Owners couldn’t do enough for you! Highly recommend

“Lily's Pad felt like home from the moment we arrived.”

It is decorated / furnished to a high standard and has all of the facilities that you need. The property itself is close to some lovely walks across Dartmoor and local restaurants. Chris and Sandra are genuinely friendly and made us feel very welcome. We arrived late at night and they kindly provided a welcome pack of scones , Milk etc and ensured that Lily's Pad had a supply of everything that we needed which was much appreciated.

“That you need your car to get about .”

The road is too busy to try and walk.

- Mrs Dawe, June 2021

Thank you very much for your feedback, we are pleased to read that you had a good holiday here. A great advantage of Lily's Pad is that it's easily accessible, however we'd agree that if visiting Okehampton that it's both easier and safer to drive. There's a map on the website to help you see the location. Owner relations

Fab cottage and host, cream tea on arrival was delicious, extremely clean and well presented will definitely be returning

Mrs Spencer May 2021

“Excellent property, very comfortable with ample space.”

Situated just off main road so some traffic noise, mainly during the day, but this is balanced by such easy access to all points around Devon and into Cornwall. On the moor in minutes and with easy reach of the coast. Although adjacent to owner’s house there is no intrusion and very private. The other property on the site does not intrude, you cannot see it from Lily’s Pad. Highly recommend, came with a lovely cream tea!, and would stay again. Particularly suit those with an aversion to narrow Devon roads.

Mr Joyce December 2020

“Top quality accommodation.”

Very clean, decorated to a high standard and very comfortable. Nice touches from owners with treats on arrival and even Christmas decorations and tree. Lovely and picturesque location and ideal to escape to for peace and quiet.

Mrs Ridgway September 2020

“A very comfortable 4 night stay at Lilys Pad.”

Everything you would need and more for a self catering holiday. Would definitely be booking again and would certainly recommend it for any one wanting a holiday in Devon great location.

Mrs Sillitto August 2020

“Lily’s Pad is a great place to stay.”

Well equipped and spacious. It’s in a great location to explore so many of Devon’s sites and attractions. We had a very comfortable stay and would highly recommend.

- Mrs Sillitto, August 2020
Mr Lefevre July 2020

“We enjoyed everything about this holiday, highly recommend!”

- Mr Lefevre, July 2020
Mrs Johns July 2020

“Wonderful holiday in a beautiful barn style converted cottage.”

Despite being on site with the owners still felt private. Beautiful gardens with amazing views and sunsets. There is another cottage due to be opened up soon so I would assume the garden would then be shared. Everything you need the owners have provided Including lots of little extras too and the cream tea and wine was a nice surprise. Missed the property initially on the road which is busy so look for the big pylon to locate it easily. Highly recommended.

- Mrs Johns, July 2020
Mrs Hargreaves October 2019

“We stayed in Lily’s pad for a week in late October.”

It was warm, comfortable and very well equipped. We liked the wood burner. Nice welcoming cream tea and bottle of wine in the fridge. Hosts Sandra and Chris were friendly and gave us good suggestions for things to do. Good location for access to North Dartmoor. All in all a very good week, thanks.

- Mrs Hargreaves, October 2019

Mr Oxford December 2018

“Excellent accommodation and facilities in a great location.”

A real gem if you are looking to get away for a well earned break.

- Mr Oxford, December 2018
Mr Boys October 2018

“We have just spent a thoroughly enjoyable, comfortable & relaxing stay at 'Lily's Pad'.”

A spotlessly clean, well equipped, & furnished cottage with some lovely homely touches. Not forgetting the amazing views of the surrounding countryside, together with the generous cream tea, flowers & wine on arrival & warm friendly owners, all contributed to a lovely week for us. Highly recommended.

- Mr Boys, October 2018
Mr Waters September 2018

“Ideal base for two couples sharing or those with older children.”

Extremely clean and well equipped with comfortable beds. Owners very helpful and discreet and kindly left us a cream tea and bottle of wine. Lovely views, not far from town for supplies. Would definitely book again for this area.

