Was truly amazed how clean the property was and how well equipped the kitchen was to do a full Christmas meal roasting a turkey, gammon and vegetables. There was sufficient cutlery to accommodate all of us. We were a party of nine adults with one child. The lodge was spacious and able to accommodate all of us with ease. The owner Claire was approachable and very accommodating and made us feel extremely welcomed. We were greeted with Christmas gifts and a bottle of Prosecco and a lovely Christmas card. Claire had decorated the lodge for us with a Christmas tree and lights. This definitely was an extra touch providing a festive spirit in the lodge, truly could not fault anything about facilities cleanliness and space. It felt like home from home, the lodge was very warm and cosy. Sadly the leisure facilities were closed for the duration we were there, which didnât dampen spirits as there was plenty for us to do and see. Booked this lodge on the spur of the moment and was truly not disappointed, had an amazing experience and Claire the owner was a brilliant, would highly recommend and book again.

Table had 8 chair but you couldn't all sit round it as no elbow room at all. One sofa very uncomfortable but again the together would be hard pressed to seat 8. Was fairly clean but kept walking through cobwebs .The welcome book was handy but could have done with some information on walks in the area. Owner was very helpful with arrival information, etc. Evan texted us ro let us know the cottage was ready early. On the plus side the cottage was well equipped and the views were amazing

The house is spotless, nicely furnished and has all of the amenities we could ever need!! The location is ideal, we visited the nearby Donkey Park, Looe, Polperro, Plymouth & Crealy! We also dined at the Rifle Volunteer which was a 15 min walk away where the food was AMAZING! Claire, the owner of Dartmoor View could not have been more accommodating! She welcomed us early what with having a baby and assisted with any questions we had before/after our stay. If it wasnât for the 6 hour drive from home we would already be booking our next trip! Thank you very much!!
