“The views from the cottage are far better than the pictures on the website suggest, it was stunning.”

The kitchen is tiny, but surprisingly well equipped and the accommodation comfortable and cosy, the hosts welcoming and helpful but also left us to our own devices. A great location (whatever the weather!) for exploring Dartmoor. Looking forward to returning in the future.

“We had the most pleasant and relaxing week at Kestorway, the finishing touches made all the difference, Bone China, lovely soft towels, lovely bedding and very comfortable bed, The added extras left were a lovely treat, eggs, flowers, chocolates, milk etc.”

.. We went out walking every day and the walks and views were just stunning, also lovely sunsets out of the lounge window were stunning, I would highly recommend Kestorway for a quiet relaxing stay, but if you want a corner shop and all local facilities on your doorstep this may not be for you as the nearest shop is 3 miles away
Mrs Albrecht June 2019

“It was my second time in Kestorway .”

.. and I will come a third time, that's for sure ... Jim and Pauline are so friendly, the cottage is wonderful equipped in a wonderful area, I love it!
Mr Dean June 2019

“If you want or need to get away from it all, this is the place for you!”

Right on the edge of the moors with fantastic views. The twisting lane up from Chagford is a bit of a challenge but taken with care its not a problem. The accomadation is spotless clean nicely laid out and perfect for two. Large windows give a lot of light and great views. Great walks right on your doorstep. Do try the fantastic pubs in town!
Mr Wyld May 2019

“Everything was wonderful - the light, airy, beautifully equipped accommodation, the setting, the birdsong, the peace and tranquility, and the VIEWS!”

Jim and Pauline are lovely people, along with their dog, cats, and rescued chickens (which lay gorgeous eggs). The locality is awash with neolithic stone circles, stone rows, hut circles, etc which we found fascinating. Chagford's marvellous, a place of real character, with probably the finest church we've ever seen. Anyone wanting to 'get away from it all', and not fazed by very narrow winding lanes, will surely love it here! Roger Wyld.
Mr Shulver May 2019

“We have stayed at Kestor several times and each time we have had a lovely holiday.”

Pauline and Jim are always helpful and we look forward to our next visit in such a special place.
Mrs Horton May 2019

“Very comfortable cottage and we were made to feel very welcome.”

We will be going back. Best cottage so far for taking a dog.
Mrs Nejman April 2019

“Fantastic place to stay, with walks right on the doorstep!”

The owners were exceptionally helpful and made me feel extremely comfortable! Will definitely be going back, as it was extremely safe for my anxious dog, we both had a blast!
Miss Hurst March 2019

“The ownersare extremely friendly and very helpful if your for a relaxing holiday in a rurual setting you wont get better than this, they are the most dog friendly place ive ever been which helped both me and my dog to be settled and feel as comfortable as we do at home.”
Mr Mahony September 2018

“Walking straight onto the moor.”

“Absolute gem, heaven on earth”

Having stayed in holiday cottages in many parts of the country Kestorway tops the list, it is an absolute gem. The setting of the cottage could not have been bettered with walks directly from the garden gate onto the moors with Kestor Rock a short walk away with its magnificent views. The owners Pauline and Jim are the most welcoming hosts with nothing being to much trouble to ensure your holiday needs are met at all times. Their advice regarding places to visit was invaluable and their knowledge of the area unbelievable. In all the perfect cottage and location.
