Exceed Expectations?

Views from both front and back of cottage were stunning. Great range of appliances in the kitchen.

Review:

A warm and cosy barn conversion with a wood-burning stove in the open fireplace and central heating. The bathroom and kitchen are well equipped, clean and modern. The cream tea on arrival was a welcome touch after a long journey. The owners make you feel very welcome throughout the holiday and are very helpful in recommending local places to eat, events and sights to visit etc. There are wonderful views to the rear of the cottage and at the front there is the magnificent sight of St. Michael de Rupe on top of Brentor - a steep walk but well worth it for the views across Dartmoor.

Specifically Recommend:	As we have a dog, we really appreciated having an enclosed garden plus a meadow to walk the dog. We also enjoyed the space in the living area.
