  We had a lovely relaxing stay at this cottage.

  Wonderful views across the highest tors in Dartmoor. Great base for exploring NE and NW Dartmoor. Only 45 minutes to Bude on the coast which is worth a visit. The cottage had a delightful cream tea on arrival and the owners were very helpful and friendly. We had lots of wildllife to enjoy including Mr Mole, Sheep, geese, wild rabbits and a horse in the paddock. The cottage had all we needed for a comfortable stay including a log fire which was cosy. The small criticism was that the Christmas tree had a coating on it to stop the needles falling inside the cottage, and unfortunately this gave off a pungent smell like linseed oil in putty. This did cause breathing issues for me as I have asthma. Plus there were a few cobwebs in the rafters. But these are minor issues as the tree was for Christmas time at the cottage and not there all year round. The memory foam mattress takes getting used to as it can cause overheating during rest but still comfortable. There are occasional noises to accept as the property has public toilets on the outside wall of the property for the use of the campers. But overall the holiday experience was great and relaxing and I have already recommended the cottage to friends. Great base for exploring and great to have an enclosed garden to use in the summer plus great for pet dogs to run around in safely . It was great to have everything on the ground floor and the water is really hot for baths plus large bathroom with good shower and toilet. Great to have heated towel rail too. Nice and clean with nice soaps and plenty of towels. Just need to vacuum up the cob webs from the rafters plus check under the leather cushions on the sofa bed to vacuum a bit of dust, but apart from that it was a great cottage

  We booked a week's stay at View The Gallery for New Year 2023.

  When we arrived, the barn was warm & welcoming along with a homemade cream tea from Gill, which was lovely & much needed plus a beautifully decorated Christmas tree! Unfortunately we picked the worst week in history to stay, as we endured sideways rain for the majority of our holiday but that didn't dampen our stay! The facilities were great, being able to store & cook all of the food we wanted, a huge bathroom with more than enough hot water (& lovely towels too!), Smart TVs (which we had to make use of given the weather on some days!), nice secure garden for our dogs to wander around in & private parking. The town is a short drive away with a great choice of supermarkets & shops. The barn is situated in a rural area so was fantastically peaceful with easy access to Dartmoor! Visit Meldon Reservoir, you will not be disappointed! We had our perfect New Year despite the weather & will definitely be back again! Thank you Gill & Derek for your kind hospitality!

  This is a lovely cottage with wonderful views, great facilities and fantastic hosts.

  The only thing that didn't quite work for us was the fence as there is a gap at around the 4 foot height. For the vast majority of people with dogs, this wouldn't be a problem, but unfortunately we have a Houdini rescue dog on our hands who was able to climb up and through the gap. It did mean she had to be kept on a long lead all weekend which was a bit of a shame as we were looking forward to her having a run around. But I don't want to criticise the hosts who were amazing and we are well aware that our rescue dogs do need a little more security than most dogs. If the gap in the fence was increased to the top of the fence post, we'd definitely be back. I just wanted to share this incase there is anyone else with a Houdini dog interested in booking the cottage. If your dog is not a climbing escapee artist, then we could not recommend this place enough!

  I would like to thank you for making our stay so perfect in every way possible.

  On arrival there was a cream tea waiting for us and some milk, tea and coffee if you haven't brought your own. The scone was delicious! The lodge has lots of space for two people and the open plan set up was perfect. The bed was extremely comfortable as were the sofa and chair and unlike a lot of rentals you had also provided footstools which is a must in our eyes for comfort. The kitchen was fully equipped and there was a powerful shower in the bathroom. It was the quietest place and had terrific views across the valley. You hadn't skimped on anything and I wish every owner of a holiday rental took the care and consideration for their guests that you did. It was a refreshing delight that the photographs actually matched the 5 star accommodation, well done and we will be telling our family and friends about it without hesitation. Thanks again.
