Parking was a little tight at times. Cottage was very clean and we had everything we needed. Location was convenient to explore central Devon including Dartmoor. Castle Drogo was a highlight. Scones, flowers and milk in the fridge was a lovely touch . We will definitely be returning. Thank you Elsa

Turn off the main road and you are transported back into an age of stunning thatched-roofed cottages. The cottage had all the amenities you require while away from home and a very comfortable super king-size bed. Thank you
