The cottage was clean and cozy with everything we needed. The location is ideal as a centre for getting out and seeing everything. The garden was dog proof and the house ideal for managing them. Malcom and Zoe were very welcoming and we felt very relaxed and at home - we will hopefully return before too long!

The beds are extremely comfortable and the property is spacious but still feels cosy, we couldn't have asked for more. The location was perfect for us and allowed us to easily visit both Dartmoor and Exmoor.
