“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.
