“This property is superbly located for accessing Dartmoor and the surrounding areas.”

It is very close to the charming town of Bovey Tracey but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. The apartment is finished to a high standard, spotlessly clean and well-equipped. The hosts are incredibly kind and thoughtful; we felt very much at home. We will definitely return.

“Lovely place to stay for a great family holiday.”

Andy and Charmaine were excellent hosts, the homemade scones and fresh milk and eggs were a lovely surprise. The property was clean and excellently maintained and in the ideal location. The property itself is in beautiful surroundings but there is so much to do within easy reach. We'll definitely be back. Thank you!

Peter July 2024

“We stayed 4 nights at The Mews with our Springer Spaniel Penny.”

Andy and Charmaine were excellent hosts. Very approachable, and the property was stunning. Couldn't not think of anything we needed, everything was provided. Would go again and recommend for anyone else to go. Lovely touches with the scones, fresh creams and fresh eggs.

- Peter, July 2024
Lisa July 2024

“Charmaine and Andy were lovely.”

Nothing was too much trouble. We arrived and it was beautiful, not only were we impressed with the cottage and its amenities, but we were welcomed with a tin full of scones, homemade jam in the fridge with milk and fresh eggs for breakfast. What more could you ask for. Just fantastic. We will definitely be coming to stay again. Big thankyou to Charmaine and Andy. xx

Anna June 2024

“We had a superb 5 night stay.”

The property was well appointed, comfortable and a real home from home. The hosts are excellant. Attentive, friendly, professional and quick to respond to any queries we had. The location is fab. It feels so rural and peaceful yet you are a short drive to a decent pub and nearby towns. We enjoyed our stay so much we have already booked a return visit. I would recommend this property to family and friends without question.

Corinna April 2024

“Had an amazing stay at the Mews and would love to go back again.”

Warm welcome with smiles from the owners and lots of information and scones with clotted cream and jam. Owners are very helpful and friendly. The Mews is fully equipped and spotlessly clean, the photos don't do it justice, and it's perfect for exploring Dartmoor and nearby Torquay and beaches. My daughter loved feeding the lambs on site with farmer Geoff, who was brilliant with her. Cannot fault the mews and it's owners who went out of their way to make our little break memorable. Thank you so much. Can't recommend the mews highly enough.

- Corinna, April 2024

Thank you so much for this fabulous feedback. It was a pleasure having you here. Andy and I take a great pride in The Mews and don't just see it as a business, our reward is meeting great guests like yourselves Please thank Thea and Oscar for the beautiful picture We would love to see you return and maybe experience some sunny beach days Property Owner
Jan March 2024

“We had a lovely stay at the Mews.”

A very warm welcome from Andy and Charmaine - home-baked scones (delicious), helpful tips on the apartment and local area and friendly chats through the week. The apartment was really comfortable and kitted out with all we needed. Great location surrounded by nature (lots of bird varieties, cute lambs and sheep and we even saw a couple of fawns on the lane early one morning!), close enough to Bovey for shops and activities and a short drive to Dartmoor for wilder exploration.

- Jan, March 2024
Bruce March 2024

“Owners on site ,very warm and welcoming.”

Fiona December 2023

“We stayed at the Mews while visiting family in the area for Christmas.”

The annexe was very comfortable, immaculately clean and welcoming - and it was very well equipped. Andy and Charmaine went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay, including putting up Christmas decorations and very kindly baking us a Christmas cake! The Mews is close to local amenities and well situated for lots of great local walks which our two dogs absolutely loved. Thanks again for being so welcoming Andy and Charmaine! We hope to be back again soon.

- Fiona, December 2023

It’s a beautiful accommodation, and very well equipped, and tastefully decorated. Very comfortable and relaxing, with fantastic views and centrally based to get around the surrounding areas with ease.

Owen October 2023

“We had a wonderful week at The Mews .”

The property was very clean and well furnished. The bed was comfortable and the views were nice. The owners lived next door and are friendly without being obtrusive. Milk and scones with cream and jam were in the apartment when we arrived. Fresh vegetables were given to us and was a wonderful gesture. We would be happy to return.

- Owen, October 2023

Hi, thank you for your kind feedback It was lovely chatting over the fence and we would love to have you stay again Thank you for leaving it so clean and tidy Property Owner
Hayley September 2023

“We had a fantastic stay at The Mews, the property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped.”

Charmaine and Andy were very friendly and welcoming and the homemade scones and jam was a lovely surprise. The freshly picked tomatoes and cucumber also went down a treat! Would definitely recommend.

- Hayley, September 2023
Nicola September 2023

“The couple that run this lovely property are lovely, very kind and helpful.”

The property is spotlessly clean and done up to a very high standard! One of the best we’ve stayed in! When we want to explore Dartmoor again, we will be back! I cannot recommend this little idle more highly!

David September 2023

“Superb accommodation in a tranquil location.”

Owners very friendly but not intrusive. Welcome pack including scones and clotted cream went down well! Weather was awful ( a months rain in one day!) but always nice to get back to accommodation and relax. Thank you Charmaine and Andy for a lovely week.

- David, September 2023

Thank you for your kind feedback So pleased you enjoyed your stay despite the weather Property Owner
Janine September 2023

“The property was very well maintained and was really comfortable.”

The owners were very nice and scones were delicious. The downside for us was that the garden was not fully enclosed and not allowing the dogs to wee or poop in the garden was a bit unusual. We book cottages twice a year with gardens, for the ease of taking dogs. The latter element drives the rating given.

- Janine, September 2023

Hi Janine Thank you for your comments and we are sorry you found it constricting for your dogs. We prefer to keep the lawn excrement free in view of the fact we have guests with young children, often playing on the grass. This is why we invite guests to use the grassy lane adjacent to the garden Thank you for visiting with us and take care Property Owner
Candyce August 2023

“A wonderfully clean and well equipped apartment.”

