Property was home from home. All the amenities you would require in such a beautiful landscape. Can’t wait to return.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2020
The cottage is set on a small private road with stunning views of the Devon countryside and Dartmoor. It has a lovely garden with lots of birds visiting it. The house is very spacious for a couple and suits a family.
All local facilities are a drive away to Ivybridge although you could walk it in about 20 minutes along the road. We loved walking out from the house on to the moors.
It is peaceful with some minor noises from railway and Devon Express way.
The house was very clean and tidy. Covid-19 restrictions mean that a lot of the games, books and DVDS were not available but we were informed of this in advance. There is only one bathroom plus WC which was ok for us but not so good for families.
There was a present surprise for us on arrival to make it extra special.

One of the best.
Very good quality of equipment, and the rooms very clean.
The location is quiet. The view over the countryside from the lounge is outstanding. One can just spy the sea on a good day. Also watch the birds feeding.
Some nice walks directly from the cottage, also along the river in Ivybridge.
The local pub, Horse and Groom, serves good ale and good pub food, and is friendly, as are the locals.
