“We had an amazing stay at Tregona.”

The property was much more spacious than we expected, and was very well equipped. Comfy bed and sofa, and very peaceful. Safe and secure garden for our dog!! We always managed to park either just outside the church or by the school, so didn't find this a problem and the pathway to the cottage really not that far for luggage etc. The village itself is a delight, as are the locals.

- Julie, October 2024

Dear Julie Thank you so much for the lovely feedback and we are so glad enjoyed your stay at Tregona. We very recently changed the sofas, following a few comments about the previous ones, and so are thrilled that you found them comfy. Also we will pass on your comments about the Drake Manor Inn to Mandy & her staff. Many thanks again James & Mary Property Owner
Susan October 2024

“We really enjoyed our second stay in this property.”

There are a few minor repairs to be done inside the house. Access after dark is tricky and so perhaps some better lighting to the path and steps on the way into the house could be achieved? Older visitors might really struggle with this. The property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped.

- Susan, October 2024

Hi Susan, we are so glad you enjoyed your return visit to Tregona & Buckland Monachorum. We have tried to tackle the lighting outside with motion sensor lights where we can but a section of the path is out of our control and so we can’t get lighting there. We are very aware about the access and when asked about accessibility we make it very clear that it’s not perfect. We hope the tranquility of the tucked away location made it worthwhile. Also we are going to be tackling repairs during the quiet season when there are fewer bookings, we have recently replaced the mattress & sofas after comments. Thank you again and maybe you will return. Property Owner
Caroline September 2024

“A return trip to Tregona as we were so happy the first time we stayed.”

Clean, comfortable, spacious, a quiet and private location. The bed is super comfy. We slept so well.

- Caroline, September 2024

Hi Caroline, thank you so much for the lovely feedback and we are so happy you enjoyed your return visit, despite the weather. We are pleased too that the new mattress was comfy, we do try and keep on top of everything to help make everyone’s stay as enjoyable as we possibly can. Take care & maybe we will welcome you back again one day. James & Mary Property Owner

We would highly recommend and look forward to staying again in the future.

Chelsea April 2024

“We both had a really lovely stay at Tregona.”

Beautiful place and village, very quiet and relaxing, lovely big garden and the bed was super comfy. The local pub only a 1 minute walk away was amazing, lovely home cooked food. Beautiful views of Dartmoor and only a short drive to Tavistock which was also great to explore. Our dog loved it too and everywhere was really dog friendly, we can’t wait to come back again soon!

- Chelsea, April 2024

Hi Chelsea, We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Tregona and thank you so much for the lovely feedback. The Drake Manor Inn really is a treasure and we are so lucky to have such a wonderful pub in the village. We do hope you return some day and explore more of the wonderful Dartmoor countryside. Take care James & Mary Property Owner
Heidi December 2023

“Well what can we say amazing doesn't cover it.”

We are so relaxed and ready to come back. Our first break away at Christmas I was very apprehensive about going away that time of year. The cottage is amazing We spent most of our time curled up on the sofa. Everything is at the cottage you can possibly need. Just take yourself some clothes and food you won't want to leave. We didn't the garden area is lovely and quiet we had a few visitors a lovely cat. Squirrels and a Robin. James and Mary have a little gem in Tregona you won't regret booking. I have read that people have had issues with the path way. Yes it's a bit dark on public path but the cottage outside lights are more than adequate. My husband is disabled with problems with his mobility he managed the pathway fine with a little extra care. This little gem set in a stunning friendly village is a must go and visit. The pub is lovely and friendly and is really close to property. Thank you everyone we met there for making us welcome. Shame we didn't get to meet James and Mary. But that just shows you how well everything is maintained and all you needs and requirements are met. Thank you so much James and Mary from the bottom of our hearts 5** be back again next year. Jimmy and Heidi

- Heidi, December 2023

Dear Jimmy & Heidi, Thank you so very much for the lovely feedback following your stay and we are so glad you enjoyed your first Christmas alone in a while and that the access proved not to be a problem. We are thrilled you liked our little pub, it is quite special, and got to chat with a few of the locals. We hope to meet you both next time if you do decide to return. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Jessica December 2023

“Absolutely wonderful property for a relaxing stay.”

Located in the lovely village of Buckland Monachorum, perfect for those who enjoy Dartmoor and the surrounding villages/towns and even Plymouth City. There is no dedicated parking but we didn’t find this to be an issue during our stay & the bus that comes into the village is very handy for those not wanting to always drive. The pathway is mentioned in previous reviews but actually it was managed by an elderly gentleman with limited mobility - just had to take it easy and as with any stay in the countryside bring a torch/head torch as the pathway is dark up until you reach the propertys perimeter and automatic lighting comes on. I Would definitely recommend as had such a lovely stay, the friendly owners are willing and so helpful in answering all of the questions I had prior to our stay too. We will be back! Thank you.

