As I mentioned in a message to the owner, we could not fault the location of the cottage, however with the early checkout time of the previous guests and the very late check in rules for us there was no excuse for the lack of cleanliness that greeted us.

Cottage warm and clean, being on Dartmoor it was quiet, the facilities were more than adequate. WI-FI and TV worked well.The two of us had a very enjoyable stay.
