    “Had a very pleasant five day stay at the laundry cottage.”

    Area was great for exploring Dartmoor and surrounding villages. The cottage was very quiet and the grounds were great to walking the dog. Unfortunately there was a problem with the hot water supply which Chris the owner kept us updated about however it did mean that we only had warm water for a couple of hours a day. Also we did find the sofa bed uncomfortable as the main seating in the living room

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to hear that, overall, you enjoyed your stay at The Old Laundry. We are sorry that you experienced an issue with the hot water during your visit. Following a thorough investigation, we identified the cause as a fault with the heat pump, and we are pleased to confirm that this has now been fully resolved. We would like to reassure future guests that this issue has now been addressed. Property Owner

The property

North of the Dartmoor National Park, located on an idyllic woodland estate and working farm, is this renovated detached cottage, set on the fringes of North Tawton.

This charming property has a traditional take on its décor with modern utilities throughout, and would suit a small group of friends or a couple.

At the front of the property, there is a hallway, cloakroom, and utility room, so the larger appliances such as the freezer and washing machine are neatly tucked away, leaving you more living space in the other areas.

Going through to the open-plan kitchen, dining area and sitting space, you will find wooden features and classic furnishings, with the sofa facing the wall-mounted TV and the woodburning stove for those chilly evenings.

There is a king-size double bed in one room, with another bedroom across the way hosting a single bed.

The bathroom is sleek and compact with everything you need to begin your day right, starting with a hot shower in the walk-in shower cubicle, as well as a basin and WC.

There are acres of pretty woodland surrounding the property, but you may want to chill-out in your own space which is why it also has a patio with seating for those balmy summer evenings.

The property is located just a 15-minute drive away from the A30, so you can easily venture out into Cornwall and Devon for a wider selection of tourist attractions and activities on offer.

Why not visit the town next door, Okehampton, which is host to a number of attractions such as the Museum of Dartmoor Life which is responsible for bringing community activities, events and exhibitions to life in the area and providing tourist information for North Dartmoor.

Of course for those seeking a thrill, you can travel over to a popular spot in the national park, Hound Tor, and have a go at some bouldering and climbing activities.

The Old Laundry is a home-away-from-home for you and your friends.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
