“Church Gate Cottage is a lovely cottage, well furnished with everything that you might need for your stay.”

The local village is also very pleasant, with a very good pub and shop.

“Fantastic property, in a fab location.”

Did not want to leave! Inside cottage is beautifully appointed and spot less an amazing place to spend Christmas.

“The description of the cottage was spot on, but the experience actually went way beyond that as I don't think I've seen another cottage that was quite so clean and immaculate, and with all the details obviously so carefully thought through and very well explained.”

A lovely "off the beaten track" village too, still complete with shop/PO, pub, school and church. The only thing which it lacked - for me - was the usual small collection of books (fiction) to read! (But then there was every conceivable Ordnance Survey map, including a really useful personalised one with Bridestowe at the centre...).

“The cottage was very well equipped, warm and comfortable.”
Mrs Kitchen September 2019

“We took our two dogs and were shocked that there was no garden, which was not made clear in the description.”

Dogs need to relieve themselves first thing in the morning and last thing at night especially, and they had to be taken to the field whereas at home they can just go into the back garden. The cottage itself was lovely, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped, although we did find the bed a little low. We do feel that if a cottage is being advertised to accommodate dogs, it should be made clear whether there is a enclosed garden with the cottage. In our case, we had two days of solid rain and my husband had to take the dogs to the field, which wasn't far, but badly needed cutting.

“We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at Church Gate Cottage in Bridestowe - what a find!”

The cottage was extremely well equipped with good quality items throughout, furnished with comfortable sofas, chairs and beds, the kitchen and bathroom were well thought out, plenty of storage in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, everything has been thought of for the visitors and their four legged friends. The icing on the cake for us was that it was so clean and immaculate on arrival and therefore we immediately felt at home and quickly settled into the cosy cottage. We had no problems parking near to the front door and there are excellent dog walking areas really close to the cottage, one has lovely views over to Dartmoor which was uplifting on my early morning walk with our dog. Bridestowe is a very friendly village and the well stocked village store and the pub are a short walk from the cottage. We enjoyed the many National Trust properties that are in the area - Castle Drogo, Saltram, Cothele, Buckland Abbey and Lydford Gorge - all of them dog friendly and have lovely estate walks to enjoy. The Granite Way and West Devon Way are also about a mile of the cottage. There is a large stock of maps, information leaflets, dvds and games in the cottage, and the cottage instruction file is excellently presented and very clear to follow, the owners have kindly left the instruction books for all the kitchen equipment too. There is a super farmshop at Lifton plus great fish and chips in Okehampton (Graylings), Tavistock, Plymouth and Okehampton are also interesting places to visit.....we will definitely be back to explore this lovely area more. The only negative we could find was that we had to return home. We would thoroughly recommend Church Gate Cottage.

“The cottage was very well equipped, cosy, clean and the location was ideal for access to the main A30.”

It was in a lovely village which had a great pub and a nicely stocked shop. Would definitely use the cottage again in the future.
Mrs Ross October 2018

“The cottage and location was absolutely fabulous.”

The cottage was spotless and meticulously thought out for comfort for guests and our dogs,treats,leads,bowls and poo bags!!! Just everything you needed and more. Beautifully decorated and light for an old cottage. Loved the village and residents extremely friendly. It was great to be in a real,unspoilt village whereby it is still a working,mainly residential area with diverse residents and facilities. I really hope it stays this way and that the holiday industry doesn't take over and ruin the dynamics and positive feel. The church next door is beautiful and the residents had draped poppies on the arch and church tower,amazing. There is a magnificent stained glass window. Local pub and shop great and good long walks straight from cottage up over the moor. We will return, highly recommend cottage .
Mr Hearn September 2018

“Church Gate Cottage in the small village of Bridestowe is in an ideal location to explore Dartmoor and also in easy access to coastal resorts of Instow, Appledore and Bude.”

The cottage is very well equipped, in pristine condition throughout with the owners attention to detail second to none. There was even a book detailing the history of the cottage.We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and relished talking to the locals who made us feel very welcome. Having a lovely village pub and village stores 100 yds away was a bonus! If you are looking for a base to explore Dartmoor, Devon and even Cornwall look no further than Church Gate cottage.
