    “We had such a lovely holiday at Rose Cottage.”

    The description and photos are exactly what is to be expected. My 2 year old son loved the hot tub, and feeding the fish in the pond. So much character at the cottage. The owners have spent money and love getting it to such a standard. The only thing that took us time to work out was the hob, so perhaps an information sheet regarding instructions how to use as well as a central heating guide . A cosy cottage with the fire at night which we supplied our own fuel, was nice relaxing way to unwind ...

Great location to explore surrounding area, as well shops close to the cottage to buy supplies. Thank you for letting us stay at your cottage.

About the location

OKEHAMPTON

Exeter 23 miles.

Okehampton is a busy market town on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park and near the highest and most dramatic areas of the moor, where Yes Tor rises to a height above 2000 feet. To the north of Okehampton are some beautiful rolling Devon hills where small farming villages nestle amidst woods and fields with plenty of gently flowing rivers. The fabulous Roadford Reservoir offers a multitude of watersport activities and fishing opportunities. Okehampton has a prominent medieval castle overlooking a wooded river valley, the Museum of Dartmoor Life and Okehampton train station, which has been restored to its 1950s glory: The Dartmoor Line now operates a service between Okehampton and Exeter every hour, 7 days a week. The town also has access to fabulous walks and Simmons Park where you’ll find a children’s adventure playground. This area of Devon has plenty of farm shops and country inns serving good food where visitors can spend time relaxing and unwinding amongst unspoilt countryside.