- Mr Waters, September 2018
Mrs Parker September 2018

“Its a wonderful place to stay, very relaxing, great for exploring the area for both coasts and countryside.”

Great access for Dartmoor. Sandra and Chris were wonderful hosts, there if you needed them, but also gave you your privacy. Loved the Cream Tea and Wine. The first place to do this, given we have stayed in 2 separate cottages with yourselves before, a lovely touch and oh do i miss my cream tea's. But then I am biased as we come from the Okehampton area back visiting relatives and a 90th Birthday Party. We now live at the very top of Scotland, 754 miles. On a personal note having arrived and met Sandra we suddenly realised that we went School together in Chagford and Okehampton so had a great time catching up. I know this is not relevant but lovely for me. Having said all that I will definitely be booking this cottage again as it has been the best by far for location and convenience.

- Mrs Parker, September 2018
Mrs Melia August 2018

“Beautifully kept cottage in a lovely location.”

Lots of activities for families in Devon.

- Mrs Melia, August 2018
Mrs Riotto August 2018

“Nestled in rolling Devon countryside just behind the owners’s home , this lovely accomodation is clean and well equipped and an excellent location for visiting the Devon coast and interior.”

Nearby Okehampton is equipped with supermarkets and leisure activities and the beautiful moors can be walked or climbed . Its very cosy with a fab wood burner and has three lovely patio areas to sit and access to the owners’s large garden space adjacent to the home which is fab for families . The owners are very welcoming and provided a lovely Devon tea which was refreshing after a long drive . We found access to the south coast easier via the A30 but the North is more twisty with “Devonshire miles “ ! ☺️ A really enjoyable stay

- Mrs Riotto, August 2018
Mr Nicholson July 2018

“Lilys pad was superb, clean, has every thing we needed, the views from the location were amazing the hosts were helpful and friendly and made us feel very welcome.”

Mr Fulker June 2018

“A super place, very well equipped, excellent large garden and facilities for eating/relaxing out of doors.”

Highly recommended. Very friendly and helpful owners.

Mrs Marshman May 2018

“From the moment we arrived we felt at home.”

Welcomed personally by the owners who gave us information we needed about the property, re. controls where to find things etc. We also enjoyed freshly made scones and clotted cream along with wine that was kindly left for us. Chris and Sandra unobtrusive but available should we need anything. The setting is beautiful with gorgeous gardens, a lovely sunny decking to sit and enjoy an evening drink with amazing views. A beautiful lounge, well equipped kitchen and lovely comfortable beds. All in all a perfect place to stay in central Devon on the edge of Dartmoor.

- Mrs Marshman, May 2018
Mr Smith May 2018

“The accommodation was very good and spotlessly clean.”

The owners were extremely helpful and friendly. Our only criticism is that it was if anything over furnished with ornaments. This meant there was little room to put things down. The listing does not emphasise the sheer size of the principle rooms or the large amount of fenced outside area available. The situation in rural Oakhampton is ideal for exploring north Dartmoor which has the high tors. We managed to scale Yes Tor etc. The route is easy and safe. We also visited mid Dartmoor and the north Cornish cast at Widemouth Bay. There is spectacular coastal walking and surfing if you like such things. A successful short break.

Okehampton is a busy market town on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park and near the highest and most dramatic areas of the moor, where Yes Tor rises to a height above 2000 feet. To the north of Okehampton are some beautiful rolling Devon hills where small farming villages nestle amidst woods and fields with plenty of gently flowing rivers. The fabulous Roadford Reservoir offers a multitude of watersport activities and fishing opportunities. Okehampton has a prominent medieval castle overlooking a wooded river valley, the Museum of Dartmoor Life (where Tourist Information can be found) and Okehampton train station, which has been restored to its 1950s glory running trains along a scenic route to Meldon the highest station in southern England. The town also has spectacular views across Dartmoor, access to fabulous walks and Simmons Park where you’ll find a children’s adventure playground. This area of Devon has plenty of farm shops and country inns serving good food where visitors can spend time relaxing and unwinding amongst unspoilt countryside.
