"The cottage and the owner were a delight. The cottage was so well finished and equipped that it felt more like staying at a home than a holiday rental. It was very well suited to dogs with wooden floors downstairs and a good sized balcony, not to mention the hosepipe at the bottom of the entrance stairway. Cotton linen, feather duvets, a choice of feather or synthetic pillows and good towels were a plus too.We are lucky enough to live in a very quiet, rural location: this felt like a home from home. Beautifully peaceful.I had reservations when booking about the lack of garden, but the dogs were happy with a quick trip down the lane when necessary and we spent all day walking so there were no complaints from our canine companions. There is a wonderful, traditional Devon pub a ten minute walk away and we didn't feel like we had to drive anywhere. Coincidentally we did find that all of our walks seemed to end at the pub. A map of Dartmoor was useful; there is free roaming on Dartmoor so you can just wander without the need for a walking book. There is also very helpfully a map provided on the wall of the cottage.The shower room is compact but so cleverly designed that it was not a problem. I had concerns about previous comments regarding space, especially as we are a tall family, but we will definitely return. We came home much more rested than we would normally expect after a week off. Thanks Mel!"

"Virginia Cottage is all that you could ask for in a cosy well appointed place for a real break. Easily managed, it has everything you could wish for, as a couple or single person for your stay. The cottage is spotlessly clean and the welcome gifts were a lovely touch. Although an excellent level of privacy it gives a feeling of security and being part of a small community of like minded visitors. Annie and her family are welcoming and concerned that everything is done to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The location is quiet and relaxing, close to Bovey Tracey, a lovely small town where you can find really interesting local shops. A perfect place to stay for travelling around this part of Devon, the moors, the coast, lovely towns and beauty spots, and National Trust properties to discover. Thank you Annie, it was a lovely break."

"Had an amazing few days here! We were actually upgraded to their Wisteria cottage, due to the previous visitors wanting to stay on for longer (another good sign of a great place to stay!). The place was gorgeously decorated, very comfortable, very clean. There were lots of nice touches to make our stay more comfortable for example, a selection of books, DVD's and games. The bed was so comfortable we didn't want to leave it! It's in a great location, just down the road from the town so easy to nip to the shops after a 5 minute car journey. In the town there are some lovely places to eat. The grounds themselves are quiet and well kept. Anne and Andy were both very welcoming and made us feel at home. Would definitely recommend these cottages and will rebook if I am down that end of the country again. Thank you!"

"A warm welcome on our arrival. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ringslade. The hosts were friendly and very helpful. The barn was very well furnished and equipped, with detailed information 'how to' about the equipment, which we found very useful. Everything worked well. Also provided was a good, thick file of places to visit, walks, leisure activities, places to eat etc. This again was well thought out and useful. Good WiFi signal. We did not use all the facilities (cinema or the fire pit) but would be great for summer. Will certainly be returning and highly recommend Ringslade. And thanks for the cream tea!Family friendly, spacious yet homely. Perfect location for the coast, Dartmoor, towns and cities. Brilliant."

"An almost perfect stay at Acorn Cottage. The location was great as we were attending a wedding in Chudleigh; only 10 mins away. As well as being nearby to pubs and local amenities. The cottage itself was lovely and big, and provided near enough everything we needed. We did however need an iron and later found out it was located in the games room; this wasn’t noted anywhere. Also, the wifi was not working for any of us, this may be because the router is not in the property? But aside from this, we had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay (I slept like a baby, nice beds), we would recommend it and definitely return. Also the owner (who we did not actually see), was indeed very helpful over the phone!"
