Pond Cottage

We had an enjoyable stay at Pond Cottage but for us the big down side to the property was its location.

Very peaceful but very remote, it took 30 minutes to get off the moor and with the traffic on the ordinary roads it took another one and a half hours to get to the coast. We ended up doing a minimum 4 hours driving every day and we didn't realise just how narrow the roads are on the moor. The cottage was nice but the internal staircase was steep and with the lighting they were not easy to see where the edge of the steps were. We used the outside steps more than the indoor ones. The holiday was ok but for us it will not be one to return to.

As a returning guest I can confirm I’ve never experienced such peace and quiet and comfort as I have at Pond Cottage :)

Pond Cottage is a cosy, well equipped cottage in a very peaceful part of Dartmoor.

It is a great base for hiking. Communication with the hosts was excellent. We will definitely come back in the future

The property is located perfectly for exploring the Widecombe area of Dartmoor.

It has a great layout (particularly after coming in from a long walk) and a good sized enclosed garden. It is very comfortable and well equipped, with plenty of space to relax.

We would certainly recommend Pond Cottage and Dartmoor to our friends and family.

The cottage beautiful, and was one of the best equipped holiday homes that we have ever been to. The welcome pack was a lovely bonus, especially the delicious marmalade. The weather was very kind to us, perfect for getting out and about on the Moors. We enjoyed Widecombe, visiting the craft market, and eating out at The Cafe on the Green and The Old Inn. Hope to return again soon. Ange and Steve Waters. (Evesham, Worcs.)

Pond Cottage is the perfect base for walking holidays in Dartmoor.

The Cottage is extremely well equipped and is furnished with great taste and high quality furniture. The fireplace was a welcome feature after a day of liquid sunshine on the Moor. We felt at home right away in this cosy Cottage and would come back again and recommend it to our friends.

Great cottage in a peaceful location.

Practical, thoughtfully furnished and extremely comfortable. Wonderful base for exploring Dartmoor and surrounding area.

A beautiful cottage well equipped and very generous welcome hamper.

A very comfortable bed and plenty of hot water in the roll top bath, great for relaxing after a long walk. The wood burner made the cottage feel very cosy on a wet night.

Beautiful cottage.

Lovely location. Gorgeous garden. We cannot fault anything!

Wonderful cottage in the middle of Dartmoor.

Best base camp for a lot of tours!

We absolutely loved Pond Cottage.

Although the pictures and details show the 2 flights of stairs we did find them a little challenging when loaded with shopping. Whilst the second bedroom was clearly set up for children we would be very reluctant to recommend children under 9 staying, only because of the stairs. Having said all that it really is a lovely lovely property to stay in. Thank you.

A lovely cottage with everything we needed and a great sized garden for the dogs.

A beautiful location with great walks close by.

This was my second three-week stay at Pond Cottage and I just didn't want to leave!

In the heart of Dartmoor with fabulous walking from the door, Pond Cottage is ideally located. The owners clearly love their home and supply it with all that one could need. They are responsive, caring and made me feel welcome on both of my stays there. Pond Cottage is very comfortable and provides all one could want for a fantastic vacation on Dartmoor. I hope to be back!

Perfect in every way .

The standard of the property and everything in it cannot be faulted - it’s clearly much loved by the owners . Without doubt the most comfortable cottage we have stayed in - the setting is fabulous and sets you up for a relaxing holiday.

What a fantastic cottage!

We had a wonderful week staying in Pond Cottage. It was, without a doubt, the most comfortable and best-equipped holiday cottage we have stayed in and a great base to explore Dartmoor. Lots of space and games/ books and well equipped kitchen to keep you occupied if the weather stops you from getting out. Owners very helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

A wonderful property with everything you could possibly need and lovely owners.

I can see why it’s always booked up!

This is a good cottage and we had an enjoyable stay.

Thank you. The pictures in the brochure don't do the listing any favours. The cottage was much nicer that I expected.

What a lovely property, everything you could need for a great stay.

