    “Very lovely cottage in a fantastic setting.”

    It's a great base to either relax in or to explore Dartmoor and North Devon. Linda and Kevin are very friendly and helpful and have obviously put a lot of time and effort into their properties. Having access to the river from the orchard was a real treat. The only downside for us was the speed of the traffic past the house. We very much enjoyed our time there.
