Great holiday home with all creature comforts. Great hosts, very friendly but not over encroaching.The weather was not on our side too much during our stay, but this did not distract from us relaxing.Would be happy to revisit again in the future.

Excellent location for exploring Dartmoor and surrounding area. Kitchen well equipped. Nice touches on arrival re flowers, cake and milk. Good supply of logs for wood burner which was greatly appreciated as a supplement means of heating and gave that "comfy" feel. Bathroom a little chilly. Track to property worn in places so take care and drive slowly. Overall, excellent accomodation and we had a lovely stay despite the weather!
