Haytor Rocks, Dartmoor escape

Perfect location for exploring Dartmoor and the surrounding areas. Very peaceful and quiet and we were lucky with the weather. The cottage was well equipped and one of the neighbours helped when we had an issue with the hot water which we struggled to get back on (not used to using an Aga Oven system.) Would definitely visit again and explore more of the wilder areas and walking trails. This time we focused on beaches and towns as it was so hot.

The turn into the parking for the cottage is VERY tight. We have a Discovery 5 and could only just squeeze through the turn between two barns, definitely not for the faint hearted. Also, some of the roads in the area are very narrow and so there are delays if you come across another vehicle traveling the opposite way, again, not for the faint hearted! The location of the cottage makes up for it and worth it if you like to be in a more remote area away from the hustle and bustle and lots of other tourists.

Everything we needed for our stay

It was lovely. Bigger than expected. Living room is superb.

It is a lovely place, great location and good size and set up. If everything was working we we definitely go there again. Easy to get out on the moors would be even better in the summer being able to sit outside.

The heating system was broken which in Jan was a little cold. The landlady did try to get it fixed while we were there but was unable so we went through a few bags of wood and used a lot if blankets. We were offered a discount but unfortunately this didn't come through.
