“Just back from a very enjoyable week at Fairmead.”

A warm welcome was received from the owners. Property is small but very well equipped. A lovely base to explore Dartmoor and the surrounding area. Thank you Andy and Margaret for a lovely stay.

“Location of this property was perfect if you were choosing to explore via local bus services.”

Excellent position for Dartmoor and ideal spot for walkers. Margaret and Andy went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and the lovely touch of the ‘lemon drizzle’ cake was perfect. Would highly recommend a visit.
Mrs Moore May 2019

“We couldn't have wished for more accommodating hosts, they were great.”

The accommodation (everything you could possibly need) and location were perfect. We walked and biked Drake's Trail (old railway track made into a great trailway), and walked the Moor, directly behind us. Very dog friendly but beware of sheep and horses on the Moor (especially at this time of year).
Mrs Banning May 2019

“We had a really enjoyable stay in this very comfortable annexe.”

The owners were very welcoming and helpful and on hand if we needed anything. We didn't, as they had already thought of everything! Would definitely recommend.
Mrs Dickson April 2019

“Great cottage.”

Margaret and Andy were very good to us. Plenty lovely home baking handed in to us. Will be returning hopefully next year.
Mrs Proctor March 2019

“Lovely cosy spotlessly clean accommodation in an excellent location in Devon for things to do.”

Margaret and Andy are super hosts and made us feel very much at home. We had a great week despite wet and windy weather - thoroughly recommend.
Mr Prentice July 2018

“Great hosts and a very satisfying holiday.”

We would definitely use them for a holiday again, thanks!
Mrs Dalley June 2018

“This is the best holiday accommodation of this type that we have ever stayed in.”

Margaret and Andy have thought about everything to make a stay at Fairmead perfect. We would be very hard pushed to think of any way that our stay could have been improved.
Ms Ferry May 2018

“Fairmead is lovely accommodation.”

Comfortable (especially the bed), beautifully clean and everything supplied that you might need - including a wonderful view from the front window. The owners are welcoming and helpful and there when needed but don't intrude.The village has a handy shop, pub and chippy and is not far from bigger towns and the surrounding area is beautiful.
Mr Hamblett May 2018

“As we are both keen walkers we only had to travel 300 yards for the cycle walk trail, the same distance for local bus service at the bottom of the road.”

Thoroughly enjoyed this experience at this property with all the surroundings.
Mrs Cornford May 2018

“Lovely, comfortable, clean accommodation with great view.”

Andy and Margaret live next door and gave us a lovely warm welcome. They said if we needed anything just to knock. They are very discreet and not at all intrusive. The standard of accommodation is very high and I would recommend staying here. Pub in village, the London Inn does very nice food, about 5-10minute walk.
Mrs Forder March 2018

“Lovely cottage owner left tea, coffee, milk & cake plus many more extras including dog biscuits for our dog.”

Very clean with lovely views across Dartmoor from the lounge .
Mrs Midgley March 2018

“The cottage was well equipped and clean.”

The owners very were friendly and helpful. We would certainly visit again, though it was very compact and bijou.
