We would have liked more contact with the owners. The only time we spoke to them was a few minutes before departure.

Very large lower floor part of house Which across from a little lane as a field where you can can sit ant relax aswel as a small court yard , We only saw the hosts a couple of times , and the they were pleasant people who would quite happily help with anything you needed Our only down side was the tv in the lounge was not a good picture but they had left us notice of the issue and there wa a second one in the bedroom The main issue was the shower screen was so small water went literally everywhere Other than this we enjoyed our stay very much

The amenities are excellent and cleanliness is very good. Tavistock is a lovely traditional town with a good choice of restaurants , our JR dog was made welcome in most places and loved the field opposite . We will certainly like to return one day.