- Jessica, December 2023

Hi Jessica Thank you for the lovely feedback, it really is appreciated. We are so glad that the location and accommodation worked for you both. We do hope you are able to return sometime soon and continue with your exploration of the local area. Take care James & Mary Property Owner
Pat October 2023

“Very clean and cosy very well equipped could do with a light on the path up to house at night”

- Pat, October 2023

Hi Pat Thank you so much for you kind feedback. The path up to Tregona is not in our ownership and therefore we have no control over that short stretch of path. Hopefully the automatic lights came on once you opened the main gate. Take care James & Mary Property Owner
Maureen October 2023

“Been here a few times always the same lovely cottage, there is everything you need there , comfortable and clean .”

There are lovely walks and places to visit . We will be back next year.

- Maureen, October 2023

Hi Maureen, Thank you so much for coming back to Tregona and for your lovely comments. We look forward to welcoming you back next year. Take care James & Mary Property Owner
Helen October 2023

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tregona.”

It was very clean, spacious, well equipped and in a very peaceful location. An ideal location for visiting Dartmoor with plenty of walking nearby and places to visit.

- Helen, October 2023

Hi Helen We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Tregona and were able to visit some of Dartmoor’s treasures. Take care James & Mary Property Owner
Joan September 2023

“I wouldn't recommend this place at all”

- Joan, September 2023

Hi Joan, I’m sorry that the weather was bad enough during your stay that you decided to leave early. When you rejected our offer of compensation and countered with a higher figure, which we declined to meet, you mentioned that you were taking legal advice. Your comments about not being able to operate the oven and heating could have been sorted in moments, as you are aware when you raised the issue of the locked hob. We hope that any future hard earned holidays you have are filled with sunshine. Take care, James Property Owner
Nancy September 2023

“Had a wonderful week here, ,garden is lovely and secure .”

Will be booking again

- Nancy, September 2023

Hi Nancy, Thank you so much for the positive feedback and we are glad you had a great time. We made sure the garden was dog proof and secure for dogs of all sizes. Take care James & Mary Property Owner
Nigel September 2023

“A superb compact cottage in this oh so friendly village and good to know our curious GSD was safe in the fully secure garden.”

It was also an excellent base for exploring the many highlights that can be found on Dartmoor.

- Nigel, September 2023
Kate August 2023

“Great place to stay in a delightful location close to Dartmoor and estuary walks.”

Comfortable, modern and clean. Owners nearby but unobtrusive, and were very thoughtful and helpful when needed. Parking outside neighbouring church. Would happily stay there again.

- Kate, August 2023

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Tregona and we are glad would help when needed. Although we are nearby we try and leave all visitors to enjoy the seclusion & privacy that the property enjoys. We look forward to you returning at some time. Take care James & Mary Property Owner
Patricia July 2023

“Lovely cottage for our short break.”

Very convenient for the church and inn.

- Patricia, July 2023

So many thanks for your kind feedback and we are glad the location worked for you. Hopefully all went well too. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Tracy June 2023

“We Had a wonderful 3 night stay at Tregona it exceeded our expectations for cleanliness & comfort.”

There was tea & coffee available with fresh milk in the fridge & ice cubes ready for the hubby's beer! This idealic & peaceful location was just what we needed to take time to chill. Our Sproker Archie was in his element playing in the enclosed garden where he was very content in finding a new stick daily over playing with his toys!. There was an information pack full of local amenities and places to visit, which was very helpful. We went all over the moors, Burrator reservoir, Crazy Well pool where my husband had a swim, Batten Bay & Sutton Harbour, Enjoyed a fantastic meal in the Drakes Manner Inn where Archie enjoyed his doggy icecream. Everything you could possibly want/need was available at Tregona, I could go on & on. Lots of memories made & we can't wait to book up again. Thank you so much we really had a lovely time & didn't want our break end.

- Tracy, June 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, it really does mean a great deal to us. We are so pleased too that your expectations were exceeded and that all the information we have provided added to your experience. The Drake Manor Inn is a great pub, we are very lucky to have it in the village. We look forward to welcoming you again sometime. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Tracey June 2023

“Tregona was everything we hoped for and more, light, bright,spacious,well equipped and spotlessly clean.”

