“We had a wonderful week staying at The Wesley.”

We were glad of the parking space provided as parking was very limited down the road. The apartments is a great location and only a few minutes walk from Tavistock and by car you are able to access Dartmoor and all it has to offer.

The Wesley is a huge apartment which the photos do not do justice to the size of it! It was clean and very well equipped for a family including dishwasher and washing machine. I would highly recommend a stay at The Wesley.

“Given that we’re in the middle of a pandemic and ensured of enhanced cleaning procedures it was disappointing to arrive at the property to find the bread board out on the side and used to make toast and left unclean.”

There were lots of spotlight bulbs that had blown in the property and despite there being a box of 10 spare bulbs they hadn’t been replaced. There were 2 silver floor lamps in the main bedroom which were broken and lent against furniture to keep them upright. The for sale particulars had been left on the side and it felt like the owners had no intention of spending money on the property before they sold it.

“The apartment was huge and had great facilities and the showers were great.”

When I contacted the caretaker with a couple of queries the response was polite and speedy. The apartment could do with a really good airing. It’s difficult as the windows only open a little which I realise is a safety feature but it was very stuffy and airless. We also found the laundry spelt musty, as though it had been washed stored for a long time, it was however spotlessly clean. I would suggest changing the pillows which in the main bedroom on the mezzanine were desperately uncomfortable. We tried most of the others and eventually found a couple we could use. If we came back we would bring our own! Overall it was a great base to explore from, had plenty of inside space (there were only two of us there) and the facilities gave us the flexibly we were after.

“The only downside is that one of the beddings in one of the rooms wasn't changed prior to us arriving.”

We had to remove it and made use of our beddings as the owner did not provide extra beddings for us. Aside that, the apartment was stunning clean.

The property

In the heart of Tavistock, on a quiet road moments from the centre, is The Wesley, one of five splendid apartments converted from a chapel.

The conversion has been completed to an excellent standard and this apartment is wonderfully light, hugely spacious and very comfortable.

Stairs from communal hall to small lobby.

Smart kitchen (dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier, microwave, fridge-freezer, gas hob/electric oven) with granite worktops and granite-topped breakfast table seating 6.

Huge living/dining room with beautiful original stained glass windows, vaulted ceiling adding to the sense of space and light, TV/DVD, MP3 player and dining table seating 10.

Also on this level, two bedrooms - a double and one with two singles, both with original stained glass windows, and smart bathroom (suite, shower over bath).

Stairs (stairgate) from hall up to a huge mezzanine bedroom (fully glass-screened) with 5' double plus two single beds under the eaves and en suite shower-room (suite) with partly sloping ceiling.

Outside, and a bit of a trek up steep steps, is a small garden with great views over Tavistock towards Dartmoor.

Arrival after 4pm.

A trouble-free, relaxing and thoroughly modern place to stay in this interesting and thriving town. Tavistock: fine ancient town on the River Tavy on the edge of Dartmoor, evolving around an abbey founded in 974, and Sir Francis Drake’s home town.

Lots of interesting shops, pannier/farmers’ markets, pubs, restaurants, wharfside theatre (also films/live music), leisure centre.

Golf, 1½ miles; horse riding and cycling routes within a few miles.

Trust places (Cotehele, Buckland Abbey, Lydford Gorge, Saltram House) nearby.
