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.

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. Owner relations

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)).
