    One our engineers stayed here recently and everything went smoothly. Communication was great throughout, check-in was easy, and the accommodation was clean and comfortable. Well definitely consider staying again for future projects.

    We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable and very clean cottage which has easy acces to main roads to places of interest and wonderful walks on Dartmoor. Very quiet location.

  • PHILIP HUDSON

    The owner was very nice and the cakes left for us were delicious. The accommodation was small and dated . The cooker was old and not very efficient, cooking pans could do with renewing .the cutlery was a mish mash of styles . No shaving point or shaving light in bathroom . Toilet seat was loose and lid did not stay up . Not their fault but wifi was iffy.
