    “Cottage was slightly tricky to access on arrival but delightful inside, very comfortable, well fitted out and handy for the charming pub opposite.”

    A recent listing, owners were still preparing the welcome pack but were happy to provide info and answer questions that arose. We missed a microwave as we were not used to an air fryer and would have liked to be able to dry our wet clothes after walking on the moors but our feedback was well received and I'm sure omissions will be rectified.

    A recent listing, owners were still preparing the welcome pack but were happy to provide info and answer questions that arose. We missed a microwave as we were not used to an air fryer and would have liked to be able to dry our wet clothes after walking on the moors but our feedback was well received and I'm sure omissions will be rectified. The Walkhampton Inn was welcoming and served delicious pub-type food. Not essential to book but advisable as they normally stop serving food after 8pm and sometimes are extremely busy. Lovely location for a break - highly recommend.

    Thank you for your feedback, I’m so glad you reached out with your questions and feedback. You’ll be pleased to know that we have now installed the hand rail on the stairs, fixed the light, put up an airer on the door in the second bedroom and the guest book is now written and available for all future guests….and we are taking the microwave down in a couple of weeks :-). Your feedback during your stay was really useful and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Carolyn and Stuart Property Owner
