The cottage is praised for its quiet and peaceful setting, making it a good base for exploring Dartmoor. Its proximity to North Tawton and Okehampton is noted, though the remote nature may not suit everyone.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with a comfy bed and spacious areas. However, one review mentioned inadequate lighting and the absence of a dressing table, suggesting room for improvement.
The property is well-presented with necessary kitchen facilities, but some guests mention a lack of toiletries, poor lighting, and a need for more homely touches. These areas could be enhanced for a better experience.
The welcome package with homemade treats is highly appreciated, indicating thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed with every stay.
