Very little to complain of - there is no microwave which is slightly inconvenient, some nicer / larger mugs to drink from would be nice , and as an artist, I would have preferred landscapes to senoritas, but that's just me : ) It is a little difficult to find and up a narrow lane, but that's expected in the countryside - Google Maps will lead you there - though I recommend not switching the directions on until you are on the A388. As a clue, you turn where you see the name or signs to 'Countryman Cider'.

Exceeded my expectations - I was thinking it would be a chalet amongst others or part of a multiple accommodation complex, in fact it is a period property, a huge self-contained flat above a stable block, attached to the main part of the house where the host lives, but very private and quiet. It has a large kitchen with granite fireplace, wood burner, lovely high windows letting in lots of light, an enormous living room with a pool table and TV, and two bedrooms. The building is part of a delightful old rectory set in landscaped fields and gardens with amazing views over to the parish church. Magnus our host was so helpful at all times and his dog Henry was such a sweetie. The main bedroom had the most comfortable and super wide bed I have slept in outside of a fourstar hotel, my husband is very tall and usually suffers in holiday accommodation beds but he was very pleased with it! There is a terrace with table and patio chairs to sit out, horses in the fields and quick access to both Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor areas, North Cornwall coast, Tavistock and Launceston the nearest pretty towns. Tranquil and beautiful location - will stay again if we can!

We loved the rural location and Henry the dog who played with our kids each day. Apartment was very spacious, clean and comfortable.

Cannot improve on perfection

It was self catering, but Magnus provided eggs, bread, milk and quite a few other groceries for us, which was above and beyond what we expected. Excellent

No microwave and a smoky smell from the fireplace despite we didn't use it

Very spacious place, very clean, quickly felt at home there

Absolutely superb accommodation for lovers of the countryside, set in a truly beautiful location and providing some great facilities. A well-maintained country house with loads of space both inside and outside, making it ideal for some quick walks with our dog as well. The house was clean and comfortable, and we particularly loved the pool table and the wood burner, which kept the dining room really warm. Magnus, the host, was very helpful and accommodating to our requests, making our stay truly hassle-free - the dogs were lovely too and made our little pooch super welcome! Definitely worth visiting again in the spring/summer as the house's location is ideal for daily trips to numerous nearby destinations in both Devon and Cornwall.

Second visit this year. It’s lovely and peaceful. Good size accommodation with pool table which we love. Enjoyed the area and walking Dartmoor. The owner is lovely and the dogs well behaved and welcoming. Will be back again next year etc

It's a bit colder in the living room than in the rest of the house, which is a bit bothersome with children, but it's that time of year.

Very beautiful surroundings. Peace and quiet. The owner was very nice and helpful. Dogs very friendly. There was fresh bread, eggs, milk, butter, jam and Nutella for the children waiting for us in the house, for which we are very grateful :) There was a billiard table in the living room, so it was a big plus for this entertainment.A charming house where we felt at home.

The stairs to the apartment were steep and difficult when getting suitcases up and down, but not a real problem for us, it might be for some people though.

The apartment was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Everything we needed was provided, and Magnus provided artisan bread, butter, milk, fresh farm eggs, tea, coffee and condiments which was very generous. Loved having the pool table to entertain us in the evenings especially as the tv reception was very poor/non existent. Made a nice change to not watch tv actually. We loved Magnus’s two dobermans and enjoyed seeing his horses in the fields around this stunning property.

Nothing really.

The Property is spacious and in a lovely rural setting. It is spacious and well equipped. The host is friendly and provided fresh bread and milk for us. There are restaurants not far away.

We had a wonderful family time at Devon Country Paradise. The kids just loved this apartment! Magnus was a great host who provided eggs, milk and the best homemade bread we had so far on our journey in England. He was very helpful with the washing machine..... we had a loooot of clothes to wash :)

Everything was excellent

There was nothing about this we didn’t like.

It felt like a real home from home. Loved the comfortable environment and use of colour! And the water !!!! We felt very welcomed with all my favourite things in supplied .. Soda Bread , Real butter, fresh eggs , bottle of wine…. what’s not to love.

No microwave.. I took food with me to heat up, we managed but would have been easier with one. It was a little cold in the main sitting room, eventhough radiators were warm, we could only get BBC 1 and 2 on TV the other chanels kept breaking up.

Host was very nice and accommodating, lovely space, peaceful, we had fresh bread, farm eggs and milk on arrival, told us of a lovely pub for dinner, Castle inn was excellent, my granddaughter watched the horses being shoed. And we all had cuddles with the dogs.

Can't think of anything. It was all great!

Magnus was a great host and explained everything upon our arrival. There was bread and milk etc... provided which was very welcome. We received an email prior to our arrival that was very informative. Accommodation was spacious and comfortable.

Television reception poor. Not easy to find if you haven't got a satnav!

The remote location in a glorious setting but relatively close to Tavistock and Launceston was exceptional. The spaciousness of the apartment was a pleasant surprise.

The attitude of the host. He was rude from the start to the point that although we pre-paid for 4 days we left after 2. He is totally unsuitable to host guests. We also think he may have had covert CCTV cameras installed inside. He has 2 big Doberman dogs that can be intimidating. DO NOT STAY HERE unless you like a challenge.

The fridge

On arrival, we were greeted by the homeowner Angus which then led us to our accommodation. He asked us to take off our trainers at the bottom of the stairs, which quite surprised me because and stairs were very worn and had seen better days. He then proceeded to take us upstairs where we had to go from the lounge and walk through a bedroom to get access to the bathroom and kitchen to get to the next bedroom ! my colleague was not impressed that I had to keep on walking through his bedroom to get to the kitchen or to my bedroom, I can’t understand how they can class this as a two bedroom stay.. Please be aware of the steep stairs, I twisted my ankle very badly as there is a indent under the mat at the bottom of the stairs ( photo attached) which forced us to go home after the first night .. when I messaged Angus of this incident, his contradictory replied saying that he can see the indent and will get it filled in that day, but can’t understand how I did it !