The garden was a bonus for our westie and we never had a problem with parking. I would say that the location is good for visiting Dartmoor, Plymouth and NT properties so all in all really ideal for us. Would we stay again? yes absolutely. . We never had a problem with parking

- Tracey, June 2023

We are so glad you had a lovely time at Tregona, that your westie enjoyed the garden and that you were able to explore all that this area has to offer. We do hope you decide to return and explore some more. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Dawn June 2023

“Had a lovely break, the cottage had everything you needed.”

It was spotlessly clean, the bed was comfortable, and it was peaceful. Instant response from James when we asked if we could get in earlier. We will definitely book again for next year

- Dawn, June 2023

Oh goodness, thank you and we are looking forward to seeing you, and your lovely dog, again next year. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Maureen May 2023

“Cottage is lovely and comfortable, in a good position for walking only downside ...”

Cottage is lovely and comfortable, in a good position for walking only downside is the parking, very limited space on road and if you can’t park when you arrive, rather a long walk with luggage

- Maureen, May 2023

Hi, sorry you found the lack of allocated parking a problem. It’s often worse at school drop off & pick up times but we are aware it’s not always convenient. Anyway we are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Miriam April 2023

“We had the best time staying at Tregona!”

The accommodation was clean and comfortable with lovely quality towels and bed linen. The cottage was so well equipped we wanted for nothing. The dog loved the garden which was very secure. The setting is picturesque and the local walks are stunning. The pub was seconds away and the food was gorgeous and the takeaway fish and chips were yummy! Our hosts were friendly and contacted us via email so were there but not at all intrusive. We will definitely go again and will be recommending to friends and family!

- Miriam, April 2023

Oh goodness, thank you for the lovely review. We look forward to you returning with your lovely dog soon. Take care, James, Mary & Honey the dog Property Owner
Sally April 2023

“The shower did not work.”

- Sally, April 2023

Hi Sally, we are sorry about the shower, we have now replaced the mechanism having been made aware it was very stiff to operate. Take care, Property Owner
Tracey January 2023

“I can't recommend Tregona highly enough.”

..we had the most wonderful stay. It's position in the village is so central but tucked away in its own beautiful spot behind the church. A completely enclosed and safe back garden perfect for our little dog...also a beautiful garden to relax in for us too. The property it's self has everything you need and more to make you feel right at home....so much so we found it hard to leave and ended up staying longer than planned ☺️. Beautiful walks from your doorstep, a fantastic pub just minutes away and the most kind and considerate hosts you could wish for. A little gem that I'm so glad we discovered. Thank You!

- Tracey, January 2023

What a lovely bit of feedback, thank you. We hope you were able to achieve everything you had planned during your visit. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Sharon October 2022

“Lovely cosy accommodation, home from home , this was our first holiday with our dog , lovely walks nearby and near to Dartmoor was a bonus.”

The garden was very secure for him . We would definitely use again , thank you

- Sharon, October 2022

We are so glad you enjoyed your first holiday with your dog and were able to discover the magic of Dartmoor. We look forward to welcoming you back sometime soon. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Caroline September 2022

“Super clean, spacious and comfortable, Tregona was well equipped with everything we needed.”

An enclosed and very private garden for a relaxed drink or meal. A most enjoyable stay. Highly recommended.

- Caroline, September 2022

Thank you so much and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again if you plan to return. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner

- Keith, August 2022

Thank you, we are really glad you enjoyed your stay and that there were no issues and we hope to see again soon. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Deborah August 2022

“We had a lovely week and thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and village.”

The Drake Inn was excellent.

- Deborah, August 2022

Thank you so much for your feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your stay and that the Drake Manor Inn served you well. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Susan July 2022

“A beautiful secluded cottage in a beautiful village & so near the church for sunday service & the inn for delicious food & a drink in the beer garden with friendly people.”

- Susan, July 2022

We are very happy that the cottage worked for you and that you were able to enjoy what the village has to offer. Maybe you will consider a return visit in the near future. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Gaynor July 2022

“TREGONA is a gem of a find.”

Great place to stay in a lovely village. James the owner is so friendly and helpful, I couldn't work the hob, and as soon as I contacted him he was there, showed me how to work it nothing was too much trouble, Great guy. The accommodation is spotless and well equipped, with everything you need. The photo of the exterior is a little off-putting but don't let that put you off, the enclosed garden is safe to let the dogs out, knowing that they can't get out. It truly is a great place to stay and we would highly recommend it. Thank you for a fantastic week, James in Tregona.

- Gaynor, July 2022

Dear Gaynor, thank you for your comments and feedback and we are so glad you were able to make the most of your time in Tregona. Maybe we will see you again and the hob won’t play up next time. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Peter June 2022

“We had a lovely holiday in Tregona which compensated for the poor weather.”

