    “Very comfortable house in a quiet location with all the amenities you could think of!”

    Lovey big garden is ideal for the dogs. Property is 5 minute drive into the moors so ideal if this is why you are visiting the area, loved Tavistock were lucky enough to be here for the goose fair. Plymouth marina and the mayflower museum definitely worth a visit. Pub and shops just a few mins walk from house.. only slight downside is late check in time of 5pm as most properties we have visited have been 3pm at latest but we were permitted to leave our bags earlier which we did appreciate ...
