The cottage was incredible, it was only and full of character and a really big space! It had everything needed for a self catering stay and is the perfect location for exploring Dartmoor and other areas of Devon! We were also welcomed with a lovely homemade flapjack and some local cider and also some fresh milk for a well needed cuppa on arrival we will definitely stay again the next time we visit Devon, it was perfect!
