A lovely comfortable and relaxing place to stay. It was so peaceful, and the seat at the end of the garden had gorgeous scenic views. And the bed was so comfortable. It was the ideal location for exploring Dartmoor.

De gastheer en gastvrouw waren zeer vriendelijk. Alles is aanwezig om een heerlijke wandelvakantie te hebben. Een mooie tuin die ook op hete dagen verkoeling brengt. Tussendoor een leuk babbeltje met David, een heel rustige en ontspannende omgeving, super!!!

If youre like us and usually dont book when the accommodation is in the owners garden, youre going to miss out. Terrific little lodge, lovely owners. VERY comfortable bed. Great location, lovely views. We really liked it ( can you tell?) . Took us 8 hours to get there, but its worth it

This is a beautifully situated little lodge with a cozy feel to it. Well equipped and bed was large and comfy. The view from the sitting area was the best part of the stay. The owners David and Wendy were welcoming and helpful. Had a lovely break at the edge of Dartmoor or Cornwall .

We had a wonderful holiday and the cottage is perfect. Very comfortable and good location with easy access to good pubs and walks on Dartmoor. The large garden has a bench where you can sit and watch the sun go down or just watch the horses in the neighbouring field. The owners are very welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be returning.
