Gloccamaura Reviews

Wow what an absolute Gem of a place we came as a group of 7 over 3 generations and this suited everyone of us! We hadnt travelled far 30 minutes due to grandparents not being able to drive far but it definitely felt like a million miles away. Lots of beautiful places to visit on Dartmoor Widcombe in the moor, Hay Tor, Buckfast Abby just a few to name! The lodge was absolutely stunning and plenty of space the kitchen and open plan livingdining area was great everyone enjoyed cooking together and we even did some baking the kitchen is well equipped with everything you possibly needed our kids enjoyed the snug lounge as well they was plenty of cards board games to choose from. the log burner was ample amount of heating we turned the radiators down Our 2 dogs loved the outside garden all fenced in and plenty of room for them to have a mooch around. The hot tub was superb and the fairy lights around the fence was beautiful we sat out quite late a few nights just star gazing and listening to the owl. Jo and Max made us all feel very welcome right from the start with a wonderful hamper and messaged me after the first night to see how we were and if anything was needed and very kindly kept our logs stocked up! We all would definitely recommend this wonderful place to stay we all fell in love with it and it ticked every box plus more!!!! We are actually looking at dates for next year Thanks again Jo & Max in your hospitality from all of us!
Suzanne
What a brilliant property. In a quiet area but only 5 minutes from shops, takeaways and very central for visiting many of Devons attractions. The property itself was clean, spacious and had everything we needed for a very enjoyable holiday. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Would definitely book again.
Eleanor
GLOCCAMAURA Is a beautiful place to stay. As well as lovely accommodation it has a wonderful outside area which is completely enclosed so suitable for families with young children and furry friends. Jo and Max, the owners, are fantastic and always available for any queries. We have stayed in this area of Devon previously however will not look anywhere else now for repeat visits as GLOCCAMAURA is perfect for our family holidays.
This was our second stay here, and once again we all thoroughly adored it. The spacious layout is great for socialising and cooking. The outside space with seating, dining and hotub ticks all the boxes, and the lawn is great for games. Easy access to the town and many attractions along with the stunning Moor on your doorstep.
Jennifer
The property is fabulous. .. In a peaceful place too.. Everything needed to hand.. Well equipped..Very comfortable.. The hot tub was great too to relax in after days out... Great size of property
Robert
I am sorry but this is supposed to be pet friendly but apart from a small garden the only other walk is the drive. To take you dog for a walk you have to drive unless you like to walk single lane roads. The hot tub is under power probably not maintained properly. the tv in the front room is on its last legs. the property itself is not clean there are cobwebs everywhere they have been in place for a long time as they are covered in dust. the sofa if you lift the cushions well that has not been cleaned for months. They do not even move them to clean under them, the bathroom floor is in poor condition very near ready to replace, the cabinet in the bathroom has not been cleaned for a long time. For what is supposed to be luxury accommodation has slowly been left to deteriorate. I would not go back or recommend it to anyone. If this sounds unfair then you are looking at what it should be as we saw it first a lovely property but the longer you are there the more you see that has not been maintained or cleaned.

Cottage as described. Bigger than expected. But very clean and comfortable for our family . We had a very wet week it rained everyday So we couldnt really use the hot tub or the garden . Plenty of things to do and see in the area . The books and games came in very handy . I would definitely come and stay again . but in the summer Only suggestion I would make is to extend the patio area for the hot tub so you can walk around it and a cover of some sort so it can still be used even if the weather doesnt cooperate on your holiday.
Excellent facilities exactly as photographs. Had a great holiday visiting both the moors and coast

Claire
Fabulous property. Had everything you could need, very well equipped and comfortable. The location is fabulous, peaceful countryside with the moors on your doorstep and a short drive to the coast. The owners and their family couldnt have been more helpful. Were already trying to work out when we can go back.
The property has everything you want for a large group, spacious and quiet. The garden is lovely and very dogchild friendly. We highly recommend this property and we will be booking again.
The property was fantastic, the facilities were amazing and the owners were lovely. It was a home from homethey had thought of everything we could possibly need from kitchen equipment, pet care items to games and books etc for our entertainment! The hot tub was a welcome extra! It was in a great location for visits to Dartmoor and the coast! Perfect for our 3 generation family get together, we would definitely recommend Gloccamaura!
Vanessa
Plenty of rooms and space for big families. Hot tub was nice a hot on arrival with a hamper! Tvs had lots of channels, comfy beds and WiFi for the kids. Kitchen is like home from home. With added bonus of washing machine if longer stays. You have you only section of heaven as this is a lodge with its own drive with plenty of parking. It has high fences and its own garden. Prefect for walking families and dog owners. Its 6 minutes drive from Becky Falls and there are beautiful walks close by. Shops are a short drive., A beautiful place to stay! We would recommend this to all!!
