Shelia did a great job of making me feel at home. Sociable but not intrusive. Definitely worth it and would stay again.

Top notch, great value.

I had a great time during my stay at Sheila's home. She has the ability to make you feel at home instantly in her own house. I felt very comfortable at her place. The house is located near the town and highway, but in a nice and peaceful street. The room and house are cosy and very clean. Sheila is a great host, just feel free to just ask anything and she takes care of it or help you with it!

A lovely place to stay for a knitting course I was doing in Bovey Tracey. Sheila was very welcoming and will return when I do another course. Thank you Sheila.

A really comfortable room, super close to the cookery school. Perfect if you are doing a course there, as you can walk but still enjoy going into the town with everyone else (no.14 wine bar especially lovely!). The single bed is super comfy, the shower always hot and generally a very warm and cosy feel to the house. Wifi works perfectly. I felt right at home and wouldn't hesitate to recommend for an affordable and comfortable stay in the area!

A lovely, friendly and relaxing environment. A "make yourself at home" welcome and a lovely stay. Thank you!

Great host A 1

Sheila was a fantastic and well organised host who is very warm and friendly! He place is great and has a very relaxing feel, just what I needed!!

A great place to stay and Sally was very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended!

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Small but good equipped annex in Dartmoor National Park with reasonable distance to Plymouth, Torquay, Exeter.

We had a great stay at this airbnb location. It did not go completely as planned but the hosts went out of their way to accomodate us. The surrounding natural park is amazing and this is a very good starting point for interesting hikes. The Bowerman's Nose and the Hound Tor are not far and the landscape is just amazing. We had a great dinner with the host and her family. The host thoroughly deserves the title of superhost!

Beautiful and secluded property. Clean and welcoming with everything you could need in the property. The location was perfect for access onto Dartmoor. Can't wait to stay here again!

A fantastic location if you're looking for a quiet base in the heart of Dartmoor. Sally and the family made us feel very welcome, whilst we had our own private space to relax. The accommodation is perfect.

We would like to thank you, Sally and James, for your hospitality and kindness. Especially for the surprises that were left in the refrigerator. Also for helping us find some food late in the evening. And last but not least for the tips you gave us for our next days in Cornwall. The place was also very cosy and clean! It was a pleasure for us to stay with you! Liesbeth & Piet

A friendly, comfortable self-contained apartment with a beautiful light-filled second storey in a lovely peaceful location. We enjoyed Sally's recommendations for local outings, including the walk up to Manaton Rocks, a trip to Hay Tor, and dinner (and cream tea the next day!) in Widdecombe-on-the-Moor.

We loved the location of the cottage, perfect for getting away from the city and being amongst nature. There was lots to do within a short drive and we really loved the animals on the farm (especially Max the dog). The hosts were very welcoming and happy to help, we wouldn't hesitate recommending the cottage to family and friends.

Such a quiet, relaxing and beautiful location. Was the perfect space to spend retreat time away from my normal life, right next to the moors which are full of history and character, loved walking around this ancient land. Lovely hosts who were always there if I needed anything, enjoyed every minute of this holiday get away.

Friendly and welcoming hosts. Picturesque location with lovely local walks across the open moors. The accommodation was nice and cosy with a nice atmosphere.

What a lovely couple and what a beautiful spot! We felt so at home in the cottage which was inviting and cosy. The outdoor space was gorgeous, perfect for us and our dog. We didn't have to worry about her escaping into the road or wandering off. We'll be back, we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

The cottage is lovely, confortable, very clean and well furnished. Susie and James have been very kind and helpful. It should be better to arrive by day as the roads around are really small. The location is calm and nice, perfect for a quiete stay !

Susie and James made us feel right at home. We (couple + young child) had our own private getaway at their cottage. We mostly took day trips, either in the moors or to the beach (car drive). The surroundings are beautiful, you are literally inside the Dartmoor National Park. Highly recommended for all who like walking, sitting in the cottage/garden reading a book, and for your children to play with the animals. Thank you, Susie and James. We'd be happy to come again.

I was in heaven. Your place was fantastic and had such a good Airbnb vibe. Fresh farm eggs were a great bonus but I couldn't have been happier with the location, the space or. the garden. I felt lucky to stay in (for me) this remote rural idyll. thank you

We stayed in this perfect cottage for a long weekend and we are looking forward to coming back! This cottage was in beautiful setting, we were surrounded by the stunning Dartmoor scenery and out hosts were perfect. I couldn't speak more highly of place and its close to many fantastic places!

Very friendly and convenient.

