Lovely warm cottage, ideal as a base for exploring South Devon and Dartmoor. Huge, comfy bed. Lots of hot water for a bath or shower. Great utility room for storing walking gear. Well equipped kitchen with everything needed to make meals. Friendly, helpful owners next door with two gorgeous spaniels. We would definitely return!

This is our 2nd holiday at the cottage and would definitely go again, it is in an ideal location with a short drive to the coastline and forestry areas especially ideal if you have dogs. The garden within the cottage grounds are amazing, loads of room for dogs to run and play without coming in contact with the main roads.

The garden was stunning & it was lovely o be able to use it, our dog loved it too. It was down a narrow lane however we got used to that! It was in a good position for travellinRead moreg out to different placed just be cautious about using your Sat Nav as it had a tendency to send us down f=very narrow lanes! Hide

Very comfortable cottage. Close to A38 for travelling around the area. Lovely house with massive garden which is shared by the owners and their dogs. A little stream running through. Two bedrooms with comfy beds and upstairs and downstairs bathrooms which is useful. Carol and David gave us a nice welcome and were available if needed.
