The property was exceptional so lovely and warm, peaceful and very comfortable indeed a home from home. It is a short walk from Tarmar Lakes which gives a lovely 2.5 miles walk around with abundant of wildlife to see just a shame that in November the cafe wasn't open. Lovely pub near by The New Inn in Kilkhampton which serves wonderful food and BudRead moree is a short drive which offers two amazing beaches and plenty of eateries to suit everyone's taste in food.

This is one of the best thought through cottages we have stayed at, it was really well equipped and very practical, with a strong emphasis on being accompanied by dogs. Great dark skies location, wonderfully quiet and very good hosts who deserve a great deal of credit for thinking through the facilities from the point of view of the visitor.