A welcoming family offering a very comfortable en-suite room in a lovely decorated house surrounded by beautiful countryside.

A wonderful short stay in Cliff and Jackie's beautiful ensuite room. It's brilliantly equipped, tastefully decorated and a short walk to the local amenities. We had a lovely continental breakfast provided by them too. We would highly recommend! (Cliff also makes beautiful pottery which you can buy- we came home with two new mugs! An added bonus!)

Cliff and Jackie are wonderful hosts. The room was beautiful, comfortable and clean. I'd definitely stay again!

We had an amazing time there, the hosts were lovely and very helpful. The room was cute and had everything we needed. Ashburton is in walking distance. The breakfast was great and glad we booked it last minute. Would recommend anytime and visit again. What a great expierence!

A really lovely place to stay. Everything we had hoped for. Thank you so much :)

Hospitality was great, very friendly, very nice house with stained glass doors and local knowledge freely offered. Good location for walking into town centre. Breakfast was superb and proper coffee in a cafetiere was a nice touch too. Will stay again next time in the area.

Good value comfortable room with great Em suite shower. Very friendly easy going host. Good central location.

Bev was a lovely warm lady who made us feel very welcome. Accommodation was comfortable, clean and nicely fitted out. During our stay the weather was grim but the room was snug and warm. If you want quiet with beautiful countryside this is the place for you.

Beverley is a warm host and has taken great care to outfit the studio with many details for the comfort of her guests. The space is a lovely, self-contained double bed, couch & TV and an selection of board games. Highly recommend for a quiet getaway in beautiful Dartmoor!

Beverley was great, the room is great and really nice that it has its own entrance so you don't feel intrusive, village is lovely with a great pub just steps away :-)

Beverley's house is in an amazing location in Dartmoor and the room and Beverley as a host made for an excellent stay. Lustleigh is a beautifully quaint village with good access on foot to some great walks. The house is down a track that isn't really accessible by car, but this added to the charm and wasn't a problem for us. The room is large, clean, has a very comfortable bed and contains enough kitchen stuff for you to be able to make some basic breakfast and lunch. The Cleave pub, about 4 minutes walk, did excellent food for dinner. Beverley was a warm and welcoming host and made sure everything was OK without feeling at all intrusive. It has separate access to the basement room, which meant you could come and go as you pleased without feeling like you were disturbing anyone as well. I'd highly recommend Bev's place to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Beverley met us in front of the church and led us to her home. Beautifully clean and complimented with everything you could need. Beverley thinks of everything, we hope to return many times. The village itself is a Dartmoor jewel with the most amazing walks.

Lovely small village, great little pub within 5 mins walk, everyone really friendly. Beverley was a great host and the accommodation was perfect.

Beverley was a fantastic host, and I'd recommend this room to anyone. When we arrived, Beverley came to meet us in the village and took us down to the house. She was very welcoming, and even gave us some homemade cake! The room was lovely, clean and comfortable, and as it has its own entrance, it's like having a separate flat to yourself. Lustleigh itself is beautiful, very idyllic, and there's a really nice, friendly pub less than five minutes from the house. Would highly recommend the flat and the area.

Great place to stay, Lustleigh is a lovely village with great pub, tea room and local shop. Some lovely walks right on the doorstep and lots to do further afield.

Marie Louise's cottage was lovely, just the way you would imagine and hope a Devon cottage to be. So perfectly warm for when you come back from those wonderful walks on the moor. Would definitely recommend!

We had a great time at Marie Louise's amazing cottage in Ashburton. I grew up locally but was visiting for a family gathering and decided that this would be perfect for a long weekend. The cottage had everything we needed and Marie Louise was a great host - she made sure we had everything we needed and was easily contactable. Would definitely stay again!

Great stay! Lovely spacious cottage - we were there over Christmas and it was beautifully decorated with a huge Christmas tree and lovely decorations!

Marie’s cottage a delightful place with very comfortable beds – perfectly located for access to Dartmoor, as well as being close to local shops and pubs. Marie herself gives very clear, detailed communications before arrival, removing all stress from the trip. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay at Marie's cottage. It was perfectly situated for a combination of town and moor. We were able to enjoy a wander around Ashburton and a meal out. Best of all we had an amazing time exploring the moors. We loved the decor of the cottage and it was all really comfortable so thanks very much. Great weekend.

It wsa nice place. This house was very cleaning and warming. I and my family had enjoyed here. Thank you^^.

Lovely location and sweet little cottage. Able to walk to centre of Ashburton in minutes and its minutes away from Dartmoor national park driving. We enjoyed our stay a lot!

