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!

Bovey Cottage did not disappoint in any way. We returned home yesterday from a week in this charming stone cottage. Well equipped, comfortable, cosy property. The location is both tranquil and picturesque. Enjoyed waking up to birdsong. The property owners were welcoming and helpful with advice on routes to visit local towns on the South Coast. Bovey Cottage is well situated if you are hoping to explore this lovely area.

What a wonderful location for a relaxing holiday. Such a welcoming atmosphere with breathtaking surroundings. The private use of the hot tub and swimming pool were definitely a highlight and I would definitely recommend to family and friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
