  • Paul

    “A wonderful home to rest up in whether walking in and around Sticklepath or on Dartmoor; taking some of the nearby bike trails or just sitting by the river at the bottom of the property's lovely garden.”

    The family run pub and adjoining store/cafe in the village are a real bonus. The house is very comfortable and well equipped with a well stocked woodburner for cosy nights in. Steve and Pam just next door if needed but are very unobtrusive and friendly - the ideal hosts for a perfect home from home.