Really lovely house and great location for the moors, coast and much more. The front room was really spacious and the two bedrooms are a good size. The bath/shower might be a bit treacherous if you are tall (i'm 5'9" and there were a couple of inches between my head and the ceiling) and someone has mentioned that the stairs are quite steep. Would recommend this to a couple like us but perhaps not for families. The kitchen is very small (which was fine for us) but functional. However, the cottage is full of character and the communication with Marie Louise was very good

Made sure I had everything I needed. Pleasant simple quiet house.

When Sheila told me she hasn't been doing Airbnb for long, I was shocked. She's a natural at it - a woman who gives the impression that she's been on this website since it first started! Sheila is a wonderful host and clearly goes above and beyond for her guests. She was kind enough to help me arrange transport when I was a bit lost on what to do. I felt so welcome, and I know the other person staying at the same time did as well. In addition to being a lovely person, Sheila's place is immaculate and decorated in a very interesting and tasteful way. Her home is situated very close to Dartmoor, which was what drew me there, but it's also only a few minutes walk from the town centre which has places to buy food and interesting looking shops. If her place is available, definitely stay with Sheila. You won't regret it!

Sheila was a great host, who made me feel really welcome. I was doing a course at Ashburton cookery school and it was ideally suited, will definitely be staying again

First i would like to thank Sheila for the time i was there,had a great time, A very relaxed environment, Very helpful, Had a good laugh, I would recommend this place to stay.

Sheila was a great host - really helpful, friendly and relaxed. The bed was comfortable and it was a convenient short walk to the cookery school.

This was the second time I stayed at Sheila's and this time it was for a week. Sheila is a friendly person making sure you are happy with the stay. The room is large with a lot of storage. The bed is comfortable. I felt at home in the kitchen making my breakfast in the morning and something little in the evening. I quite understand that people want to stay there longer because of the cookery school. If you travel by public transport there is a bus stop close-by and you can take the bus to e.g. Buckfast Abbey, Totnes, Newton Abbey and Exeter. Ashburton is small but quaint and the people I met there were friendly and helpful.

I was welcomed by a warm-hearted lady, Sheila. I came by bus and she texted where to get off. The house was only ca 150 meters from the bus stop and easy to find. The room was large for one person, very clean and also warm. Sheila and I had a nice chat before I went off to see the lovely, little town, Ashburton. The centre was within easy walking distance. I had lunch in a quaint restaurant and it was very enjoyable. There were some nice shops too and the people I met were genuinely friendly. I had a good night's sleep, the area is quiet. I stayed only for one night but could have stayed longer. Sheila was kind enough to take me to the nearest railway station in Newton Abbey.

Sheila is an absolute gem. Very welcoming and friendly. Her home is in a very convenient location, just up from a bus stop and an easy walk into the center of town. Room was very large, simply but effectively furnished with personal tv. Wonderful stay!

Very nice cottage, Miho & Pete were so kind & welcoming. We had scones & jam waiting when we arrived. Beautiful location, lots to see and do. Everything was provided, we were very happy with it all

Lovely, clean, well furnished cottage and great helpful hosts who made sure we had everything we needed and were extremely accommodating. Great views and situated within easy walk to widecombe village. We really enjoyed our stay and will be definitely going back sometime. P.s. Some absolutely delicious cream choux buns if you're lucky on checkout!

Peter and Miho were fantastic hosts, helping us get there, park, special baked treats and even picked us up from the moor when we had van troubles. We were so glad they were our hosts. The house is lovely, with a gorgeous views and clean comfortable rooms. I would highly recommend staying here, right in the middle of the moor.

Berrywood Cottage was a fantastic place to be in Dartmoor. Great views, good walks right from the cottage and a beautiful little village just down the road. Miho looked after us really well, including a delicious welcome tea and a kitchen stocked with breakfast supplies, including real coffee!

They have to be the kindest, Most thoughtful hosts to date, in my experience. The view to take from sitting on the patio overlooking the landscape of the Moor is second to none. I couldn't have asked for more, besides the aweful weather on most days of our trip.

