“This is a lovely, warm, well decorated holiday house, with all the facilities you need for a family holiday.”

A well stocked house with a wide variety of utensils, wifi and brand new utility room with downstairs toilet. Superbly clean throughout. Beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. This is our third time stopping at this house. We truly like it very much.

“I emailed you 2 days ago regarding my ‘experience’.”

No reply as yet but you have managed to email me ‘the question’ I’m waiting for an answer on!! The cottage is not completely as described or pictured. The cleanliness left a lot to be desired and the first impression as you pull up to park is not the pretty picture shown! It could however be a fantastic cottage as it’s very spacious and the views are amazing. A little bit of TLC would go along way.

Thank you for your comments which now have been addressed Owner relations

“Wonderful holiday!”

Old Berkley is a very comfortable house, with views over Dartmoor, a lovely garden we enjoyed, easy to walk into town and has the Meadow walk and canal walk close by. A very happy holiday!
Miss Williams May 2019

“The house is about a 10 to 15 minute walk toTavistock in a quiet area.”

The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with all the essential things you need. The walk back from Tavistock is very steep so not good for anyone with mobility issues but there is plenty of parking in Tavistock and the drive is about 5 minutes. I would highly recommend this property it is a little gem. I did read reviews before I booked and I am glad to say they have wi-fi now.
Mrs Thomas February 2019

“The overall cleanliness was very good until we pulled the duvets back on both double beds to find that one sheet had what looked like a spilt beverage and the other, either a ink stain or a bird dropping (photos available).”

I didn't think I would have to be washing a bed sheet at 9.30pm on our first night.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback. We have now replaced the sheets with new ones. We are glad you enjoyed the rest of your stay. Owner relations

“This is our second Christmas holiday at this beautiful house.”

We absolutely love it. Very warm, beautifully decorated, lovely kitchen with lots of equipment and utensils. There is a lovely view out of the back. Very quiet and yet within walking distance of the town centre. Even put up a Christmas tree for us. It is in a close so very hard to turn a car around in it but managed. As mentioned last year, there was only a couple of logs for the fire and they were damp. It would be good to have a really decent supply of dry logs in the middle of winter as the log fire is a real attraction. There is no wifi here but there are the main tv stations. Little things like be good to have a couple of extra towels so one could act as a bath mat. No dishwasher tablets. Otherwise we absolutely love this house and am sure we will be back again.

“Although we would return to the property as it has a nice feel to it, lovely views and nice position, we would have to comment about the freezer and washing machine being in the garage which can only be accessed using the outside garage door.”

WiFi is not supplied, however, we were aware of this, but possibly for a family using the house this would be a necessity. The exterior of the property is in need of some attention. This is our second visit and we would certainly consider returning again.

“Good location, but no wi-fi - in 2018!”

!! While we all need to spend less time on our phones, not having wi-fi is also massively inconvenient. Needs to be sorted out or they will lose business.
