  What a wonderful place to stay for a holiday on the moor.

  Clean,cosy, comfortable. A well laid out holiday cottage, good sized bedrooms, great well-equipped kitchen and an airy and well lit sitting room. The owners have taken time and care in making this an ideal place to base a getaway from busyness and stress. Everything worked and was easy to use with good instructions. It was great to leave the car safely parked and just cross over the road and onto the moor for a stroll up to Haytor rocks and beyond. On the Sunday we went up to Widecombe church where we received a warm welcome and then back to the cottage for lunch followed by a walk over to the medieval village at Hound Tor. A good place for an excellent meal after a walk near Widecombe is the Ruddlestone Inn, where the atmosphere and food is excellent. We would have loved to stay for a further week if it had been possible. Long may Ludgate Cottage continue to be a lovely place to come to for future visitors and their families.

  The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable.

  The useful information folder was welcome, lots of cottages seem not to bother with this anymore but it’s a real help. With children we tend to eat in, and the lovely big kitchen made this an easy option. Also nice to have a full size freezer. Plenty of crockery and cutlery.The children loved the beds and sofas, they were very also very comfortable. The cottage is also well situated in a beautiful location up on Dartmoor but within easy access to nearby towns and coast, so lots of options for different outings. It is very rural so you need to drive with care , we had lots of encounters with ponies , cows and sheep on and off the roads. This added to the children’s pleasure! Lots of games ,DVDs, books available in cottage for wet days are a nice touch. Wi-Fi worked very well. We would certainly consider a return visit and would thoroughly recommend.

  This holiday cottage has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay but its biggest feature is the location.

  A beautiful view over the valley and the sea on one side of the property and Dartmoor on the doorstep on the other side. There is easy access to many Devon attractions and Bovey Tracey has three supermarkets and a range of interesting shops to explore. We loved being able to go out for a walk on the moor after dinner in the evening. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and I really enjoyed cooking on the induction hob and having a choice of ovens. We stayed for two weeks and the bed change and clean mid way was really appreciated. Thank you! Although the weather wasn't great we had a fabulous holiday and made the most of the facilities in the cottage and the beautiful surrounding Devon countryside.

  A comfortable and very well equipped cottage in an ideal position.

  The upside down nature of the cottage resulted in the bedrooms remaining cool even in the hottest days. Easy walking to an excellent pub (Rock Inn) where we had a great Sunday lunch and the Moorland hotel for evening meals. Easy walks (I am 85) from the cottage to Haytor, Saddle Tor , Haytor Quarry (a beautiful peaceful place with the ponds especially early in the morning) and the fascinating tramway. Also idea for visits to Dartmoor villages, river walks, Buckfast Abbey, Buckland Abbey, Castle Drago and the wonderful garden at The Garden House. I thank the owner for the delicious Bakewell Tart and for milk, condiments etc. We had a great week at Ludgate Cottage.

  Lovely clean and tidy cottage within the Dartmoor National Park.

  Nice open feel to the upstairs lounge, kitchen spacious and well equipped. Were 4 of us, 2 adults and 2 young children and it was a perfect size. Cottage was spotless when we arrived. Beds were comfortable and everyone slept like a log. Can walk right on to the moor. Becky Falls and Bovey Tracey open air pool 10 mins away. Lots of fabulous beaches within a leisurely 45-50 mins drive. Suited us to be based away from the beach areas with a nice journey back to the moor. Would recommend Ludgate Cottage to anyone. Would happily return and hope to do so