It was a great pleasure to stay at Miho and Peter's Cottage. The cottage feels homey, beautiful view from the living room to the green valley. It's location amidst the wild expenses of Darmoor's National Park is stunning. A basket of fruits and miho's collection of jams were set in the handy kitchen. The rear garden supplied fresh vegetables and herbs which we our doughter could peek every day. Miho and Pete did all they could to make us feeling comfortable and sort out all our needs. They are friendly, talkative and pleasant. They joined us for a day trip and showed us hidden corners in the park, at evening they host us for an unforgettable dinner. It is a simple and humble place, well equipped for self catering and well located in the middle of the park, enabling a good access to all other villages and Devon's beautiful beach towns. Perfect for couples of families. We will be happy to come again, hopefully next summer

We arrived at about 3pm to find the cottage sitting as described right on the edge of the moor. A warm reception and wonderfully comfortable accomodation awaited us. Blessed with unexpected bright sunshine we enjoyed long walks and home cooked food from the well equipped kitchen. Miho and Peter were very welcoming and friendly hosts. Our dog Otto loved the environs of the cottage.

It's beautifully located and quiet and well stocked with all amenities. The hosts are hands on and made us feel welcome.

A really quirky house, interesting art pieces and a great bath - but don't expect cupboards doors to close neatly! Definitely felt welcomed - especially Cleo, our dog.

Lovely home!

Great location, very clean house, lovely decor.

A wonderful location. Truly unique and really quite beautiful inside. To me it epitomizes what AirBnB is all about; new places that offer homely comforts and experiences that you don't get from BnBs and Hotels. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Toby's place was absolutely beautiful a real pleasure to stay in.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the world.

What an inspiring place in a lovely village, all conviences at your doorstep. Greatly decorated and very comfortable. Enjoyed the garden and bbq! Very helpfull!

Beautiful house with lovely outdoor space and well located too! Toby was brilliant, and we had a wonderful time. Thanks so much.

The host canceled this reservation 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

It's worth staying the night just for the view out of the bedroom window in the morning!

Dawns place has a great view, is near Buckfastleigh and is very close to many Dartmoor walking routes. Plus the breakfast was top notch! I'd highly recommend Dawn's place.

A nice place in a great spot on Dartmoor. Perfect as a base for exploring the area. Large room and very comfy bed with private bathroom and Dawn cooked an excellent breakfast!

What a find! Dawn's place is absolutely gorgeous with stunning views all around! She took gran care to greet us and provide us with a lovely stay. The house was immaculate, her cakes fantastic and breakfast couldn't be better! Highly recommended!

A bit hard to find but we received a warm welcome, including tea and cake. Our spacious room had a nice rural outlook and the bathroom was well appointed. Breakfast each morning was delicious - juice, cereals, toast and the option of cooked breakfast as well. Would happily choose to stay here again.

I had a lovely stay at Higher Mill Leat Farm. The room is really comfortable, with kettle and home made biscuits. Immaculate adjacent bathroom. Dawn and her husband were kind and friendly hosts. I wholeheartedly recommend this place.

We spent three nights in Bank House and would gladly have stayed longer. The facilities, location and condition were great, it really was a home from home.We all had a fantastic half term break. Thank you Michael!

Michael welcomed us .... showed us around .... gave us all the information we needed and then gave us the privacy we desired ... perfect. Bank House is as described in the pictures ... a great example of how houses should be built! 12 foot ceilings and masses of space. The central location was perfect with great choice of all we needed ... tea rooms, restaurants, take aways, pubs (URL HIDDEN) a charming village setting. The village allows access to the moors and Devon's beaches (we discovered 3 new ones in our week's stay). Definitely recommend staying at Bank House.

The property is amazing. The photos do not do the size justice as there is more than enough room and the high ceilings give the place a grand feeling. Michael was really helpful and the guidebook had all the information we needed. The town is wonderful, filled with welcoming and friendly people. A must visit and we will definitely be returning.

We loved Ashburton and the proximity to other beautiful areas in Devon. The house was a great for the 6 of us to use as a base - thank you Michael!

Michael was there to great us and show us the parking spot and give a tour of his beautiful home. It was better than the pictures. The rooms are big the ceilings are very high. Lovely patio in the back. On the high street near a wonderful bakery, great fish shop, deli, chocolate, you name it the village has it. Everything was good quality beds, bedding kitchen we wish we could have stayed longer. We had four great days.

A great place, very spacious and everything you need supplied.

Stunning house, beautiful village and lovely host!

Bank House is lovely and tremendously spacious. We stayed with our three children (5,2, 5months) and they loved it there. The house was bright and spacey in a lovely village which we loved wandering around in the morning to get fresh fruit (greengrocer just down a few doors away) and fresh bed from the bakery. The town has lovely shops to buy gifts, antiques and homewares. The coop and spar are a few doors down which is really handy when you have little ones and need emergency supplies! The house itself was clean and had a welcoming feel. The welcome book answered all the questions we needed and we didn't need to ask anything further of the host as a result. We had enough towels provided by the host and the beds were very comfy! The bathroom was stunning but suffers a little water pressure issue if someone is running a tap downstairs! Perils of an old property and nothing too dramatic! In terms of location we though ashburton was perfect for a family. We didn't want to stay in the heart of a livelier area but needed somewhere close to lots of places to visit for the children. Paignton zoo was about 30 mins away and we also got the steam train from Paignton to Dartmouth one day too. On the way you must stop at The Almond Thief bakery in dartington - it has superb bakes and coffee! All in all we had a lovely stay. The parking was easy to find if not a bit of a squeeze for a large car but we managed fine. We would return.

