfect.
