Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently mention the property's spotless condition and the well-maintained surroundings, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that contributes to the overall positive experience.
The property's peaceful and picturesque setting in Devon is highly appreciated, although one review notes the challenge of narrow, unlit roads. Its proximity to Dartmoor and other attractions is a plus, making it a desirable location for many.
Guests describe the cottage as cosy, comfortable, and spacious, with special mentions of comfortable beds and a relaxing hot tub. The secure garden and peaceful environment add to the comfort level experienced by visitors.
The property is praised for its well-equipped kitchen, ample amenities, and the added luxury of a hot tub. While the facilities are generally seen as excellent, minor suggestions for improvement prevent a perfect score.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome hamper and other provisions, which are frequently mentioned and appreciated by guests. While these gestures are highly valued, it is noted that such offerings may vary and are not guaranteed.

Okehampton is a busy market town on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park and near the highest and most dramatic areas of the moor, where Yes Tor rises to a height above 2000 feet. To the north of Okehampton are some beautiful rolling Devon hills where small farming villages nestle amidst woods and fields with plenty of gently flowing rivers.

Peter & Jackie always go the extra mile and itâs really appreciated. Itâs an old converted barn so donât expect new build style, Itâs rustic and quirky! The views are stunning (especially from the hot-tub!). See you again next year!
