  There are so many great things about this cozy, welcoming cottage it's hard to know where to start.

  Its central location is perfect for visiting all corners of Devon and only half hour from Cornwall. Meldon reservoir is within walking distance, leading to direct access to the moors and Yes Tor. The setting is peaceful and tranquil with beautiful flower gardens, free range chickens, wildlife and views of the moors opposite. There is a spectacular view of Yes Tor from the master bedroom and the big double bed is divine! The kitchen is spacious and well equipped, leading onto a private patio, dining area. There is a very generous welcome pack, including free range eggs, which we appreciated having arrived quite late. The owners have created a really welcoming and relaxing holiday home here and it's evident that a lot of care and thought have been given to ensure visitors' experience is perfect. Thank you.

  Our stay and the cottage was absolutely magical.

  The location is perfect with outstanding views and a rural feel yet only minutes from the town of Okehampton. Chickens and ducks wandering past the window was an entertaining treat, and the kindly provided eggs gave a welcoming touch. Not to mention the milk, jam, cream, scones and more! The choice of walks and visitor attractions nearby gave us more than enough to do. In the cottage we found everything we needed thoughtfully laid out to make it feel like home. The quality of everything was very high, comfy beds, good linen and plenty of towels. The adjoining games room was a very special extra providing a huge range of games and DVDs. The hosts were friendly, accomodating and went beyond the usual to make us feel welcome. We just can't thank them enough.

  The Owners were welcoming and friendly.

  We did have a few issues which did get sorted although the oven took a week. The beds were comfortable and the barn was warm, the settees left a lot to be desired. The woodburner popped on top outside when lit even when the damper was closed definitely needs servicing. Worst thing is the road it is more potholes than road I can't see the council doing anything with this being a no through road when there are so many other roads needing attention, maybe they can try and do something themselves, there are no passing places and on meeting a land rover and trailer I had to reverse quarter of a mile until he could pass. It did stop us going back lunch time to go back out in afternoon as one bone shaker a day was quite sufficient.

  This stay by far exceeded my expectations.

  The photos don’t do the accommodation justice, it was beautiful. When we opened the door we were wowed. The one thing I was upset about being away from home for Christmas was not having a Christmas tree, but to my surprise there had a beautiful tree set up in the living room which was beyond perfect. It was homely, spacious, cosy, with stunning views. Lovely local walks to take the dog. Only thing I will say is don’t underestimate the narrow roads around the area and road leading to the cottage, it’s bumpy, dark and quite a squeeze with a large 4x4 but it just made the journey even more exciting. Ellen and her partner were a delight. Definitely will be staying again.

  A very nice property in a lovely quiet location.

  The view from.the lounge/garden is stunning. Positives - the cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable and welcoming. There are lots of lovely walks and interesting places close by. Tavistock is a gem of a town and very welcoming and dog friendly. Negatives - the garden is not dog proof so be prepared to use a lead unless your dog has perfect recall. Ours are pretty good but it was still a concern. The WiFi is awful. We counldnt use most of the time but mobile signal is OK. As advised the access isn't suitable.for some vehicles. It is a long single track drive which is rough in places but OK if you approach with caution. No worse than some of the roads!
