    The location outside Tavistock was brilliant. The property is on private land and is surrounded by fields and forest. Birdsong woke us each morning. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Such a peaceful place.

    Wonderful cottage in a rural setting providing a scenic retreat. Comfortable furnishings. Pictures don't do the accommodation justice

    It was lovely and clean, everything we needed was there and it was easy to find. There was a lovely welcome of scones, clotted cream and jam on our arrival too which was such a lovely extra touch.
