Dog Friendly Cottages In Dartmoor

What our customers say about their holidays

• Mr Ray - Verified booking

  We absolutely loved our stay in this quaint village. The accommodation was pristine clean, the view wonderful, the owners accommodating and helpful, and the local areas stunning. The garden overlooks picturesque fields, several which are available and perfect for dog walks, whilst others give you a lovely view of cows grazing and general farm life. The garden itself is fenced, with metal fence mesh behind it to ensure your pooch won't take themselves on walkies without you. Inside you have all you need, with WiFi, Netflix, all your expected utilities, heating (and a log burner), a powerful shower and a good sized bath. An upstairs and a downstairs toilet also makes things a lot nicer for a family. The local pub is but a few minutes walk away and the people there are very friendly and offer good quality food. Tiverton is the closest town we used and is around a 20 minute drive, is a nice place to visit, and have a really nice view of the river running through it via a bridge and a walkway running next to it. After having several holidays in a row that were more hustle and bustle, this was literally and figuratively a breath of fresh air and has made us put Devon at the top of our list of holiday destinations next year! Highly recommended, and from the communication we've had with the owner, it is a place they genuinely want to pour their love and passion into.

  The owner's direct contact with us was potentially helpful, but in fact the keys were not where they were said to be by him but were in the key safe as expected.

  The name sign for the property is barely legible and should be renewed as a matter of urgency. The owners directions to the property were misleading, although we recognize that navigating Devon lanes is a nightmare. For the information of future visitors to the property can we respectfully suggest the following: the easiest route to Toad Hall in the final stages is to proceed from Totnes via Harbertonford until the BP filling station is reached on the junction with the Dartmouth road on the left. Proceed past the turn to Dartmouth for a few hundred metres and look out for the LEFT turn to SLAPTON. Take this LEFT turn and proceed until there is a RIGHT turn marked with a white finger post. Take the LEFT turn immediately beyond this RIGHT turn. This lane goes directly to the final destination. Toad Hall is on the left behind the first group of houses that will appear. Turn in left at the sign "Middle Hutcherleigh" between the buildings and make an immediate - and very tight - right turn that will take you past Toad Hall, which is a single storey building on the left, hopefully with a renewed name sign. Further ahead down the slope and round a left curve in the track is the parking area. We think that a teapot should be provided. The food bin was in a disgusting state and wasn't where it was supposed to be.

  We arrived on a dark very wet evening.

  It was impossible to find this place. We eventually had to call at a house to ask for help. He agreed it was not very easy to find. Put up some directions. The cottage was freezing cold. Had a radiator in lounge area, which we later discovered, was not operable due to no gas in the property!!!. We sat with blankets around us until we got the fire going. The TV did not work for the whole of our visit. Misadvertising. Loads of DVD’s which proved TV did not work. Now the bed. We are both in our 70’s. The person next to the wall had to get the other person to move every time they get up. The only place that was warm all the time was the toilet area. Not much good. We would never visit this property again. It needs a lot of jobs doing to it. Ps no freezer compartment in the fridge. Couldn’t get the cooker top ever to work.

  Quirky cosy comfortable cottage in a very peaceful rural hamlet setting, with lots of narrow lanes to navigate to get too.

  Amazed by the ceiling friesche beautiful detail, cottage all on one level which was easier for our older dog. We made full use of the log burner on the coldest November nights. Only a few small negative points maybe a welcome pack would have been a nice touch, and we had to wash the cutlery draw as was dirty with long grey hairs in there. Was very central to all South Devon has to offer Totnes, Dartmouth and salcombe and some lovely beaches. Recommend the Old Inn halwell lovely evening meal and The Sportsman's Arms Blackawton for a fabulous Sunday carvery. Just two suggestions maybe an iron and ironing board would be handy, and for privacy a side curtain or net for the small side window by sofa. Enjoyed our time thoroughly thank you.

  A lovely house set in countryside surroundings that offer a super relaxing holiday setting. We stayed over Christmas and the house was decorated with a Christmas tree and lights which was a lovely touch. We found the kitchen to be well equipped, a selection of games available along with an ironing board and iron should you require it during your stay. The beds were super comfy with great views of the surrounding countryside from the double bedroom at the back. The wood burner created a lovely warm atmosphere which added to the Christmas feel. The Smart TV was perfect for two teenagers to find entertainment along with the requisite WiFi! All in all, a wonderful house to spend a week in Devon.
