“We had a great time.”

Cottage was located in a convenient place and the village is such a friendly place.

Mr Letley July 2021

“For an expensive luxury cottage I was disappointed that there was no welcome pack and I had to ask to have bedding and towels changed after the first week of our fortnight stay.”

But the biggest problem is the cottage is three foot away from a very busy road and the noise was intolerable, so glad to be home so I can get a good nights sleep.

- Mr Letley, July 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. As this was the first two week booking at Brackenmoor the owner hadn't realised a linen change would be required but reacted swiftly as soon as you contacted her. Welcome packs vary at each property and are of course complimentary: many properties may have reduced or removed this due to Covid concerns and to reduce the risk of touch points. As regards the proximity to the road, there is a Red Note at the foot of the listing for Brackenmoor which states: "Note: Please note that the cottage has road frontage which can experience a steady flow of traffic at peak times." This will have flashed up again before you made the reservation to ensure you were fully informed. Property Owner
Mrs Mill June 2021

“Would have been better if there was somewhere to sit outside and/or some outdoor chairs to use”

- Mrs Mill, June 2021

Thank you for your comments, we have confirmed with the owner that there is a 2 person bench just outside on the gravel/flower bed area below the kitchen window and in the communal garden (minimum 20 feet away) there are 3 individual seating areas with tables and chairs (pic 22), far enough apart for some privacy if anyone else is using the garden.

Mrs Seviour April 2021

“An extremely clean, comfortable and well-equipped cottage in a convenient location for experiencing the delights of Dartmoor.”

Lots of local walks and good pubs offering food and drink. The owner was very welcoming and friendly and we would certainly have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to others or returning ourselves.

- Mrs Seviour, April 2021
Mr Hemmings September 2020

“A lovely spacious well equipped cottage.”

Everything was absolutely perfect and we had a very comfortable stay. Wouldn't hesitate to book again.

- Mr Hemmings, September 2020
Ms Robinson September 2020

“Beautiful cottage, exceeded our expectations.”

Wonderful location, despite being steps away from the road, it was very quiet at night and the double glazing eliminated any noise of passing cars during the day. Lovely walks locally

- Ms Robinson, September 2020
Mrs Single July 2020

“Great location for Dartmoor and the surrounding area.”

- Mrs Single, July 2020
Mrs Richards March 2020

“An extremely comfortable, well presented immaculate cottage in a very good location.”

We enjoyed our short stay. Our only 'gripe' is the description and photograph of the patio and shared garden is slightly misleading. We took our dog and picked this cottage because it suggested there was an outside area. However there is no patio outside the cottage and the shared area is also away from the cottage. In the photo this area looks quite contained whereas it is in fact open onto a car park. If not having an outside area doesn't bother you, then I would heartily recommend this place.

- Mrs Richards, March 2020
Mrs Pearham December 2019

“We spent a week at Brackenmoor over the New Year period, owner left us a bottle of Prosecco which was a lovely surprise!”

Very comfortable cottage, 2 spacious bedrooms each with en-suites. Property has been decorated and furnished to a high standard. Good location, close to a good pub. Variety of excellent walks close by onto the moor. Local shop with friendly, helpful staff which serves coffee/breakfast. We had a wonderful stay only disappointment was the weather was so mild for December/January we did not use the open fire!

- Mrs Pearham, December 2019
Mr Brown August 2019

“The cottage was lovely.”

Very clean and well appointed. The welcome items were a nice surprise and much appreciated. The bedrooms were lovely although a wardrobe in both bedrooms wood have been a bonus. Very comfortable beds and great linen and towels. I think it would be fairer if the listing mentioned that the cottage is on a busy, sometimes noisy road. If the weather is warm and you want the windows open the traffic noise is considerable particularly if you like a lie in! However, this is outweighed by the positives and we enjoyed our week exploring the local area.

- Mr Brown, August 2019

We are delighted that you loved the cottage and it's facilities The location in the heart of a Dartmoor village does mean that the property is close to the minor road running through the village. The owners inform us that there had been an accident on the A30 during your stay which resulted in traffic being diverted for a period of time. The location however gives great access to the village pubs and the National Trust property Finch Foundry only yards from the property. The cottage is also blessed with a large rear garden. The cottage has two double wardrobes in one double room and. a 9 drawer dressing table , 2 bedside tables and a free standing clothes horse plus hooks with coat hangers in the second double room which also benefits from an en-suite shower room. Thank you for taking the time to help us improve our services. Property Owner

The property

Brackenmoor is situated in a peaceful mews style courtyard in the centre of Sticklepath village within the Dartmoor National Park.

The village has two pubs, a village shop and cafe, direct access to wonderful walking at Skaigh woods, straight on to Dartmoor and the National Trust Finch Foundry Museum with tea room.

The property has recently been completely refurbished to provide a luxurious base for even the most discerning holiday maker and it's been a complete labour of love. Furnished with many treasured artefacts from the owners' travels to the Middle East, Africa and Egypt, the character of the spacious open-plan ground floor has been optimised by exposing natural timber and granite walls with the addition of oak and delabole slate floors.

The split level sitting/dining room has a wood-burning stove and leads into the kitchen with new 5 ring ceramic hob, double oven, slimline dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer.

A tasteful use of colour has created a rustic-chic style with complete comfort and easy living in mind. On the first floor there is plenty of natural light with a galleried landing displaying artwork for sale by a local artist Kari McGowan.

Leading off the landing, two beautifully presented en-suite bedrooms of a modern/contemporary style with power showers and Egyptian linen have been designed with complete calm and relaxation in mind, to ensure a good nights sleep. Outside there is a pretty little garden with seat ideal for a cuppa whilst watching the world go by and a larger well maintained communal garden with private seating areas suitable for a BBQ.

Guests also have a private parking space around the back of the pretty courtyard. Whether it's summer and you want to enjoy the great outdoors or heart of winter and you just want to snuggle up in front of the wood-burning stove and watch a good movie or simply head to the pub, this place is the perfect country pad! Front door to hall.

Comfortable living/dining room with woodburner in large granite fireplace, beams, dining table/chairs, window seat and smart TV.

Kitchen (washing machine, microwave, fridge/freezer, electric cooker).

Upstairs, two bedrooms - a double (6' bed) with view over the village and en-suite shower room (suite) and a double (5' bed)).
