The property was well kept and beautifully located

Heather was the perfect host, she went above and beyond to make all of her guests feel welcomed. The property itself met our expectations, clean and comfortable and very dog friendly.

Great location! We stayed there for the weekend to visit a local friend and hike in Dartmoor National Forest. We had a wonderful visit with our friend— and really appreciated the proximity of this rental property. It’s NOT a 3 bedroom cottage; it’s a 3 bedroom unit like a flat or apartment within a larger house that has multiple units. This one was somewhat underground in parts of the house. The grounds and gardens are beautiful. There’s a lovely front garden with a clothesline, which we used to hang out our wet laundry. The host is lovely and welcoming. The property is dog-friendly.

First, we arrived and were disappointed that we had not rented the cottage to ourselves— there were multiple units within a larger house. We arrived later than we expected and there were ants in the cupboards and the host sprayed poison all onto the glasses and dishes (so that meant we could not use any of them.) I was shocked. It wasn’t what I expected based on the photos and the description. I thought we had a private patio (it was a shared patio). The interior floor sloped so dramatically that I fell down twice inside the apartment. At the time I fell, I was walking through the hallway. Sober. The slanted floor also made it challenging to take a bath (the water sloshed to one side), and we didn’t sleep well at all. Poor mattresses.

Nicely finished cottage, in a quiet location.

Internal roller doors could be of better quality. And external door to one of the bedrooms didn't lock.