The cleaner had done a great job and everything was pristine. The property is well equipped. We loved the light open space of the rooms and appreciated the enclosed garden for our dog. The bed was comfy and we slept so well in the quiet hideaway. It really is a perfect retreat. We hope to come back soon.

- Peter, June 2022

Many thanks for your lovely comments. We are sorry we don’t have control over the weather but that you were able to make the most of your time in Tregona despite the rain. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Robert June 2022

“We loved our stay at Tregona, especially the comfy bed, fluffy towels and very well equipped kitchen.”

The shady enclosed garden was 100% secure for our dog. Everyone we met was very friendly, and we would recommend the local pub (which was also very dog friendly). The only small issue was loading the car in the pouring rain when we were leaving - it was about 50 yards from the property. We enjoyed many lovely walks from the cottage and would definitely recommend Tregona.

- Robert, June 2022

Thank you for your kind comments. We changed the mattress following a few comments and so we are glad it has been noticed. We are sorry about the walk to the cottage from the parking but there is nothing we can do about it. The Drake Manor Inn is a real gem and the village is very lucky to have a proper dog friendly pub with great food. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Zillah June 2022

“The cottage is clean, in a nice village, with a pub very close by.”

- Zillah, June 2022

Thank you, we are very proud of our little village with its pub & church just on the edge of glorious Dartmoor. Take care & we hope you will return sometime. James & Mary. Property Owner
Stephen June 2022

“Lovely location and a great, spacious property that was very well equipped.”

The sofa's were a little too soft and low for me to get very comfortable but this minor point is the reason for not giving straight 5's in the marks. Lot's of useful information provided by the hosts, with many good walks in the area. It was a shame our dog had to be on the lead most of the time but this was due to lot's of sheep with lambs, and ponies with foals. The local pub, less than 100yards away, served great food and was very friendly. We would highly recommend the property for a Dartmoor holiday.

- Stephen, June 2022

Thank you so much for your informative feedback, we have taken the comments about the sofa on board. We are so glad you were able to make the most of the information we have provided and that the Drake Manor Inn lived up to its well deserved reputation. If you return we can easily point you in the direction of good off lead walking areas. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Sarah And Andrew April 2022

“An unusual building but in a very private location, nicely converted and spacious.”

The bed was very comfortable and the large TV in the bedroom is a bit of luxury. The bath is situated under Velux windows, so a treat to soak in and stare up at the blue sky and trees. The village itself is great, with a flourishing pub within stumbling distance and set within Dartmoor itself. I appreciated a call from James the owner, to let me know the property was ready for me earlier than the 3pm check in. I had an enjoyable tranquil stay. I personally found the airfreshner product unpleasant, completely overwhelming and unnecessary...in fact it had it's own mini break, in the garden, during my stay! Other than that I really enjoyed my time at Tregona.

- Sarah And Andrew, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated and apologies for the air freshener which is now on a permanent break away Property Owner
Susan March 2022

“This was a delightful little cottage…light and spacious, clean with efficient equipment and well equipped.”

I would be very happy to recommend it and would use it again.

- Susan, March 2022

Hi Susan, thank you so much for your positive comments and we would be delighted to welcome you again sometime. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Shaun March 2022

“This is an amazing place well equipped with everything close to hand.”

It's quiet and secluded in one of the best areas on the moors. We enjoyed our stay here, Flossie our border collie loved the walks on the many public footpaths surrounding the property.

- Shaun, March 2022

Thank you for your kind feedback, it is really much appreciated Property Owner
Jenny January 2022

“Lovely cottage tucked away behind the church.”

We enjoyed the peace and quiet. The cottage is extremely well equipped, the owners have thought of absolutely everything. The bed was so comfy with lovely crisp white bedding. Our little dog enjoyed herself too, there were some biscuits for her and dog bowls. The village is very pretty and we enjoyed a meal at the pub which is a very short walk from Tregona.

- Jenny, January 2022

Thank you for your feedback, it is really appreciated Property Owner
Alison November 2021

“Lovely property perfect for two, very enjoyable short break in beautiful area.”

Nice touch leaving breakfast things and unexpected bonus having Prime on the TV to watch the rugby!

- Alison, November 2021

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay, sadly the previous guests have now deleted the Prime access but glad you were able to benefit from their oversight. Take care, James & Mary. Property Owner
Nicola October 2021

“Owner very attentive regarding entry and exit timings.”

