Location was amazing and very peaceful without feeling isolated, very important to me as a single traveller. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge for relaxing in the evening, super bed and bedroom with plenty of hanging space and storage, small but definately well equipped bathroom. Ideal for either a single traveller or a couple.

Very relaxed stay in comfy, homely, well equipped, quiet holiday cottage. Appealing quirkily shaped building, with a pleasant, sun-trap patio with views of Dartmoor. Easy parking right outside the cottage. Excellent location close to the lovely town of Tavistock with all its facilities on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. Also within a day trips Read morereach of the south Devon coast. Would definitely recommend. Hide
