    “Bluebell Cottage is a beautiful cottage and every bit as lovely as the photos.”

    From the kitchen and dining area you look across open fields. It was just me and my dog and we found plenty of walks locally in addition to exploring Dartmoor. Sarah is a wonderful host and very helpful. I loved the little touches of fresh daffodils around the house, milk in the fridge and a cake. I definitely want to return.
