The property was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. The owners were very helpful in sorting out the parking permit for our short break in Buckfastleigh.

We loved our stay at Lavender Cottage in the beautiful and friendly town of Buckfastleigh. The cottage was extremely clean, well decorated had most everything we needed for our stay. It is also close to the Coop with its extended hours, so we cpuld easily pick up supplies. We enjoyed a few walks, including one up the 196 steps and over the the Abbey in Buckfast.

We loved our stay here. The house was exceptionally clean and well equipped for cooking, for washing and drying clothes and settling in away from home. The location was perfect for me - I was doors away from the Moor Imagination Centre where I was taking part in a 3 day course. The Co-op was nearby, the close by fish n chips shop makes fab food and the MIC has a café on Fridays, making incredible vegetarian and vegan food with locally sourced ingredients. The only thing I missed was a minor detail - a tea strainer ☺️
