Tregona

Our second visit to this cottage and wasn't disappointed.

Very well maintained in lovely little enclosed garden, that's perfect for our little dog. The village is delightful with local pub serving good food. All locals very friendly. James the owner of Tragona is such a lovely guy and always on hand if needed. Thank you James for another great week at your lovely little cottage.

This was our second stay at Tregona, and just as lovely, if not better than the first.

First class accommodation and communication. We were very late booking (same day) and the owners called to reassure all would be ready for us. We didn't go far, happy to mooch around the village, have a few pints in the pub (you will always get a very warm welcome), and just relax. There really is no better place to do this, in my opinion, a perfectly peaceful sanctuary on Dartmoor, just bliss. We hope to return again.

A super secluded retreat.

Completely tucked away behind the church, the approach to Tregona is a little inauspicious but once in, it is a real delight - spacious, comfortable, well equipped and cleverly designed to maximise the space. The enclosed garden actually is one (too often dog finds a gap, but not here), and it was lovely to sit out listening to the church bells. James was a very helpful host, coming round promptly to fix an issue with the tv. Highly recommend.

Tastefully modernised and decorated home with lots of space in a beautiful quiet village with many wonderful walks right from the doorstep.

Many attractions within easy driving distance. We enjoyed exploring glorious Devon in perfect summer weather. Would go again.

We had another lovely two weeks at Tregona , everything was clean and comfortable.

Looking forward to our next visit. Thanks to the owners for the lovely welcome

Great place had a lovely stay with my dog

It is such a comfortable and cosy cottage, with everything we needed.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay .

The owners are really good hosts . I would highly recommend this place to stay . Very relaxing and peaceful:

We had an amazing stay at Tregona.

The property was much more spacious than we expected, and was very well equipped. Comfy bed and sofa, and very peaceful. Safe and secure garden for our dog!! We always managed to park either just outside the church or by the school, so didn't find this a problem and the pathway to the cottage really not that far for luggage etc. The village itself is a delight, as are the locals. Fantastic local pub, lovely walks in and around the village, and last but no least the sound of the church bells. We will be back for sure.

We really enjoyed our second stay in this property.

There are a few minor repairs to be done inside the house. Access after dark is tricky and so perhaps some better lighting to the path and steps on the way into the house could be achieved? Older visitors might really struggle with this. The property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped.

A return trip to Tregona as we were so happy the first time we stayed.

Clean, comfortable, spacious, a quiet and private location. The bed is super comfy. We slept so well.

Excellent everything was of a high standard and exactly as promised.

We had another lovely two weeks at Tregona, it is in a good location and there is everything you need in the cottage, lovely and clean and well equipped.

Looking forward to our next stay

We had a fantastic time staying at this well equipped and comfortable cottage.

We would highly recommend and look forward to staying again in the future.

We both had a really lovely stay at Tregona.

Beautiful place and village, very quiet and relaxing, lovely big garden and the bed was super comfy. The local pub only a 1 minute walk away was amazing, lovely home cooked food. Beautiful views of Dartmoor and only a short drive to Tavistock which was also great to explore. Our dog loved it too and everywhere was really dog friendly, we can’t wait to come back again soon!

Well what can we say amazing doesn't cover it.

We are so relaxed and ready to come back. Our first break away at Christmas I was very apprehensive about going away that time of year. The cottage is amazing We spent most of our time curled up on the sofa. Everything is at the cottage you can possibly need. Just take yourself some clothes and food you won't want to leave. We didn't the garden area is lovely and quiet we had a few visitors a lovely cat. Squirrels and a Robin. James and Mary have a little gem in Tregona you won't regret booking. I have read that people have had issues with the path way. Yes it's a bit dark on public path but the cottage outside lights are more than adequate. My husband is disabled with problems with his mobility he managed the pathway fine with a little extra care. This little gem set in a stunning friendly village is a must go and visit. The pub is lovely and friendly and is really close to property. Thank you everyone we met there for making us welcome. Shame we didn't get to meet James and Mary. But that just shows you how well everything is maintained and all you needs and requirements are met. Thank you so much James and Mary from the bottom of our hearts 5** be back again next year. Jimmy and Heidi

Absolutely wonderful property for a relaxing stay.

Located in the lovely village of Buckland Monachorum, perfect for those who enjoy Dartmoor and the surrounding villages/towns and even Plymouth City. There is no dedicated parking but we didn’t find this to be an issue during our stay & the bus that comes into the village is very handy for those not wanting to always drive. The pathway is mentioned in previous reviews but actually it was managed by an elderly gentleman with limited mobility - just had to take it easy and as with any stay in the countryside bring a torch/head torch as the pathway is dark up until you reach the propertys perimeter and automatic lighting comes on. I Would definitely recommend as had such a lovely stay, the friendly owners are willing and so helpful in answering all of the questions I had prior to our stay too. We will be back! Thank you.

Very clean and cosy very well equipped could do with a light on the path up to house at night

Been here a few times always the same lovely cottage, there is everything you need there , comfortable and clean .

