    “A fantastic cottage with all the fittings and finish to really be able to relax and enjoy the surroundings of Postbridge!”

    Thank you for setting the home up for us on the Friday evening, great to have the baby cot and high chair ready to use as we needed. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cutlery, great to have a dishwasher and washing machine tumble dryer to use as needed. Be useful to have some baking trays for the oven.

    Thank you for setting the home up for us on the Friday evening, great to have the baby cot and high chair ready to use as we needed.

Bathrooms were well setup and good to use, upstairs en-suite was a bit of height challenge for some of us, but easy to get around. Good storage spaces in the bedrooms, along with bedside lamps. Lounge space was good to use, great to see the tv had some films to use. Be good to have the dvd player connected via a HDMI cable. Glad that wifi was available in the cottage, very useful added bonus

    Dear Adam, Thank you for taking the time to send us your kind feedback. This is so important to us to ensure yours and future guests stay is enjoyable and relaxing. I do apologise about the lack of baking trays, I really thought there was some in there. I will pop them in to make it easier for other guests. Kind Regards Sarah, John & Kelly Property Owner

About the location

POSTBRIDGE

Chagford 6.9 miles; Okehampton 18.7 miles; Plymouth 21.0 miles.

Postbridge lies in the centre of Dartmoor between Moretonhampstead and Two Bridges, next to the East Dart River. It is an idyllic place to uncover Dartmoor's archaeology and showcases one of the finest clapper bridges in the country, believed to date back to medieval times and would probably have replaced stepping stones to assist packhorses cross the babbling river. Well positioned to enjoy an array of activities, Postbridge boasts fantastic walking and cycling routes in nearby Bellever Forest, as well as several archaeological remains including roundhouses, stone rows and a burial cyst. From here, you can also visit the remains of a 19th- century gunpowder factory known as Powdermills, which produced gunpowder for the local quarries and mines. Popular tourist spots such as Okehampton and Plymouth are also easily accessible from here by car, making this a holiday destination to savour.