Beautiful lodge, great views, lots of special touches. We stayed for 3 nights with our nine month old son and it was perfect for us. Small enough to keep an eye on him but big enough to enjoy our evenings after he went to bed.

The host canceled this reservation 23 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Had a wonderful stay at the Lodge. Really beautiful surroundings, wonderful being so close to the moor. We managed to do 3 days hiking without using the car, great! Really nicely fitted out place, very tasteful and comfortable. We'll be back!

Hatchwell Lodge is superb, the online photos do not do it justice and that is a good thing, the view is spectacular, the property is ideal and well laid out. We had a wonderful time at the Lodge and would not hesitate to return.

We stayed for three nights. The accommodation is exceptional. It is perfectly located for touring Dartmoor and surrounding area. Breakfast is amazing. Perfect place to stay. J

Phyllis and Mike were amazing hosts. They were very kind, hospitable and easy-going, and gave us plenty of advice about the area. The accommodation was everything and more than we expected. Super cozy, clean and in a perfect location with an amazing view! It even had a little garden opposite to the entrance to our private rooms. The breakfast was absolutely delicious catering for all of our tastes! Definitely going back!

we had a wonderful weekend exploring Devon and staying with Phyllis just made it for us. Really welcoming, very comfy and amazing breakfasts, thank you we would love to come back.

The Garden Room is ideally located for walking on Dartmoor or visiting the beautiful Teign or Dart Valleys. It is just minutes walk away from Haytor and the extensive walking on the The Moor. The Garden Room is also 1 minute walk away from "The Rock" a superb pub/restaurant. It is also a short drive away from the enchanting S.Devon coast. Phyllis and Mike were very welcoming , accommodating and interesting hosts and we could not fault the facilities as they were all brand new. We found that our own entrance to our facilities and complete privacy suited our visit. Breakfast was a choice of English or continental all with locally reared/grown produce of the highest calibre. We would highly recommend this venue and we will be returning to the Garden rooms to further explore the area.

How to begin to describe this fabulous place? Warm welcome, very private space, modern amenities, comfortable beds, a delicious and plentiful breakfast. The hosts were wonderful, kind, attentive, and made every effort to ensure that all of our needs were met. The location was perfect for exploring Dartmoor. Highly recommend!

It was absolutely wonderful to stay with Phyl and her husband. The room was great and breakfast was delicious. The house is well situated to get around on the Moor and we had a great time. I can only reccomend a Stay in Haytor and je I come back to the Moor I will definitely stay there again. Phyl and Mike were the best, most helpful and loveliest hosts there can be. Thank you so much!!!

From the minute we arrived until we left, Phyl and Mike made us feel so welcome. It wasn't almost like we were family. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was out of this world and I need the granola recipe, yum! Our little girl was referring to Phyl as her best friend by the end of the stay. Can't wait to come back.

Phyl and Mike were wonderful hosts who made me feel very welcome in their tranquil and cosy "Garden Room". If, like me, you are interested in walking, this b&b is ideally situated right on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. Phyl and Mike were happy to advise on walks around HayTor which is right nearby and other local attractions. Phyl cooks an amazing breakfast and for evening meals there is a wonderful, old fashioned inn just a short walk up the road. The Garden Room has its own entrance, it is clean and freshly decorated, the beds are very comfortable and the location is quiet and picturesque.

The photographs really do not do this place justice. The scenery and location were beautiful. The cottage was clean and cosy and very well equipped. The huge windows were great for admiring the landscape and the lovely Alpacas close by. Will definitely visit again. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. We were welcomed with a lovely cream tea. This is a real gem of a place!

We had a fantastic time. Diane and Steve were so friendly and welcoming. The cottage was clean, spacious and ready when we arrived, and we were also welcomed with some delicious cream tea. The view from the cottage was amazing, neighbouring with at least a dozen of gentle and beautiful alpacas. Robin cottage will no doubt be our first choice if we were to return to Devon again. Highly recommended - 2 thumbs up!