Off the beaten path but easy access to the whole of Dartmoor and a short hop to Widdecombe in the moor. An under counter freezer so you can stock up before arrival. A nice dog proof garden and you’ll have more sheep and cattle passing the front door than cars. If you are there on a clear night do take the chance to look at the stars. If you are considering this property then it ticks a lot of boxes for you, then look no further book it. A lovely property that is obviously cared for and loved by its owners. Book it

Property perfect, location wonderful.

The welcome food package was a delight. Couldn't fault the holiday. Would happily return

An amazing holiday that was perfect in every way.

Pond Cottage is the perfect location if you want to travel and explore the area. We even spent 2 days travelling to South Devon and then North Devon beaches for comparison. The rest of the time we explored the local Dartmoor area which was vast. In 7 days we still have lots more to do and would not hesitate to return back. Pond Cottage had such a welcoming feel just like a home away from home. The cottage is exactly as per description plus more. The attention to detail was outstanding and they have thought of everything for a weeks stay. We will return and highly recommend. Thank you so much

A lovely cottage, well positioned within Dartmoor for those who love walking and outdoor life, being off the beaten track somewhat.

Extremely well equipped and comfortable. Loads of pubs nearby for evening meals. One of our best ever holidays.

We loved staying at Pond Cottage.

We really liked the furniture and how well considered the furnishings were. We have stayed in lots of different cottages in Dartmoor and this was one of the nicest. The kitchen was great to use and really spacious. We also loved hearing the owls calling every night and popping out onto the landing to check for stars.

It is clear this is a well loved property by the owner.

The neighbour introduced himself, let us know he’d be of help should be ever need it, and he gave us a little welcome basket. The property was clean and well maintained. The shower in the en-suite was lovely, well needed after a muddy day waking! We really enjoyed our stay.

Excellent all round, very comfortable and well looked after by the owners.

It's not often that a cottage exceeds expectation but Pond Cottage certainly did. Great location as well, very central for exploring all of Dartmoor... would not hesitate to book again if planning to visit Dartmoor in the future....

Lovely cottage.

Really well equipped and comfortable. Ideal for exploring Dartmoor. Great for dogs with a stone floor entrance hallway with underfloor heating and access to a nice enclosed garden. We.would thoroughly recommend.

I had a marvelous three weeks at Pond Cottage located in the middle of Dartmoor National Park.

The location was perfect and I was able to do some walks right from the door of the cottage. The converted farm building is a delight with some original features but fully modernized with everything you could want for a really comfortable vacation. The owner was responsive and the neighbors lovely. Can't recommend it highly enough :)

Stunningly gorgeous, very comfortable and very well equipped cottage.

Fantastic location for walking. Friendly and helpful owners. We had an amazing time and didn’t want to leave.

The cottage was really comfortable and clean, with lot's of added extras, so much thought had gone into the holiday experience.

A beautifully appointed cottage with everything you could possibly need.

Well thought out, cosy, comfortable and very quiet. The welcome basket of bread, milk etc, was very welcome and all local produce. Unfortunately, we couldn't make the most of the large garden due to the weather behaving!

Pond Cottage is absolutely beautiful.

It has been kept to the highest standard. The cottage was very well equipped and we received a lovely welcome package. We were more remote than expected but soon adjusted to this but if you want a quiet spot in which to enjoy Dartmoor, Pond Cottage is perfect. The local pubs both served delicious food.

Very smartly appointed, stylish and comfortable cottage deep in Dartmoor.

Everything in decor, furnishings and equipment new or in excellent condition. The welcome pack was delightful, comprising eggs, milk, bread, butter etc., all locally sourced. Easy to walk from the cottage to Widdecombe (45 mins) where a typical English village awaits with at least 2 excellent restaurants/pubs. Lots of other walks in the near neighbourhood if you want something more upwards and strenuous.

We wanted to thank you both for having us - we had a fantastic time in Dartmoor, and your cottage really made it for us.

It is perfectly located for walkers and so comfortable and beautifully decorated. We loved it. The extra touches really make a cottage stay, the garden herbs, some cheese in the fridge but also the cookbooks and candles available for use.
