“This was a get away from it all holiday and this location met all we wanted.”

Would describe as comfortably rustic. Probably not for people with limited mobility.

“Really beautiful location.”

Perfect for walkers. Cottage has excellent facilities and was extremely welcoming and comfortable. The beds were so plush, kitchen well equipped and the log burner a real treat. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this cottage and would definitely go again. Thank you for the much needed comfort break.

“Delightful stay”

We arrived to a newly decorated and well furnished character cottage, nestled in the centre of North Bovey. It had everything we needed and the central village location gave us the chance to walk to all the amenities....ring o bells pub (excellent), village green, stepping stones on the river and hiking in the locality. I would highly recommend this cottage. Just one downside: the garden wasn't really useable, but with the village green was so close, that it wasn't really necessary.

“A really wonderful and peacefull stay for three nights at this cosy cottage.”

Located in a picture-postcard village with a fantasic pub next door serving quality food that is open all day. Lots of trails pass through the village and we were able to take a number of tors including Hayter Rocks in a circular route from the front door. We took a 30min walk for meal at Morton one evening and Chagford is a short drive away which is well worth a visit. The guestbook is full of complimentary reviews which is at odds with some online reviews. Ignore the ones online as this was the perfect staycation in great location.
