The location is ideal for visiting both Dartmoor (we wandered the moors, visited lovely Chagford and swam in the river Dart) and the spectacular beaches.

The location is ideal for visiting both Dartmoor (we wandered the moors, visited lovely Chagford and swam in the river Dart) and the spectacular beaches. Our last afternoon and evening spent in Hope Cove swimming and having fish and chips at the pub watching the sun go down is something we will always remember.

“Lighting very poor in kitchen & living room.”

No outside clothesline. No tumble drier. Fridge was not really big enough for five people. Poor food prep area in kitchen. However the owners were very friendly & helpful. Our granddaughter enjoyed the animals. And we all enjoyed the wonderful peaceful atmosphere.
