“We had a wonderful time at Rock View Cottage.”

Spotlessly clean, a very comfortable bed. Hot tub was a lovely bonus. It was nice to light the woodburner and have a cosy night. Prefect place to escape and relax. We enjoyed the woodpecker, the cheeky squirrel and so many birds enjoy the bird feeder, nice to just sit and watch nature at its best.

“The property was exceptional.”

Surroundings were idyllic and very peaceful. Everything was outstanding. Kitchen fully equipped and the extras were very much appreciated. The bed was so comfy and big. Hot tub was used a lot to help releave aching muscles. We were so relaxed and didn't want to leave. Hope to return in the future. Andrew and Tina Simmons

“What a wonderful place to stay.”

Our holiday was perfect, the cottage was clean and cared for to a very high standard and extremely well equipped. It's in a beautiful location, quiet and very relaxing. The hot tub was a lovely touch, we used it every evening. We were made to feel very welcome, thank you Nick and Karen. The flowers, prosecco, chocolate, milk etc were really nice as little extras. We would highly recommend the cottage and hope to return, definitely 10/10. Thank you Jules and Ash

“Covers for outside chairs.”

When it stops raining and you want to sit outside you need to wait for the chairs to dry as they are wood.

- Paul, May 2024

Thanks for pointing that out, Paul; I can understand that covers for the chairs would be of benefit in wet weather, although once the sun comes out, they do tend to dry quite quickly, but it's something we will look at. Property Owner

“We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay and really didn't want to leave.”

The cottage was perfect, super clean and comfortable. Location was very peaceful. The hot tub was the best we have been in on a holiday, it was so good. Highly recommend this cottage.

“We had a lovely stay at Rock View Cottage.”

It was the perfect getaway. Nick welcomed us when we arrived and answered any questions we had. The accommodation was of a very high standard, with flowers, treats and a lovely welcome card, this property was perfect for two. The property is surrounded by trees and to be able to have a hot tub that you could relax in and enjoy the natural surroundings was ideal. The property is in an ideal position with the Tamar trails virtually on your doorstep and it is a short drive into Tavistock. We did not want to come home and would recommend a stay here.

“The owners were brilliant.”

They were friendly and attentive but left you to enjoy the holiday. The cottage was superb and in a wonderful woodland setting. Seeing a deer from the hot tub was amazing as were the starry skys at night. Would highly recommend.

Jane March 2024

“On arriving at Rock View cottage we were extremely impressed by the standard of the renovations and the quality of the whole thing.”

We came for peace, tranquility, wildlife and walks and we had them all in abundance. And to top it all we had the comfiest bed we have ever slept in. Rock View cottage is everything you could wish for and has everything you need. Nick,the owner, was lovely and extremely helpful. The only thing that let us down was the typical English weather! The only word to describe our week is....perfect. Thank you Nick for making us so welcome. We will be back.

“We absolutely loved our stay at Rock View Cottage.”

The location is really secluded and if you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place to go. Literally all you can hear is the birds. Lots of walks right on your door step, and a massive hot tub big enough for 6.... So with just two of us was very luxurious. The cottage itself is very well equipped with everything you could need, bed is huge and really comfortable. The only negative I'll say is the seating whilst modern and new... Were not the most comfortable.. they have low backs, so you cant lay out. But that is a minor thing and didn't impact our holiday as we often sat outside, or were in the hot tub. In terms of the location you are far enough removed to have a quiet woodland holiday, but a 20 minute drive will take you into Plymouth, or Cornwall, so close enough for the town's. We ate out a couple of times (horn of plenty is a must try) but mostly cooked at the cottage. The kitchen is fully fitted with every kind of pot/pan you could need. Overall this gets a 5* from us and we will be looking to book again next year.

Mary-anne July 2023

“Nick the host was very friendly and helpful.”

The cottage had everything you could possibly need and very, very comfortable. A very quiet and peaceful location. We highly recommend Rock View Cottage and would definitely return. Thank you Nick and Karen

Keith June 2023

“We had an extremely relaxing holiday.”

It was the perfect mix of being tucked away enough to enjoy peace and quite, but close enough to everything we wanted to do. The cottage is absolutely charming with a very comfortable bed and luxurious bathroom. We decided to have our evening meal at the cottage each day and the kitchen had everything we needed. There are some walking trails at the end of the path to do. The hot tub was much appreciated after that. The cottage is well shaded, so even in the hot weather it was nice and cool. Oh, and Cafe Liason in Tavistok makes a great pitstop for breakfast ;) I would wholeheartedly recommend this property.

Michael April 2023

“Rock View Cottage was the cleanest and most well equipped cottage we have stayed in.”

Combined with the peaceful woodland location, wood burner and hot tub it is a very relaxing cottage, so much so we even used the hot tub without the jets/bubbles to be able to sit and listen to the birds. All this combined with the extensive walks straight from the front door through some very picturesque woodlands means we definitely recommend staying here.

- Michael, April 2023
Dorota April 2023

“Perfect location for relaxation and chilling out.”

We enjoyed so much. Property prepared in hundreds percent. Communication with the owner on every stage in point. Very clean, comfortable, and absolutely stunning place. Hot tub amazing. Thank you Nick for having us there.

