“Lovely cottage with access to large field.”

Very welcoming owners who were not intrusive. The cottage was so well equipped and comfortable

Very welcoming owners who were not intrusive. The cottage was so well equipped and comfortable

- Dr Staite, August 2019
“Carlsberg don't make holiday cottages, but if they did it would be Dial House Cottage.”

This was probably THE best equipped cottage we have EVER stayed in. Maps of the local area and further afield, recommendations for where to eat in the locality, a kitchen full of every kitchen tool you might possibly need (all too often we've discovered that the kitchen has a very blunt knife, a rolling pin, and a bowl too small to really do anything with). Would definitely recommend this cottage as an ideal base to explore North Dartmoor on foot.

- Ms Purdom, May 2019
“Had another lovely week at Dial House Cottage - our ninth annual visit - so think that says it all!”

! This really is one of the best self-catering cottages in a delightfully quiet corner of Chagford. Pam and Colin are such caring and delightful people and always anxious to know if anything is not right.

- Mr Bates, May 2019
“The cottage, the location and the owners were perfect.”

We have been to many dog friendly holiday cottages but this one surpassed them all for our needs. Would highly recommend.

- Mrs Clark, April 2019
“Really well located cottage.”

Peaceful. No noise, yet close enough to town. Really well equipped and comfortable cottage

- Mrs Saker, August 2018
“Lovely location and the owners were so kind and welcoming.”

We had a lovely restful holiday in August and the cottage was everything we could have wished for. Thank you so much for allowing us to use it. Apologies for our runaway!

- Mrs Huthart, August 2018
“We had a wonderful week at Dial House cottage, very clean, a peaceful location,and friendly helpful owners .”

The cottage had everything you could want or need, if I was to be 'picky' the settee and chair are beginning to feel a little tired but this in no way affected what was a lovely week.

- Mr Parsons, June 2018
“Mr and Mrs Gibbs provide the best holiday cottage we have hired and we have hired many.”

You want for nothing in the cottage and it is extremely comfortable. The location is fantastic for exploring Dartmoor and the cottage is set in a very peaceful and beautiful setting. Mr and Mrs Gibbs are kindness themselves and they are there if you need them or not if you don't. As far as we are concerned, you should model your business on the standards of this holiday let. Sue Gordon and Angela Matthews.

- Mrs Gordon, May 2018
“This is our eighth visit to Dial House Cottage.”

Pam and Colin are delightful people and always extend an extremely warm welcome - plus checking after our first night that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They are always on hand should we require anything - but do not intrude in any way. We brought a friend with us this year and she could see immediately why we keep coming back. A delightful property in a perfect location. Once again we had a wonderful stay.

- Mr Bates, May 2018
“Lovely, get-away-from-it-all location without sacrificing convenience and comfort.”

Chagford is a short cycle ride away and has plenty to offer to families and their dogs. The cottage has good wifi, a large conservatory entrance to store coats, wellies etc utility plus loo and kitchen with space for dog crate. The well-kept field will keep the hound happy. Pam and Colin are excellent hosts and National Trust members will discover lots to visit nearby.