There are lovely walks and places to visit . We will be back next year.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tregona.

It was very clean, spacious, well equipped and in a very peaceful location. An ideal location for visiting Dartmoor with plenty of walking nearby and places to visit.

I wouldn't recommend this place at all

A superb compact cottage in this oh so friendly village and good to know our curious GSD was safe in the fully secure garden.

It was also an excellent base for exploring the many highlights that can be found on Dartmoor.

Had a wonderful week here, ,garden is lovely and secure .

Will be booking again

Great place to stay in a delightful location close to Dartmoor and estuary walks.

Comfortable, modern and clean. Owners nearby but unobtrusive, and were very thoughtful and helpful when needed. Parking outside neighbouring church. Would happily stay there again.

Lovely cottage for our short break.

Very convenient for the church and inn.

We Had a wonderful 3 night stay at Tregona it exceeded our expectations for cleanliness & comfort.

There was tea & coffee available with fresh milk in the fridge & ice cubes ready for the hubby's beer! This idealic & peaceful location was just what we needed to take time to chill. Our Sproker Archie was in his element playing in the enclosed garden where he was very content in finding a new stick daily over playing with his toys!. There was an information pack full of local amenities and places to visit, which was very helpful. We went all over the moors, Burrator reservoir, Crazy Well pool where my husband had a swim, Batten Bay & Sutton Harbour, Enjoyed a fantastic meal in the Drakes Manner Inn where Archie enjoyed his doggy icecream. Everything you could possibly want/need was available at Tregona, I could go on & on. Lots of memories made & we can't wait to book up again. Thank you so much we really had a lovely time & didn't want our break end.

Tregona was everything we hoped for and more, light, bright,spacious,well equipped and spotlessly clean.

The garden was a bonus for our westie and we never had a problem with parking. I would say that the location is good for visiting Dartmoor, Plymouth and NT properties so all in all really ideal for us. Would we stay again? yes absolutely. . We never had a problem with parking

Had a lovely break, the cottage had everything you needed.

It was spotlessly clean, the bed was comfortable, and it was peaceful. Instant response from James when we asked if we could get in earlier. We will definitely book again for next year

Cottage is lovely and comfortable, in a good position for walking only downside is the parking, very limited space on road and if you can’t park when you arrive, rather a long walk with luggage

We had the best time staying at Tregona!

The accommodation was clean and comfortable with lovely quality towels and bed linen. The cottage was so well equipped we wanted for nothing. The dog loved the garden which was very secure. The setting is picturesque and the local walks are stunning. The pub was seconds away and the food was gorgeous and the takeaway fish and chips were yummy! Our hosts were friendly and contacted us via email so were there but not at all intrusive. We will definitely go again and will be recommending to friends and family!

The shower did not work.

I can't recommend Tregona highly enough.

..we had the most wonderful stay. It's position in the village is so central but tucked away in its own beautiful spot behind the church. A completely enclosed and safe back garden perfect for our little dog...also a beautiful garden to relax in for us too. The property it's self has everything you need and more to make you feel right at home....so much so we found it hard to leave and ended up staying longer than planned ☺️. Beautiful walks from your doorstep, a fantastic pub just minutes away and the most kind and considerate hosts you could wish for. A little gem that I'm so glad we discovered. Thank You!

Lovely cosy accommodation, home from home , this was our first holiday with our dog , lovely walks nearby and near to Dartmoor was a bonus.

The garden was very secure for him . We would definitely use again , thank you

Super clean, spacious and comfortable, Tregona was well equipped with everything we needed.

An enclosed and very private garden for a relaxed drink or meal. A most enjoyable stay. Highly recommended.

Extremely happy no issues an enjoyable week

We had a lovely week and thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and village.

The Drake Inn was excellent.

A beautiful secluded cottage in a beautiful village & so near the church for sunday service & the inn for delicious food & a drink in the beer garden with friendly people.

We had a lovely holiday in Tregona which compensated for the poor weather.

The cleaner had done a great job and everything was pristine. The property is well equipped. We loved the light open space of the rooms and appreciated the enclosed garden for our dog. The bed was comfy and we slept so well in the quiet hideaway. It really is a perfect retreat. We hope to come back soon.

TREGONA is a gem of a find.

Great place to stay in a lovely village. James the owner is so friendly and helpful, I couldn't work the hob, and as soon as I contacted him he was there, showed me how to work it nothing was too much trouble, Great guy. The accommodation is spotless and well equipped, with everything you need. The photo of the exterior is a little off-putting but don't let that put you off, the enclosed garden is safe to let the dogs out, knowing that they can't get out. It truly is a great place to stay and we would highly recommend it. Thank you for a fantastic week, James in Tregona.

We loved our stay at Tregona, especially the comfy bed, fluffy towels and very well equipped kitchen.

