We had a lovely stay at The Bing. It was a really cosy place that was on Dartmoor and close to some amazing places to visit. Jenny was lovely and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed.

A really lovely cottage that was spotless and well equipped with everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return. The only downside was the busy road right outside, which affected the overall feel of the location. Otherwise, it would easily have been a 5-star stay. It was great to see the local pub has reopened too, and we're looking forward to trying their food if they have a kitchen operating when we visit again.

Stunning cottage - really clean and very comfortable. Location is pretty remote which is a bonus - lovely walks just 3 mins away. Friendly hosts too. Road can-be noisy but not an issue for us. We would love to return