Lovely gesture of breakfast waiting for us thank you

- Nicola, October 2021

Thanks so much. Due to a change in cleaners we can no longer provide breakfast but hopefully the extra effort our new cleaners bring will be appreciated. Take care, James & Mary. Property Owner
Mike September 2021

“Very enjoyable stay, the only minor comment is there is no lighting in the lane up to the cottage so we would advise people to take a torch.”

- Mike, September 2021

Thank you so much for your nice comments. We have now had sensor lights put on the cottage which should make it a bit better in the dark but we strongly recommend a torch for all guests. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Martin September 2021

“Tregona is not a 'cottage' It stands in what was the grounds of the old village school and I suspect it was either a school hall or extra classrooms.”

It is a concrete framed building with infill walls, and subjectively it is not the most attractive looking of buildings from the outside. However the conversion to residential accomodation has been done really well. There are only three rooms, a very large living room/dining room/kitchen area. A large bathroom with toilet/bath and separate shower and a good size double bedroom. It was pleasing that any temptation to squeeze another bedroom in was avoided and the whole accomodation as not cramped. There are no ceilings as such, the rooms are as high as the apex of the roof, lending itself to the light airy feel, but making for a noisy time in heavy rainfall, there was a very large thunderstorm while we were there. There is more than enough crockery and kitchen ware for two people, meaning you can fill the dishwasher before needing to use it. Outside there is a garden area with patio table and chairs, but a downside is none of the windows overlook any sort of view of the surrounding area. Location wise, it is in the centre of the village and a very short walk to the pub. It is also fairly central for a lot of attractions and a short drive from the main Plymouth-Tavistock road. If you are looking for chocolate box pretty, this may not be for you, but we thoroughly enjoyed our week in the cottage and the village.

- Martin, September 2021

Thank you for your comprehensive feedback and yes, you are right about it being an extension building to the old school. Hopefully you will return and will be able to enjoy the wonderful walks around Dartmoor followed by a meal & drink in the Drake Manor Inn. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Lucy August 2021

“Really lovely cottage - light, bright and airy.”

Very peaceful with a lovely garden to enjoy - great for our doggie too !

- Lucy, August 2021

We are both so glad you enjoyed your stay in Tregona and that your doggie had a lovely time too. Hopefully you will think about returning sometime soon. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
David April 2021

“This short break was organised in haste, therefore we had concern about the quality and standard of accommodation available.”

Thankfully this anxiety proved needless. Thank you.

- David, April 2021

Thank you and we are so pleased you weren’t disappointed. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Alicia April 2021

“Lovely cottage, very clean and well kept.”

Beautiful location. The Landlords were very kind and helpful with anything we needed. The cottage has everything you need to make you feel at home including dishwasher and a washing machine plus all other handy appliances. Very comfy sofas and TV both in the living room and bedroom. The only tiny thing is that the mattress was too soft for our liking, we prefer a firmer mattress but it might be perfect for other people. There was parking right next to the cottage which was really good as well and a pub right around the corner. We had a meal there and it was delicious and the staff very friendly. Definitely recommend the stay.

- Alicia, April 2021

Hi Alicia, sorry to take so long to respond but just to let you know that during a quiet period at Tregona we have replaced the mattress with a firmer one. The company we used actually supplied the one we replaced, for the previous owners, and did comment that it was definitely past its best. Thank you for highlighting this matter for us. Take care & stay safe, James & Mary Property Owner
Catherine October 2020

“We were very pleased with the cottage and it's facilities, but we were very surprised when we found that the kitchen bin had not been emptied or cleaned out.”

We were also a bit surprised at how many cobwebs there are in the cottage. Having said that, we will be booking to come back next year.

- Catherine, October 2020

Thank you for your feedback. As a result of a few similar comments we have now changed the cleaning company and we, along with our guests, are thrilled with the results. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
Christine September 2020

“Perfect cottage lovely village tucked away on the edge of Dartmoor.”

Such thoughtful owners. Everything has been thought of to make you feel at home in their delightful cottage. Great pub a stones throw away. Good ale and excellent food. Would recommend the scotch eggs. Thank you for our enjoyable stay.

- Christine, September 2020

Thank you ever so much for the kind comments. We are glad you discovered the scotch eggs at the Drake Manor Inn, once eaten, never forgotten. We hope to see you back at Tregona sometime soon. Take care, James & Mary. Property Owner
Lyn August 2020

“This cottage is lovely!”

Everything you could need and very spacious too with a lovely garden. Completely private in a small pretty village with a pub serving excellent food, I would definitely recommend it!

- Lyn, August 2020

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the feedback. Take care, James & Mary Property Owner