A very friendly, kind and generous welcome from our hosts, Andy and Charmaine! A beautiful and peaceful setting, a real home from home.

Gareth August 2023

“Brilliant cottage, great location to access seaside towns and Dartmoor.”

Hosts were fantastic and kind to leave us with treats on arrival and some delights from the garden through the week. Their gardens are immaculate and the duck pond next door was the highlight for our two year old. Would definitely stay here again.

- Gareth, August 2023

Hi Gareth Thankyou for your kind feedback We would love to have you back Property Owner
Joanne July 2023

“Lovely cottage in a lovely, quiet place but only a short drive into Bovey Tracey.”

A real home from home and the owners (who live next door) Andy and Charmaine are perfect hosts. We had a cream tea, fresh eggs and milk awaiting us in arrival and so an excellent start! The beds are comfy and the linen and towels are sumptuous. The kitchen has all you need including a full size fridge freezer and dishwasher. We will definitely be back.

- Joanne, July 2023

Thank you so much Would love to see you again Property Owner
Michelle July 2023

“The Mews is situated on a smallholding and surrounded by countryside.”

It is set in a very tranquil setting. The apartment itself is exceptional and tastefully decorated with everything that you need. Charmaine and Andy are exceptional hosts and very welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed the home made scones, clotted cream and jam and also the fresh eggs. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at the Mews. Thank you both.

- Michelle, July 2023

You were very welcome Property Owner
Anthony June 2023

“WOW!! What a fantastic apartment, well equipped and spotlessly clean,this is down to the owners Andy and Charmaine”

. Beautiful cream tea on arrival and fresh eggs from their chickens. Located on a small holding and close to all of Devon's attractions.I highly recommend the Mews and will certainly be back.

- Anthony, June 2023

Thank you so much Would love to see you again x Property Owner
Terry June 2023

“We had a lovely week at the Mews.”

All the facilities were first class, the bed and the sofas were very comfortable. Our hosts were available to help with questions and suggestions and there was a very helpful list of local amenities provided. We would have no hesitation in recommending the Mews to anyone visiting south Devon So full marks from Alison and Terry Jenner!!

Samantha April 2023

“What a wonderful find .”

... This property is really special - situated in a tranquil setting but not far from all the local amenities. The hosts go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. Everything within the cottage is of high quality and well thought out. A great welcome pack which includes fresh eggs from their own chickens ..... Delicious! Thank you Andy and Charmaine look forward to seeing you again soon !

- Samantha, April 2023

Thank you for your kind feedback. Andy and I love to hear that our guests have had a lovely stay. Please come again Property Owner
Thomas April 2023

“My friend and I stayed in The Mews for 7 nights and I have to say we had a wonderful time!”

I hope to stay here again. The house was clean and comfortable and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. The house is well equipped and there is a lovely fireplace which we used most nights. The house is a comfortable temperature anyway without using the fireplace. A very modern bathroom and a modern country house feel throughout the property. The house stands on at an excellent location, set back from the main roads and amongst a pleasant farm. Bovey Tracey is nearby. My friend and I visited Dartmoor National Park on every day of the trip. The views from the main bedroom window are lovely, looking over green space where wildlife can sometimes be seen. I hope to stay here again.

- Thomas, April 2023
Roger April 2023

The accommodation has everything that you need and that included scones, jam and cream, milk and eggs. Charmaine and Andy are excellent hosts.

- Linda, November 2022

Thank you Linda for the positive feedback. Would love to see you return x Property Owner
Helen October 2022

“We had a great 5 days at The Mews and found it to be comfortable with everything we needed.”

Andy and Charmaine are friendly and very hospitable but not intrusive. The apartment was warm with plenty of hot water and very quiet. Our visit was in mid October and being keen walkers we found the location handy for coast and moor. On a clear night the stars are amazing as this is a dark sky area.

- Helen, October 2022

Thank you both for the positive feedback. Much appreciated how clean it was left. Would love to see you again. Property Owner
Alan September 2022

“Four adults and one dog enjoyed a very comfortable week in The Mews.”

Andy and Charmaine were very friendly and welcoming but didn’t crowd us at all. The Mews is in a good location and feels remote enough to be peacefully quiet but only 15 mins away from Bovey Tracey and shops. Ducks and geese were our neighbours! Ideal for a recharging holiday. Nice and clean, very warm with plenty of hot water. The outside tap is a real bonus for washing muddy paws after walkies. Dog leg-stretching a little bit limited without walking down the lane but Andy mentioned plans to expand the fenced area which would give dog-guests more space to roam. He also offered to dog-sit if we wanted to go out, which although we didn’t need to take advantage of this time is still really appreciated. Lovely fresh scones (huge!), a pot of jam and clotted cream awaited us on arrival which started our Devon holiday in the best way. We look forward to our next visit!

- Alan, September 2022
Ronald September 2022

“We have been to many cottages over the past 15 years and would rate this as one of the best.”

Geoffrey September 2022

“We absolutely loved the Mews.”

Extremely comfortable and relaxing place to be. Andy and I Charmaine are lovely people. They even left us scones, jam and clotted cream on arrival. Very welcoming and friendly straight away and lovely to talk to. We would recommend this destination one hundred percent. Many thanks to Andy and Charmaine for a great experience.

“Excellent stay from start to finish.”

Owners are extremely welcoming and friendly and go out of the way to make sure you are welcome and have everything you need. Accommodation is excellent, spotless, best nights sleep in a long time in the comfortable beds. Location is lovely and not noisy despite being on a working farm. Great for exploring the local sights of which there are many. Would highly recommend. A+++
