What a lovely cottage, felt at home straight away. Nice and spacious comfortable and clean. There are great views from the outside space where I sat and enjoyed watching the swifts. Would definitely stay at the cottage again lots more to explore. The Tors pub 15 mins away is worth a visit great views and easy access to walks on the Dartmoor.

Lovely newly converted cottage. Really warm and clean and thoughtfully furnished. We had a relaxing break. One good walk from door (Meldon Viaduct) and other great Dartmoor walks a short drive away.

The Cake House was the perfect place to celebrate my husbands birthday in between Christmas and New Year. The location is perfect, stunning rural location but the convenience of nearby Okehampton.
