The city of Plymouth is situated 25 miles to the south with its famous Barbican and Lido. Dartmoor National Park is approx. 7 miles away at Lydford.

This cottage was perfect for my husband and I and our dog. We loved the rural location and the cottage itself was warm and comfortable and had everything we needed. We only dropped cleanliness to 4 stars as there were a few cobwebs on the beams - but really, in an old barn this goes with the territory... The owner lives next door so was accessible and very helpful when needed.We hope to return.