The shady enclosed garden was 100% secure for our dog. Everyone we met was very friendly, and we would recommend the local pub (which was also very dog friendly). The only small issue was loading the car in the pouring rain when we were leaving - it was about 50 yards from the property. We enjoyed many lovely walks from the cottage and would definitely recommend Tregona.

The cottage is clean, in a nice village, with a pub very close by.

Lovely location and a great, spacious property that was very well equipped.

The sofa's were a little too soft and low for me to get very comfortable but this minor point is the reason for not giving straight 5's in the marks. Lot's of useful information provided by the hosts, with many good walks in the area. It was a shame our dog had to be on the lead most of the time but this was due to lot's of sheep with lambs, and ponies with foals. The local pub, less than 100yards away, served great food and was very friendly. We would highly recommend the property for a Dartmoor holiday.

An unusual building but in a very private location, nicely converted and spacious.

The bed was very comfortable and the large TV in the bedroom is a bit of luxury. The bath is situated under Velux windows, so a treat to soak in and stare up at the blue sky and trees. The village itself is great, with a flourishing pub within stumbling distance and set within Dartmoor itself. I appreciated a call from James the owner, to let me know the property was ready for me earlier than the 3pm check in. I had an enjoyable tranquil stay. I personally found the airfreshner product unpleasant, completely overwhelming and unnecessary...in fact it had it's own mini break, in the garden, during my stay! Other than that I really enjoyed my time at Tregona.

This was a delightful little cottage…light and spacious, clean with efficient equipment and well equipped.

I would be very happy to recommend it and would use it again.

This is an amazing place well equipped with everything close to hand.

It's quiet and secluded in one of the best areas on the moors. We enjoyed our stay here, Flossie our border collie loved the walks on the many public footpaths surrounding the property.

Lovely cottage tucked away behind the church.

We enjoyed the peace and quiet. The cottage is extremely well equipped, the owners have thought of absolutely everything. The bed was so comfy with lovely crisp white bedding. Our little dog enjoyed herself too, there were some biscuits for her and dog bowls. The village is very pretty and we enjoyed a meal at the pub which is a very short walk from Tregona.

Lovely property perfect for two, very enjoyable short break in beautiful area.

Nice touch leaving breakfast things and unexpected bonus having Prime on the TV to watch the rugby!

Owner very attentive regarding entry and exit timings.

Lovely gesture of breakfast waiting for us thank you

Very enjoyable stay, the only minor comment is there is no lighting in the lane up to the cottage so we would advise people to take a torch.

Tregona is not a 'cottage' It stands in what was the grounds of the old village school and I suspect it was either a school hall or extra classrooms.

It is a concrete framed building with infill walls, and subjectively it is not the most attractive looking of buildings from the outside. However the conversion to residential accomodation has been done really well. There are only three rooms, a very large living room/dining room/kitchen area. A large bathroom with toilet/bath and separate shower and a good size double bedroom. It was pleasing that any temptation to squeeze another bedroom in was avoided and the whole accomodation as not cramped. There are no ceilings as such, the rooms are as high as the apex of the roof, lending itself to the light airy feel, but making for a noisy time in heavy rainfall, there was a very large thunderstorm while we were there. There is more than enough crockery and kitchen ware for two people, meaning you can fill the dishwasher before needing to use it. Outside there is a garden area with patio table and chairs, but a downside is none of the windows overlook any sort of view of the surrounding area. Location wise, it is in the centre of the village and a very short walk to the pub. It is also fairly central for a lot of attractions and a short drive from the main Plymouth-Tavistock road. If you are looking for chocolate box pretty, this may not be for you, but we thoroughly enjoyed our week in the cottage and the village.

Really lovely cottage - light, bright and airy.

Very peaceful with a lovely garden to enjoy - great for our doggie too !

This short break was organised in haste, therefore we had concern about the quality and standard of accommodation available.

Thankfully this anxiety proved needless. Thank you.

Lovely cottage, very clean and well kept.

Beautiful location. The Landlords were very kind and helpful with anything we needed. The cottage has everything you need to make you feel at home including dishwasher and a washing machine plus all other handy appliances. Very comfy sofas and TV both in the living room and bedroom. The only tiny thing is that the mattress was too soft for our liking, we prefer a firmer mattress but it might be perfect for other people. There was parking right next to the cottage which was really good as well and a pub right around the corner. We had a meal there and it was delicious and the staff very friendly. Definitely recommend the stay.

We were very pleased with the cottage and it's facilities, but we were very surprised when we found that the kitchen bin had not been emptied or cleaned out.

We were also a bit surprised at how many cobwebs there are in the cottage. Having said that, we will be booking to come back next year.

Perfect cottage lovely village tucked away on the edge of Dartmoor.

Such thoughtful owners. Everything has been thought of to make you feel at home in their delightful cottage. Great pub a stones throw away. Good ale and excellent food. Would recommend the scotch eggs. Thank you for our enjoyable stay.

This cottage is lovely!

Everything you could need and very spacious too with a lovely garden. Completely private in a small pretty village with a pub serving excellent food, I would definitely recommend it!