The perfect spot. A wonderfully clean and spacious cottage, with lovely indoor space and beautiful outdoor gardens. Diane made it easy to arrive when convenient & it was such a great welcome to receive the delicious Devonshire cream tea. The best antidote to a long drive! Diane was always helpful and our sons loved the opportunity to roam the gardens and feed the Alpacas. A gem of a holiday cottage. We WILL be back!

We have just spent a lovely weekend at Robin Cottage. We were welcomed with a delicious cream tea, learnt about the Alpacas and slept under an cosy alpaca fleece duvet. Our boys loved playing in the fields, on the tractors and watching the birds. It's a perfect location for exploring Dartmoor and the view from the cottage is stunning. We all came home relaxed and wanting to go back in the summertime to see how different it looks with the leaves out on the trees.

we arrived at the cabin and it was set up as described. it was warm and welcoming, basic supplies were in place and it was clean and comfortable. the next day, Steve stopped in and welcomed us to the cabin and the area. the yard was well groomed and we were welcomed to walk about the fields and view the neighboring alpacas that were inquisitive and friendly. although Poundgate only has 1 pub (which was actually very good!), there are neighboring towns close by that have everything you need and are a relatively short drive away. Dartmoor Park is a lovely area and if (and when) i come back to England, Steve and Diane of "robin and wren" cottages will be my first call ... than you so much!

We had an wonderful few days staying at Robin Cottage. Diane made us feel very welcome and the experience was everything we hoped it would be. Our daughter was able to run around in the private garden freely and had so much fun especially feeding the Alpacas living in the field next door. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped - the pictures on the website do not actually do the cottage justice. We cannot recommend this cottage highly enough!

Our holiday was lovely! Diane was available and helpful. The cottage is quiet and the setting is beautiful. Our children loved "the holiday cottage", exploring the moors, playing in the garden, visiting the alpacas, and lunching at the local pub. The location is central to do many things (hikes, walks and shops) and explore Dartmoor. We were very satisfied and highly recommend Robin Cottage!

Do not be deceived by the rectangular look of the building. Once inside, it was astonished to see a beautifully decorated English home, very warm and welcoming. The homemade scones were so delicious that I could not resist to ask Diane to share her receipe which she gladly did. The beds in both rooms were very comfy and the toilet cum bathroom was exceptionally huge. The kitchen was fully equiped, can cook a storm here. Supermarkets in the town were about 30 minutes drive away. Driving in from A38 need to be skilled and experienced as the road was narrow and hilly. An eye opener for city folks like us. The scenic view outside the cottage was the stunning vast green land of Dartmoor. The alpacas, sheep and horses were our neighnours, occasionally with birds chipping at the terrace. Every morning, Diane and Steve will welcome us to feed the alpacas and in the evening to collect the chicken eggs. Had we known earlier, we would have joined the llama and alpaca walk and picnic tour. When night falls, it was pitch dark and cold outside except the little lights from the trimmings at the terrace. It was this peace and quiet, warm and cosy feeling inside this English home that cannot be experienced in our sunny city island of Singapore which we came from. Thank you Diane and Steve for sharing your lovely home with us. Before departing, Diane extended her phone contact to my daughter as she will be starting her first year of university in Exeter alone this September. Diane was so caring.

Tanya was so incredibly welcoming in her emails. She was very attentive and supported me to get the most of my stay at the Bakehouse. She was able to meet all of my needs and then continued to offer her support whenever I needed it. The Bakehouse has such a wonderful feel to it, very grounded, quiet and right in nature. Expect to get the best night's sleep you've had in ages here!!! I used the Bakehouse as a retreat space and my client really appreciated the peace and quiet, spaciousness and knowing that Tanya and Kevin were close by in she needed anything during the times I wasn't there. Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality! I will be back!!

Such a peaceful, beautiful and inspirational place. The Bakehouse is stunning and full of great design. Tanya is a wonderful host and can supply all sorts of lovely food ;) The setting is breathtaking with views across the hills and the River at the bottom of the garden. If you want to unplug from the world, de stress and be inspired then this is the perfect haven for you.

My girlfriend and I stayed in The Bakehouse for a long weekend and as soon as we set foot on the driveway we knew we were never going to want to leave! A beautiful split level conversion with acres of space and oozing character from all pockets. We actually felt it was bigger than we were expecting and plenty of storage, everywhere!! Private benches tucked out the way and access to the 2 acres of land they own was all offered to us to enjoy. Both Tanya and Kevin were fantastic hosts. The recommendations for food were brilliant, The Rugglestone Inn being a real highlight, and ideas for walks and places to visit were spot on as well. The honesty box system with 'provisions' left in the kitchen was something we weren't expecting to use but after a long day out and about, being able to have a quick, easy dinner with all the bits provided was fantastic. Not to mention a few snacks for the bags as we went out! We simply can't explain what a great place this is to stay in for both accessibility to walks and local towns, comfort and kindness from the hosts. Highly recommended to all!

