“Claire and Lee were fantastic hosts.”

Little Week cottage is an idyllic cottage, set in a beautiful rural setting. The cottage was beautiful, well laid out, a home from home.

“We so enjoyed our stay at Little Week Cottage.”

We felt relaxed the moment we arrived. Wonderful setting and atmosphere. Claire was very welcoming and the cake and fresh eggs were much appreciated and enjoyed! The cottage is extremely comfortable and we had everything we needed. The weather wasn’t the best but that didn’t matter as the cottage is perfectly situated for most of Devon and East Cornwall so we just followed the better weather. Loved the ducks and all the well fed wild birds! Already trying to work out when we can return!

“A perfect getaway with perfect hosts.”

Quiet, pretty, convenient for days out to Dartmoor or the coast, North or South. A very pretty garden to sit in and enjoy the abundant birdlife and listen to the chickens and ducks. Being disabled I suggested the installation of a grabrail by the shower, it was in place the following day! A wonderful holiday.

“Absolutely loved our stay here.”

Clare and Lee were very friendly and made us very welcome. The cottage is lovely and the bedroom is a good size. Cottage was absolutely spotless and not a cobweb in site!! You can really tell that Clare and Lee have pride in their business. The location is also great being on the edge of Dartmoor and near to Okehampton. It’s so quiet and we were delighted to see a Great Spotted Woodpecker on the bird feeder most mornings. I would highly recommend this cottage and would absolutely love to stay again.

Robin June 2022

“What a lovely place to stay!”

Down a quiet country lane in deepest Devon, with the occasional passing tractor to remind us that we had left suburbia and were on a different planet, as we sat with a beautiful view up to Dartmoor, surrounded by chattering birds feeding off the feeders, amazed by the attractive garden, and debating which pub to visit this evening. BEWARE - Devon shuts on Mondays. But then, its a different time scale. Enjoy.

“By ticking ' exceeding expectations' this suggests we do not have a very high opinion of Helpful Holidays!”

In fact, we know from decades of using the agency that what they say about a property is always accurate & that regular checking happens during the season. This year we had opportunity to speak with our landlady & she also finds the agency consistent & supportive.

“Wow what a fantastic place Little week cottage is, what a gem.”

Lee and Clare the owners were great, friendly and helpful but without being intrusive. They made us feel very welcome right from the first day. We had a few welcome gifts on arrival which was thoughtful and appreciated. We had an amazing week at the cottage. The view from the garden was stunning. The surroundings and local places to visit were nearby. The cottage is a perfect base to explore Dartmoor and it is not too far to nip over into Cornwall. Our dogs had a fabulous time too and were made to feel welcome. They loved exploring the garden and surrounding areas we visited. The cottage had everything you will need to make your stay amazing. We didn’t want to leave. We can highly recommend staying at Little week cottage.

Jacqueline November 2018

“What a wonderful cottage!”

I was worried that it was too close to the A30 as the crow flies but all I could hear was birdsong and the wind in the trees. So comfortable and cosy. Kitchen had everything we could want, and more. Lovely, modern bathroom. Spacious bedroom, comfortable bed, warm bedding. Loved the log burner. We didn’t have good weather but enjoyed days hunkered down with the fire on, just resting. Thank you!

Sally July 2018

“We had a wonderful time at Little week cottage, it was so quiet and peaceful.”

We particularly enjoyed being in the private garden with views of Dartmoor and just watching the birds. The location was excellent, it felt like the middle of nowhere but Okehampton was about 20 minutes away, the A30 even closer. There were plenty of shops in Okehampton, and lots of things to do nearby, including places to eat (very good food). We had planned to make lots of day trips, but it was so lovely, most days we just walked from the cottage.

- Sally, July 2018
Richard July 2018

“Little Week Cottage was even better than expected, the way it was finished off inside and the attention to detail was very good.”

Having the owners next door was not known when we booked but was in no way an issue, actually made it feel more personal. We would recommend the cottage to anyone and may well book it again ourselves in future.
