Mr Cannings
We enjoyed ourselves so much. The hosts are fantastic and made us feel so welcome. The location was ideal for us as we love the countryside and our dog thoroughly enjoyed himself too. The hot tub and pool are fantastic. Thanks again

Mr Tylden-Pattenson
Started great with a warm welcome from the owner and lovely scones + cream waiting for us, plus a pint of milk in the fridge. The pool is superb and you effectively have it to yourself. Access to a washing machine too. This is an exceptionally quiet location, and the access lanes - like so many in Devon - are narrow and winding. However the location is so handy for so much - NT properties, the River Dart, dartmoor, Torbay, a choice of steam railways, and unlimited walks. Bovey cottage is small but plenty spacious enough for two, is clean and well-equipped and has TV and adequate wi-fi. Note that there is limited mobile phone signal at the cottage though!
