We were lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy the amazing garden. Our third stay here whilst visiting our family in Plymouth and we hope to return again. A lovely friendly welcome from Garth and everything we could need for our stay provided. Highly recommend !

Well appointed with a well equipped kitchen. Comfortable, cosy and clean. This has been our 5th visit so must be good!! Great location! Plenty of walks from the cottage and a short drive to Dartmoor and areas of interest. The Drake Manor Inn is a stoneâs throw away (literally) with great food and friendly staff. We shall return again as soon as we can!!

Best of all, the fabulous Drake Manor Inn is just down the road and open for excellent food and drink seven days a week. The cottage is very cosy and clean, comfortably and interestingly furnished and has probably the best equipped kitchen of anywhere Iâve stayed in. Itâs on the main street of the village but very quiet. Thereâs a beautiful garden - it wasnât outdoor breakfast weather when we stayed, but we did enjoy getting the woodburner going. Garth the cottage owner lives in the village and was on hand and very helpful with any query. We had a lovely week and hope to come back.