Amanda March 2023

“Total relax and recharge.”

This is the second time we have stayed in this idyllic little hideaway tucked away on the edge of the woods. From the moment you arrive you can feel the stresses of everyday life get left behind. The cottage is perfect if you wish to relax, recharge your batteries and immerse yourself in nature. The woods are right on your doorstep and will keep you amused for hours with their endless tracks. We were lucky enough to see a deer at dusk one evening which was magical. Although the weather was rainy on a few days during our stay it certainly didn’t dampen our spirits and a hot tub in the pouring rain is a definite must!! We also took a drive out to Dartmoor which is only about 15 minutes away. You are totally spoilt for choice on walking routes and clambering up the tors is an absolute must, the views are spectacular. Tavistock town is worth a visit, the market square is a hive of activity and crammed full with arts and crafts. We ate at Taylor’s which was lovely and very reasonable. All in all a fabulous week in a very special location. We look forward to returning again sometime.

- Amanda, March 2023
Jonathan March 2023

“Beautifully maintained property, set well away from any main roads on the border of a woodland.”

The internal decor and facilities are fantastic, a full size bath and separate full size shower we're most welcome after a rainy days hiking. Outside the hot tub is just the cherry on the proverbial cake.

- Jonathan, March 2023
Laura December 2022

“Wow, from start to finish, we relaxed.”

....Great communication from booking to check out. Home from home with a fully functioning and well-equipped kitchen. Amazing bathroom and great quality towels. The bed was so comfortable, we didn't want to get up in the mornings. Underfloor heating throughout so always warm and toasty and didn't need to light the wood burner. The hot tub was a great way to start and finish the day, even in the typical English weather which wasn't kind to us but we did not let it affect our much-needed rest and recuperation.

Natasha October 2022

“The area is lovely and quiet to relax in, the hot tub was very enjoyable as was the amazing bath.”

You are not far from Tavistock which is great if you want to explore the town. The cottage has most things that you would want and we appreciated the milk, water and Prosecco on arrival. We found the place fine using our Sat Nav, although we have a city car which the track isn’t made being so rural, so you may need to drive slow. I would add somethings to consider, we found the bed too soft but understand this likely to be personal preference. We used our own pillows as the ones provided were quite soft too. I would add another set of cutlery as the one set can be used up with breakfast and lunch and it would help making washing dishes more economical. Be mindful of movement in the shower as we knocked our elbows a few times on the metal shelving. I would also add to be mindful that visiting guests the lunchtime before the day of checkout sends the wrong message when asking ‘when you can empty the hot tub for the next guests’. It is not appropriate and we left promptly after. I would suggest leaving your ‘tidying up’ for you nine hour cleaning window when guests have vacated like all other establishments. As you can see above there were minor issues, however, overall our stay was very enjoyable and relaxing a would highly recommend a stay.

- Natasha, October 2022

We are always disappointed if guests are not fully happy with their experience & in respect of the mattress & pillows in terms of how firm or soft they are, it is clearly a matter of personal preference and over the years, many guests have commented on how well they have slept. We have also received comments on the equipment level of the kitchen and given that there is a dishwasher + tablets provided, along with two sets of knives and forks, this appears to us a better option than overfilling the cutlery draw. I do think it is important to respond to the point raised about cleaning the hot tub. This simply cannot be left until the guests leave on the morning of departure as we spend all day cleaning the inside of the cottage and it takes an hour and a half to empty and clean the hot tub, three hours to fill and a further 10 - 12 hours to heat so that it can be enjoyed by guests upon their arrival! However, I never expect guests to forgo their enjoyment of the hot tub; I explain why I am asking them the question and always stress they can use it up to whatever time it suits them. All I ask it to be notified when they have finished so that I can then start the process and have many times done this up to midnight on the Friday evening and then got up in the middle of the night to turn off the water once the tub has filled. It may be that I did not explain as fully as I should and never expect guests to alter their plans for my convenience and only regret if this was not made completely clear. Property Owner

It's been a peaceful and relaxing stay, with immaculate facilities, a stunning hot tub and was just what my husband and I needed. It's a haven for solace and silence.

Russell September 2022

“A beautiful secluded property surrounded by trees, large patio area and fabulous hot tub.”

Awesome evenings spent outside in the dark listening to owls and gazing up at the Milky Way, returning inside to the warmth of the log burner. A truly relaxing week with good weather and woodland trail walks from the front door. Thanks to Nick and Karen for the personal welcome card, milk and bottle of wine and of course for making this lovely property available to stay in. Russ & Deb, Bristol. 17th-24th Sept 2022

Jacqueline June 2022

“Thank you for a lovely stay - the cottage is beautiful and very well appointed.”

Totally peaceful and idyllic surroundings. The owners were very helpful and everything was perfect, with lots of nice little touches to make us feel welcome. The hot tub is a real treat. It's not a criticism as most cottages don't yet have them, but an electric car charger would be useful (payable of course). However we knew there wasn't one so we planned accordingly - it would just be more convenient to charge overnight. But absolutely loved the place, would highly recommend and would stay here again.

