Ludgate Cottage in Devon is highly praised for its cleanliness, prime location for walking and exploring Dartmoor, and comfortable amenities. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, cosy atmosphere, and thoughtful touches like a welcome cake. While some minor issues are noted, the overall sentiment is extremely positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
The cottage consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'spotless' and 'clean'. Only one review mentioned a minor issue with a dishwasher, but this does not significantly impact the overall high standard observed.
The location is frequently highlighted as ideal, with direct access to Dartmoor and proximity to local attractions. The scenic views and ease of access to walking paths contribute to the exceptional rating.
Comfort is well-regarded, with mentions of comfortable beds and a cosy setting. A few reviews noted issues with settees and a desire for a shower handle, but these are minor compared to the overall comfort experienced.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen. Some reviews noted a reduction in glasses and cups, and minor issues with a cooker and dishwasher. Maintenance responsiveness is good, but the presence of minor issues leads to a slightly lower score.
Thoughtfulness is evident in the provision of a welcome cake and attention to detail. While these gestures are appreciated, it is politely noted that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary with each stay.
Below the striking Dartmoor landmark of Haytor is this semi-detached cottage, close to the small village of Haytor Vale. With amazing views as far as the sea, this is a wonderful place for walking, cycling and touring the magnificent scenery. Head up the steps to the front door and through the hall you will find two downstairs oak-floored bedrooms with a bathroom. The big airy sitting room with characterful beams is upstairs for those absorbing views, together with a kitchen fitted in oak and black granite with a dining area. The grassy garden opposite the cottage faces south and has a picnic table for alfresco meals, and you can store bikes in a garage. The focal point of this friendly cottage is clearly the surrounding moorland which is perfect for enjoying the great outdoors and gazing at the panoramic views. Welcoming little towns and villages like Bovey Tracey and Widecombe-in-the-Moor have plenty of eateries and places of interest to explore. Ludgate Cottage is a fine place for discovering Dartmoor and Devon's countryside.
