“We had a lovely week at Little Fern Cottage.”

It was comfortable, well provided for (cutlery, crockery, heaters, bedding, dishwasher, etc); very clean and very welcoming (tea, coffee, cake, flowers) and homely. For us the location was ideal: "on a farm" and at the same time easily accessible from the main road. Despite being relatively close to a main road - you do not near any traffic noise when you are in the cottage; on the contrary, extremely peaceful. We were able to visit Dartmoor national park; Lydford Gorge , Drogo Castle; Buckland ...

We were able to visit Dartmoor national park; Lydford Gorge , Drogo Castle; Buckland Abbey, Tavistock, Okehampton, Dartington Factory (Great Torrington); RHS Rosemoor Gardens - all literally less than half an hour's drive, ideal. the patio has sun in the morning and lovely for a leisurely breakfast.

“We had a comfortable stay at Little fern and really appreciated the cake after a long journey there.”

We found the accommodation was warm and cozy, and we slept soundly at night. It was a great location to explore Dartmoor and ideal for travelling to Okehampton, Tavistock and Clovelly on the north Devon coast.

“We had a lovely week at Little Fern, the accommodation was great, perfectly large enough for a couple.”

The owner and their family were all friendly and all stopped to say hello as we saw them during their working days on the farm and the welcoming cake was lovely. Little Fern is ideally situated to explore the area, both North and South Devon coasts are within an hours drive, all of Dartmoor is within 45 minutes drive and you are into Cornwall in no time at all.

“Little Fern is a cute cottage with everything needed for 2 people.”

I particularly enjoyed the sun on the patio for the first half of the day. Inside had good decor and was very clean. A washing machine would have been nice. Personally I would prefer that to a dishwasher. Although remote, there are roadside services very close by, with a supermarket. The entrance on the road is quite concealed. Signage on the roadside would be really helpful.,especially if it showed up in the dark.

“Little Fern was lovely,all we needed.”

Such a shame we were only able to stay five nights instead fourteen due to lockdown. Will definitely go back at a later date .

“We found Little Fern provided us with all that we needed at this present time with well equipped and comfortable accommodation.”

The seclusion of the farm gave us the opportunity to relax and yet was well placed for travelling to places of interest in that part of Devon. The homemade cake, which was waiting for us when we arrived, was very much appreciated!

“Lovely welcome including a freshly baked cream cake and other provisions(milk, coffee,,tea, sugar, etc).”

Located on the end of the existing farmhouse via its own access. Well equipped generally, good size comfortable double bed. Definitely recommended.