Hayley May 2022

“Beautiful cottage in the woods which feels extremely remote and quiet but sufficiently close to civilisation to not be a problem in getting anywhere.”

Nick was amazing throughout our stay, very helpful and friendly and provided a lovely Prosecco treat and specifically catered to our non-dairy needs with the milk provided. We loved our stay and would definitely stay again. Helpful tips for other people staying: 1. Take some indoor slippers as the cottage has a beautiful oak floor which is polished/waxed/cleaned before your stay. In bare feet or socks we found it to be very slippery especially then using the tiled bathroom floor so would recommend indoor footwear that is safe for the floors. 2. If you are not confident using tiny Devon lanes it may not be for you as the approach is single track and near working farmland. We are very used to such roads but had some interesting moments with tractors but handled easily but I know some people don't like using such roads. Also if your car has low suspension the final part of the track may be a little problematic for you.

“The cottage was just incredible!”

Very quiet and beautiful spot! We had amazing week off away from everything! A lot of attraction within an hour drive such as Eden project, lost gardens of Heligan and quite a lot of National Trust walks/coastal walks. Karen and Nick were lovely, always there if you need them but without bothering you. The property had lovely living room, very nice bedroom with comfy bed and kitchen had everything we needed. We are already looking to go back next year.

Arrie December 2021

“Nick & Karen are both lovely hosts, the location of the cottage is beautiful.”

Plenty of trails to walk around and explore. The cottage itself is lovely, modern but still has that rustic feel to it. Very clean inside and we felt like it was our own little home whilst we was there with the log burner on. The hottub was like the icing on the cake and was a perfect little way to relax in the evenings after going for a nice walk along the streams that run through the woods. Plenty of history in the area but overall a amazing stay, will definitely be coming back here in the summer. Didn't want to leave!

- Arrie, December 2021
Nick December 2021

“We absolutely loved staying here, very tranquil!”

The cottage has everything you could need for a relaxing week away from it all. We really enjoyed the hot tub especially with the colour changing lights in the evening and the steam rising into the still night air. The wood burning stove is great to chillax in front of and you can quite easily get lost in the flames for a while. There’s also a very big and really really comfy bed which sent us of to la la land in no time at all, we slept so well. Great owners too we will be back Thanks for having us Nick and Steph

- Nick, December 2021
James October 2021

“Had a great week in this fabulous cottage.”

It has everything you could hope for. If I were to offer any constructive criticism it would be that the seating in the living area wasn't as comfortable as it could have been. This didn't detract from this cottage being great in every other respect, from the quality of the accommodation, the big comfortable bed, great shower and roll-top bath. The kitchen was well equipped, with everything you would need. And a fantastic hot tub, which was great for relaxing in after a busy day. Nick was very helpful on our arrival and his directions were perfect.

- James, October 2021

“Rock View is the perfect place for peace and tranquility.”

It’s a beautiful little cottage with high standards of cleanliness and much thought given to make a stay as enjoyable as possible. Very comfy beds with high quality linen. Bonus is the position right on the Tamar Trials, and with a hot tub what more could you want. It’s just perfect.

- Christopher, December 2019
Alexander November 2019

“We came here for a retreat to work on music and art.”

From the start Nick & Karen were helpful and made us feel welcome. The tranquility of the cottage with the beauty of the surrounding woods (misty this time of year) was inspiring. The cottage sits right on the beginnings of trails that take you through enchanting woods. The cottage is also very thoughtfully laid out, without excess, but all that we needed. We really rate this place highly, thanks to Nick & Karen and we hope to return one day.

“Great location - rural and peaceful - just what we needed to get away from our busy lifestyle!”

Beautiful cottage that blends into the surrounding woodland. Super comfy bed. Hot tub out of this world. Lots of extras including a bottle of bubbly and the fire ready made up for us. Hosts were fantastic on arrival and nearby for any queries, but left us to enjoy our holiday. Lots of local information provided for local walks and attractions. Stunning walks around the area and market town of Tavistock. Will definitely be returning. A five star holiday guaranteed!

- Donna, July 2019
Lisa July 2019

“The cottage was equipped with everything we needed for our stay.”

The cottage was beautifully decorated and in an ideal location for walks through the woods and to the Tamar Trails centre. Also a short car journey to the shops in Tavistock and to plenty of fun activities and attractions. Having our own private hot tub was great and just what we needed after a long day. We hope to book again the next time we are choosing a holiday in Devon.

“This holiday was amazing and the cottage really made it for us.”

It's so cosy and perfect for all of the seasons. Huge hot tube for 2 people which is so relaxing especially when the surroundings are so peaceful.

Beyond the garden, acres of woodland and the Tamar Trails for walking/cycling; activity centre (tree-surfing) and café, around 20 minute walk.

Nearest pub, 1½ miles. From terrace at the front, ceiling-high, glazed bi-fold doors into living/dining room (woodburner, TV/DVD, iPod dock); smart kitchen (slimline dishwasher, combi-microwave, fridge, electric oven/gas hob).

Double bedroom (6' zip-linked bed or twin).

Bathroom (suite with roll-top bath plus hand-shower, separate shower).
