“Wi-Fi access / a landline would have been an advantage, as there was no mobile signal at the cottage.”

However, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rockmead. Despite the weather being cold and damp, the cottage was warm and cosy. **Owner Response"" We're delighted to let you know that we have just installed WIFI at Rockmead

“Rockmead was super, lovely location, lovely owners great facilities for pets.”

Sykes staff are exceptional to deal with, very obliging and ready to assist on any matter.

“We loved this house and holiday and very much appreciated the friendly helpfulness of the owner.”

The only reason I have not given top rating throughout is that the photographs of the main reception room made it appear that there was ample space for both sitting and dining areas to be in use at the same time. In fact, it was necessary to move the large sofa back and forth depending on which part of the room we wanted to use. This was perfectly practicable and did not at all affect our enjoyment of the house - and we certainly wouldn't want any fewer sofa spaces or a smaller table - so I don't think it necessarily needs changing. I am really only raising it because you have specifically asked for feedback. The younger members of the party would like wifi and the older members, while generally enjoying its absence, did occasionally miss it when wishing to access information about walks and local places of interest. Fortunately, the provision of books and leaflets about the area was particularly good, as was the very clear and complete instruction folder for the house. Thank you for a great holiday - I have already started looking at other properties managed by Helpful Holidays.

“Loved the cottage but didn't realise it was quite so remote where it was located.”

“We had a really good time at our lab retreat on the Dartmoor but WiFi access in the property would have been highly desirable since there is no mobile coverage in the whole area.”

“First time dealing through Sykes and staff on chat were superb.”
Robinson April 2018

“Lovely cottage but could have done with more guidance about where kitchen light switches are.”

Also, the bedroom upstairs said on your website a double bed and two singles, however when we arrived it only had 3 single beds which caused a problem. Did discover they each had a single bed that slid out but they weren't made up ready for us. But, overall we had a fab holiday and will be using you again, thankyou.

The property

If you want to get away from it all, and return to nature, then this big detached house in the peaceful, ancient moorland hamlet of Lettaford is ideal.

Set quietly at the end of a hedgerow lane, separate from the few other houses, the Two Moors Way leads past the door to the open expanses of Dartmoor, inviting you to walk and dream.

Natural wood and granite have been carefully preserved to create a characterful and welcoming living space, with a wood burning stove in the living room with its big dining table, and floor to ceiling windows in the kitchen, from where you can wander out to the lovely garden, maybe with a refreshing glass in hand to start the barbecue for an alfresco supper.

With two downstairs bedrooms and two upstairs, you are spoiled for choice of sleeping accommodation, ensuring a good night’s rest after wandering the moors and watching the children play on the swings and slide in the garden.

With amenities of shops, inns and good eating places in the friendly town of Chagford three miles away, this is a magical place for families to relax, play and watch the moon and the barn owls.