Tanya and Kevin were great hosts and the Bakehouse was the perfect retreat. Ideally placed for the best walks in Dartmoor and only a short drive to the local pub and shops!

A wonderful place. Interesting and intriguing design. Every comfort and more.

Great house near the river, perfect place for a proper retreat (they even have a yoga room!), no signal (but you have wifi) so if you wish to disconnect for a few hours/days thats's the perfect place! Great breakfast too with local yoghurt. I wish we'd stay longer!

The Bakehouse and our hosts Tanya and Kevin, simply could not have been better. The Bakehouse has such great character, yet it at the same time is considerately designed. It's very spacious and you have use of the many rooms in the building, including a yoga room a proper kitchen and a small study! It was comfortable, charming and beautifully furnished with a big comfortable bed, it was great also great to have towels and extra blankets provided. Tanya and Kevin were extremely helpful, gave us simple directions for a quick walk and even lent us a raincoat. The location allows great access to the Moor and many other wild walks! They left us things for a lovely breakfast, which had been carefully tailored to my girlfriends allergies. They also had a few cupboards with a very reasonable honesty box system so if we needed anything more that would have been very easy. It really was a perfect stay and our only regret is that we could stay longer than a night; we are really looking forward to going back!

A stone cottage worth the visit, with excellent hosts. Tanya and Kevin provided plenty of information of how to get to our destination. A magical cosy cottage with plenty of character, plenty of equipment provided. The photos doesn't do justice of how beautiful it really is. We would definitely want to visit again, and stay for longer. Thank you Tanya and Kevin.

The house was LOVELY and the pictures, as amazing as they look, don't do the place justice. The house has lots of little corner rooms and areas that add character and uniqueness. Being on Ashburton's high street also means that convenience stores, pharmacy and a wealth of local shops are seconds away. Wendy was super welcoming and made me feel very welcome straight away.

Fabulous house -perfect for our family as kids getting older and really need their own space now. Ashburton a great base for Dartmoor walking as well as day trips to other areas as well as seaside -cannot fault

After a very long flight from Australia our family arrived to the lovely Dorncliffe house in Ashburton. Wendy and Chris were kind enough to meet us. The house was perfect for our four week stay, extremely well equipped with very comfortable bedrooms and heaps of space to unpack. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the town has great cafes, bakery and loads of antique shops. Many Thanks to Wendy and Chris for all their hospitality. We shall keep in touch. Regards Perkins family

The house is huge, spread over four stories- the rooms are really quirky with beautiful character and art all over the house, kitchen well equipped- there is a balcony through a window which we had dinner on one evening. Wendy was super helpful and friendly when we arrived and in comms prior to the visit. Ashburton is a beautiful village, with lots of really lovely delicatessens - we stocked up! You are spoiled for choice there! Walking around the village and local area is easy and there are many routes - all with breathe taking views. The house is super clean and tidy, parking is close by and wasnt an issue for us at all - really reasonable for Devon! We loved our stay here, and can't thank Wendy enough for having us - highly recommended for a restful break!

We had a lovely time here, and it was the perfect place to see in the New Year! Wendy made us feel very welcome, from all communications before, to flexibility on arriving later than planned and leaving us some yummy chocolate biscuits! The house is beautifully decorated, and the kitchen well equipped for cooking - we make easily made a 3 course meal for 6. What we saw of Ashburton was lovely, and we enjoyed some local walks on Dartmoor with some delicious pub lunches for halfway fuel! Thank you Wendy for an excellent weekend, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing break.

Wendy cheerily greeted our party at the house on arrival with fresh flowers on the table and a homemade crumble in the fridge which we enjoyed after our evening meal later with the local sparkling fruit juice! Both delicious! These touches made us instantly feel at home and valued as guests. The house is laid out over 4 floors which allowed us plenty of space and since there is a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor not a problem for my 85 year old mother to manage just one flight of stairs. The house is ideally situated for ease of access to the delightful town which again made it very convenient for mum, whose mobility is not so good, to get around comfortably. Wendy made helpful suggestions for nearby places to visit and eat out which would provide easy parking and level access and was a friendly welcoming host. We had a really enjoyable 4 day stay. Thank you Wendy.

