  Had a wonderful time at Groom cottage.

  It’s a very cute cottage within a complex of cottages. It has all you need and was really well equipped. Susan the owner was lovely, the only problem we had was a broken clothes airer which she replaced immediately. She also provided us with beach chairs and a windbreaker which was fab! The shared pool was brilliant, we used every day, the kids play area was popular with my eldest, but good to know you cannot see the play area from Groom Cottage. The local area is lovely would particularly recommend sandymouth beach ant Tintagel Castle. The cottage is small, the bedrooms are a decent size but living space is small so was a bit of a squeeze for 4 of us. The outside space is very cute with 2 small courtyard style gardens and a front patio. The courtyard gardens are filled with plants and very private which is nice. The front patio is more spacious and less private. The one and only thing I would change would be to add black out roller blinds to the upstairs bedroom windows so you have the option to use them. The south facing light comes in very early in summer, for a lot or people this is no problem but if like me I get woken up by light very easily. But that is the only thing. We had a wonderful stay and we were blessed with amazing weather. Would recommend.

  The area is lovely and quiet to relax in, the hot tub was very enjoyable as was the amazing bath.

  You are not far from Tavistock which is great if you want to explore the town. The cottage has most things that you would want and we appreciated the milk, water and Prosecco on arrival. We found the place fine using our Sat Nav, although we have a city car which the track isn’t made being so rural, so you may need to drive slow. I would add somethings to consider, we found the bed too soft but understand this likely to be personal preference. We used our own pillows as the ones provided were quite soft too. I would add another set of cutlery as the one set can be used up with breakfast and lunch and it would help making washing dishes more economical. Be mindful of movement in the shower as we knocked our elbows a few times on the metal shelving. I would also add to be mindful that visiting guests the lunchtime before the day of checkout sends the wrong message when asking ‘when you can empty the hot tub for the next guests’. It is not appropriate and we left promptly after. I would suggest leaving your ‘tidying up’ for you nine hour cleaning window when guests have vacated like all other establishments. As you can see above there were minor issues, however, overall our stay was very enjoyable and relaxing a would highly recommend a stay.

  Total relax and recharge.

  This is the second time we have stayed in this idyllic little hideaway tucked away on the edge of the woods. From the moment you arrive you can feel the stresses of everyday life get left behind. The cottage is perfect if you wish to relax, recharge your batteries and immerse yourself in nature. The woods are right on your doorstep and will keep you amused for hours with their endless tracks. We were lucky enough to see a deer at dusk one evening which was magical. Although the weather was rainy on a few days during our stay it certainly didn’t dampen our spirits and a hot tub in the pouring rain is a definite must!! We also took a drive out to Dartmoor which is only about 15 minutes away. You are totally spoilt for choice on walking routes and clambering up the tors is an absolute must, the views are spectacular. Tavistock town is worth a visit, the market square is a hive of activity and crammed full with arts and crafts. We ate at Taylor’s which was lovely and very reasonable. All in all a fabulous week in a very special location. We look forward to returning again sometime.

  We absolutely loved our stay at Rock View Cottage.

  The location is really secluded and if you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place to go. Literally all you can hear is the birds. Lots of walks right on your door step, and a massive hot tub big enough for 6.... So with just two of us was very luxurious. The cottage itself is very well equipped with everything you could need, bed is huge and really comfortable. The only negative I'll say is the seating whilst modern and new... Were not the most comfortable.. they have low backs, so you cant lay out. But that is a minor thing and didn't impact our holiday as we often sat outside, or were in the hot tub. In terms of the location you are far enough removed to have a quiet woodland holiday, but a 20 minute drive will take you into Plymouth, or Cornwall, so close enough for the town's. We ate out a couple of times (horn of plenty is a must try) but mostly cooked at the cottage. The kitchen is fully fitted with every kind of pot/pan you could need. Overall this gets a 5* from us and we will be looking to book again next year.

  Beautiful cottage in the woods which feels extremely remote and quiet but sufficiently close to civilisation to not be a problem in getting anywhere.

  Nick was amazing throughout our stay, very helpful and friendly and provided a lovely Prosecco treat and specifically catered to our non-dairy needs with the milk provided. We loved our stay and would definitely stay again. Helpful tips for other people staying: 1. Take some indoor slippers as the cottage has a beautiful oak floor which is polished/waxed/cleaned before your stay. In bare feet or socks we found it to be very slippery especially then using the tiled bathroom floor so would recommend indoor footwear that is safe for the floors. 2. If you are not confident using tiny Devon lanes it may not be for you as the approach is single track and near working farmland. We are very used to such roads but had some interesting moments with tractors but handled easily but I know some people don't like using such roads. Also if your car has low suspension the final part of the track may be a little problematic for you.
