This is a nice little annex on the outskirts of a pretty hamlet, with good access to main roads. It was ideal for one person, comfortable and quite well equipped.

Although just off the A38, this cottage is quiet and very convenient for visiting the surrounding area. The bed is very comfortable and the property was very clean and well maintained. The garden area is a pretty bonus.

The owner is friendly and helpful. Well presented, tidy and clean property. Wet room shower is good for those who like them. Location in general is excellent for access to Dartmoor and the South Hams. In particular we found the lack of any distant view from the living room rather limiting, and the proximity of huge, derelict glasshouses is not veryRead more cheerful. We were not disturbed by the proximity of the A38. Hide
