Really nice little cottage. Loved the fire and hot tub for cosy evenings. Beds and bedrooms really nice and comfortable and good size.

Helene
We have just had a lovely stay at Dartmoor Cottage. Situated on a hill top so the views are stunning. The property is clean and cosy and we felt so comfortable there. The property owners are really nice and accommodating. The kitchen had all the utensils we needed and the Nespresso machine was a great addition. And the cream tea was a very welcome surprise on arrival. Thank you so much for a brilliant stay.
Natalie
Just returned from a week at Dartmoor cottage.Location is around 25 mins drive from nearest beaches but area cottage is in is beautifully quiet! Garden area is not directly of door of the house, but gated drive is secure as you walk across, so still safe for the dog. Hottub garden is lovely, but dogs not allowed to stay in there, which makes it sli ghtly awkward if you just want to sit outside. Dog paddock was great. Dog also not allowed upstairs in cottage. Well equipped and wld recommend.
Karen
The cottage is lovely and well situated to explore Devon. We had a great stay and really enjoyed the hot tub and amazing view. There are a couple of things that are useful to know. We couldnt get a warm shower in the evening. We were a family of 5, most of us adults. There is a boost button that provides warm water but it only worked for us in the morning. Our dog was very welcome but not allowed upstairs or in the garden area with the comfy seats and hot tub.
Dean
Excellent hosts and cottage was beautiful. Great location away from hustle of London. Just great all round. Highly recommended
Samantha
Lovely stay at the cottage. The surroundings are beautiful and we loved the garden areas. It was a great location to get to all of the areas of Devon we wanted to visit. Everything you need for a comfortable stay, a downstairs toilet would have been handy!
Catherine
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dartmoor Cottage, a complimentary cream tea greeted us on arrival, it was delicious. The cottage was comfortable and clean, the beds were really comfortable, the kitchen had everything you could ask for. The hot tub was lovely with superb views to enjoy. Our hosts were very obliging and friendly. The dog paddock wa s also a hit. Thankyou.
Andrew
Lovely place in a quiet location, close enough to nearest towns for the essentials, owners are very good and provide an information pack that is very helpful. Hot tub is nice to come home to!
Joanna
We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was extremely clean and very comfortable, had all we needed and more. The cream tea was a nice treat - thank you and the recommendations for food in the folder was useful. We had 2 great meals out. Having the hot tub and the views was a real treat we all really enjoyed it. The extra field/garden for the dog was also a great idea as we had a practice of rounders in here due to the space. Would definitely recommend as we all came home relaxed and refreshed.
Alysson
The cottage was situated in a very quiet area ,perfect for a relaxing break made more special by having a Hot Tub The accommodation was very clean and warm with hard wood flooring and tiles throughout the ground floor. Kitchen/ diner had plenty of up to date equipment including a washing machine. Beds were very comfy. Nice garden area for the dogs to use , other had the Hot Tub on raised decking with fab views and outdoor seating. Hard standing area for cars with secure gate to the road.
Judith
We were welcomed by Mike and Sally, who were excellent hosts throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble. Chocolate Easter eggs and hot cross buns greeted us when we arrived. Which was a lovely touch. The cottage is very well equipped with everything we needed including washing machine and dish washer tablets. We had exclusive use of the hot tub which had marvellous views over Exmoor. We would definitely book again and can't recommend this cottage highly enough.
Marina
We had the most relaxing stay at Dartmoor Cottage over Easter half-term, with the hot tub being an absolute highlight, we spent many happy hours there and felt really refreshed and full of energy at the end of our stay. The location is amazing, the views are magnificent, especially from the hot tub. House booklet was really useful, we found brillia nt recommendations about eating places, and if staying in, there is big Tesco within 10 minutes drive. Highly recommended!
Gordon
Nicely laid out cottage with covers available for doggy for the furniture, was very welcoming we arrived at 1900ish in the dark. Followed the 3 mile walk around the area which was pleasantly a good stroll for doggy as well. We ventured to Westwood Ho 2 times 35mins a lovely beach to walk and 1.45 to Plymouth. Shopping done in Barnstable where there s Asda or Tescos on outskirts. Was nice and quiet which gave us some peace away from the hussle of our daily lives.
