  • Pam

    Very well appointed, comfortable and clean. A great location for independent shops and getting onto Dartmoor.

  • Janine

    It is fully equipped for a comfortable stay. We had a thoroughly relaxing week & is the perfect base to explore the area. Highly recommended & can’t wait to go back!

  • Lucy

    The whole family enjoyed their stay. The house is comfortable and well equipped with everything you could need. My only criticism is the very late check in of 6pm. Other than that I can’t think of anything negative.
