"A lovely part of the world: we enjoyed some great walks in Dartmoor, visited Buckland Abbey which is literally right outside the village of Milton Combe, and had a day at the coast at Wembury which is just 40 minutes' drive away. The village itself is very peaceful and set in a deep valley so you really feel like you've got away from it all. The local pub ('Who'd Have Thought It') served stunning food - we went there three nights in a row. Because the village is so small, there isn't a shop in it, but you don't have to drive very far to find one. The cottage was nice and cosy, especially once we had lit the wood fire. Both bedrooms and the bathroom were fine. We didn't cook at all so can't really say much about the kitchen, though the toaster could do with being replaced. Dishwasher and washing machine both worked OK. In a perfect world there would be a garden out the back that the dog could be let into, but that is impossible given the location - the slope behind the row of cottages is almost vertical. Not a major issue, though, as it is easy to walk the dog around the village and there is almost no traffic to worry about."

"We arrived a little late, having spent a bit too much time in Exeter, so our super cream tea was not enjoyed until the following day. This lovely gesture was typical of the welcoming attitude of Sally and Christopher. Truly nothing was too much trouble, even when we managed to muck up the TV stations! Our Labrador enjoyed running in the large enclosed field and swimming in a river not too far away. Nearby Tavistock is well worth a visit with everything from Supermarkets to a market complete with small individual shops.Our holiday flew past, we would certainly recommend this cosy excellently equipped cottage and hope to return."

"Absolutely charming little cottage, located right on the edge of the moors. It is small, but just perfect for a couple and a dog. The little village of North Brentor is nice - but no pub or shop. For that you must go over to Lydford - where The Castle pub is everything anyone would want (and right next to National Trust's Lydford gorge). The other pubs nearby in Peter Tavy etc are equally good. Fantastic walks all around the area. The market town of Tavistock - a few miles away - is lovely as well. Sally, the owner is very friendly and helpful. After a week there, it is hard to resist not upping sticks and moving to Devon!"

"The house is located on a busy road. You can hear engine noise day and night and see the headlights at night in the bedroom. In the evening there was often no Internet after 8 pm. Initially, an adapter for electrical appliances with continental European plugs was missing. We did not receive any instruction in the house, e.g. the heating, hot water. A pump caused constantly recurring noise during the day and at night, so it was almost impossible to fall asleep in the bedroom with 2 beds.Even if the house itself is beautiful and well furnished, we would not recommend it to anyone."

"The accommodation was lovely. I was less impressed with the fact that one of the neighbours obviously has a key to the garage and entered the garage whilst we were in to check what was in the bins to put them out!!! I found this a little disturbing and wondered if they had other keys to gain access to the property??? I had already decided that we weren't putting the bins out on Friday morning as we had only arrived on Wednesday night and there seemed little point since there was only paper in the bin, so no point in putting an essentially empty plastic bag out."
