Dog Friendly Dartmoor Holiday Cottages

What our customers say about their holidays

  Post Box Cottage, a beautiful, quirky and cosy cottage in the depths of Dartmoor, which means narrow roads, beautiful walks and stunning scenery close by.

  The cottage is well equipped and welcoming, the kitchen serves its purpose with everything close to hand, the dining area is tastefully furnished and the lounge perfect, no doubt in the colder months the log burner will help provide that little extra touch of cosiness. When you climb the steep curved staircase you are greeted by a modern and spacious landing converted to a luxurious bathroom, there is a large shower and inviting bath. The adjacent bedroom is spacious and the king size bed comfortable. We were the first guests at Post Box cottage and enjoyed our stay, our two four legged friends loved the long walks but struggled with the short late evening dark walk for convenience purposes. There is courtyard parking adjacent to the cottage but access is difficult and quite steep particularly if you have a low car. There is additional parking close by but this can also be a challenge. Thank you John, We look forward to returning to this happy place, IMYHC

  The house was very spacious and clean.

  The fudge and cookies were a lovely surprise and were soon devoured!! Bed was comfortable and agree with a previous comment, would benefit from some drawers. Two things stopped me from giving it 5 stars... Upon arrival, we found a key in the key safe, which was for the yale lock on front door, had been snapped in half and just left. We could still lock the door by using the mortice lock but, had the yale catch dropped, would have been stuck. Secondly, although there was a small enclosed garden, there was no direct access from the house. You have to leave the house, walk around the side and enter the garden via a gate. This is not made clear in the description and was very inconvenient when our dog wanted to go out, especially thru the night. There is a torch on the lower level but did not work due to flat batteries!! These things are small but did have a negative impact on our holiday. Would definitely recommend the cottage but not to those taking a dog.

  This property is a hidden gem in a fantastic location just as you enter the Dartmoor National Park.

  The views are out of this world and you truly feel like you are completely isolated from the rest of the world which is exactly what we had hoped for. There was bags of space for our group with all bedrooms being more than sufficient in size, a games room, a large lounge area and the enormous kitchen was suitably well equipped. The gardens were fantastic for our young people to explore aged 6-8. There it's lots to do and see locally and we enjoyed walks to Chagford and Sandy Park, a walk from Castle Drogo to Dewsteignton and Fingle Bridge. A little further afield we travelled to Dartmeet and Spitchwick for a picnic and kayaking, Dartmouth for some crab fishing and Saunton Sands Beach on separate days. There is so much to do from Sandsgate and we look forward to hopefully returning again one day.

  Superbly equipped house with stupendous views in a wonderful setting.

  We were a family of 8 adults and five children aged from15 months to 6 years. Huge selection of games and toys was most welcome and helpful. The stair-gates were a little wobbly and a helpful addition would be some kind of barrier or gate at the bottom of the main stairs. The choice and number of kitchen utensils and cookware was amazing but perhaps more space could be made available for groceries. We all loved our stay at Sandsgate and the house really made our holiday a truly wonderful experience enjoyed by all of us, especially the children. Thank you for providing such excellent accommodation, gardens and views. We cannot recommend Sandsgate highly enough as a destination for a family holiday and/or reunion.

  Very nice home with a responsive owner, spacious, good practical layout, great location.

  Everything provided to make this a comfortable stay. Comfy beds, quality induction hob and useful to have the small freezer inside fridge although it could do with defrosting. Good amount of seating and nice size dining table. Downstairs shower very decent upstairs needs a replacement shower head holder as it’s cracked so the shower attachment doesn’t stay in place. Also needs a lightbulb replaced in the downstairs bathroom. These are just small things and didn’t affect the enjoyment of our stay - just letting you know. It was a nice bonus with the piano, smart tv and DVD player. Also thank you for the fudge and biscuits - would definitely stay again.
