About this property
This modern whitewashed cottage is situated in a quiet residential area, near the church in the pretty Dartmoor village of Horrabridge.

On the first floor, the large sitting room with dining area, comfy sofas, reclining armchair and piano, makes this a cosy room for relaxing in front of the TV or listening to some light music. A small kitchen, a bathroom and double bedroom completes the accommodation on this floor. On the ground floor are two further bedrooms sharing a shower room. Outside, the enclosed gravel garden has a decked area which catches the sun, creating a peaceful place to sit whilst enjoying a barbecue or evening drink. Just a short stroll from the cottage is the village shop, and pub which is welcoming and serves excellent food. Close by is a pretty river and bridge and there is a children's playground in the adjacent park. A ten minute drive away, is the award-winning Pannier Market of Tavistock. Burrator Reservoir is close by on Dartmoor, where part of the Steven Spielberg film War Horse was filmed.

Holiday property offers good value for money. Great village location with everything you need within walking distance. Communication from owner was quick and friendly. No direct access to garden and âupside downâ house layout was not ideal for us as and our dog! Also key code could be put on Sykes property details.

We stayed in Ireland last year and the kitchens were massive. As a keen amateur cook I had to adapt!

I would recommend it. There are just a few details to mention. The double bed mattress is solid, I struggled to sleep as the mattress is so hard. The microwave keeps microwaving although the timer has stopped. The toaster worked but I had to hold the handle down as it kept popping up. As for the size and location of the house, fantastic, just a perfect place to get out for a walk on the moors or visit local villages.
