The location is highly praised for its quietness, easy access to Dartmoor, and proximity to major roads. The peaceful views and local pub within walking distance are also appreciated.
The property is described as comfortable, with plenty of room, comfy beds, and a large garden for relaxation. However, some guests found the lounge seating challenging to rise from.

Enjoying a rural position in South Zeal, Devon is Moorstone, a fabulous, three-bedroom home. Enveloped by nature-filled walking and cycling trails, within the Dartmoor National Park, Moorstone offers a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, inviting six guests to enjoy the best of Devon. Park up on the sweeping, gated driveway, before heading indoors to your new abode. Start your break in the traditional yet well-equipped kitchen/diner, where the chef of the family can rustle up delicious meals, ready to gather around the dining table. If the weather allows, light the barbecue, and unwind upon the rear patio, nestled within your private, enclosed garden, bordered by mature shrubs and echoed by birdsong. End the evening by lighting the open fire and cosying up in front of the TV, before sloping off to sleep in one of the three double bedrooms on offer. Come morning, enjoy a long soak or a refreshing shower in the ground-floor shower room, before heading into South Zeal, to dine out, stock up on the essentials and kickstart your itinerary. Within proximity you'll locate the National Trust landmark of Finch Foundry and the summit of Higher Tor, along with further beauty spots across the national park including Becky Falls Ancient Woodland Park and Canonteign Falls.