A fabulous characterful house and location, well equipped, in the middle of excellent restaurants and independent shops. Wendy and Chris extremely helpful without being intrusive. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in and outside of the house. Would definitely return.

This lovely house was perfect for our needs - two families sharing a holiday home. The interiors are lovely and the kitchen is extremely well-equipped, allowing us to cook and bake for some big family meals. The house is right in the centre of Ashburton, literally yards from independent food shops and restaurants, and a quick cut through the churchyard opposite takes you to the recreation ground for the children. Although it has no parking, it is less than a minute's walk to the town car park, and you can even check on your car in the middle of the night from the bathroom window! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this great house to anyone wanting a holiday in the south Dartmoor area.

The cottage was perfect, even better described and in a perfect location for access to the Moor. Diane went the extra step further and left us some delicious scones for our arrival.

We felt welcomed from before we even arrived at Wren Cottage with some friendly emails from Diane. We arrived dripping wet from a rainy walk but immediately warmed up with the delicious cream tea that awaited us! The cottage is amazing and a lovely space to relax in. Great views and well stocked bird feeders meant there was always something to see. Diane and Steve are lovely, warm people who shared their local knowledge and their Alpaca knowledge freely! Definitely a place to return to.

Wren Cottage was the perfect place in Dartmoor for our 3 person family trip through the UK. Diane was always really quick in replying and so our arrival went smoothly and a welcoming cream tea was waiting for us in our cottage. This holiday home is extremely well equipped for self-catering and offers lots of storage space for personal items on top of it. It is situated perfectly for city dwellers who want to escape to the country for a bit - the views are stunning and the adjacent terrace and garden are beautiful and well kept. The sofa bed for the third person was surprisingly comfortable and very easy to put up and take down again in the morning. While your mobile signal might be a little patchy there, the WiFi was flawless, so if you want to really disconnect you might want to switch your devices off completely. For our day trips we never had to drive very far to find lovely spots to visit and enjoy the nature and we also found lots of "inspirational material" provided in the cottage. Diane and Steve were also very accommodating when we had to wait for breakdown service in the morning of our departure because of a flat tire. We absolutely recommend staying in this lovely place, if you want to visit Dartmoor - we would certainly do it again.

What a fantastic place! Steve and Diane were very friendly , welcoming and accommodating. Great communication from the start and throughout, and the cream tea was a nice touch. The cottage is in such a beautiful setting with views over the valley and so quiet and peaceful. We all loved watching the alpacas, birds and squirrels through the window when it was raining. It was such a great experience for the children to help feed the alpacas, and Steve and Diane went out of their way to let us know when this would be happening each day. This kind of care and friendliness makes such a difference to a holiday. The cottage is more spacious than it looks in the photos. It has everything you need and might want - kids were entertained with jigsaws, cards and dominoes and I had all the information I needed to plan walks (both from Steve and from a number of guidebooks in the cottage) and the wifi is good. The kitchen is really well stocked - there's even one of those things for getting a tight lid off a jar! I usually don't sleep well away from home but the beds and the bedding in Robin Cottage are very luxurious and comfortable. I slept really well, thank you. Perfect holiday cottage with excellent hosts.

Very nice place on a beautiful spot. The cottage was bigger than we expected. And it was nice for the kids to play outside. Feeding the alpaca s was fun!! Dianne is a good and friendly host!

What a fantastic break. The local area is perfect for exploring, it is on the doorstep to many walks, the river Dart and the Dart Country Park. Ashburton is the nearest village and is picturesque . A great balance of 'away from it all' and 'near the larger towns'. The Wren is a beautiful spacious holiday cottage. The photos simply do not do the place justice, we experienced so much more in real life. The living area is luxurious, comfortable and really well laid out, the kitchen has all that you need and more. We loved our break with our two young children. The surrounding visiting wildlife of birds, sheep, horses and squirrels kept the kids fascinated. By far the most favourite part of the holiday for the kids was the Alpacas, so much fun. Thank you Diane and Steve for your patience with us and the children, Aplaca feeding was a highlight for our eldest. Great warm hosts and such a lovely touch with the cream tea on arrival. We are looking forward to coming back again.

We had an amazing experience. Our daughter loved feeding the alpacas and watching the animals surrounding us. It was beautiful and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We didn't have to go far to enjoy nature and gorgeous views. We would love to return another time and wish we could have stayed longer.

Wren cottage was a lovely place for me and my cousins to stay and explore Dartmoor from. Diane and partner were wonderful hosts; very helpful and brought us tea, milk and sugar in the middle of the night. The views from the cottage are fantastic and the living areas are excellent. Will definitely visit again. Many thanks.
