Chagford is a great centre for exploring Dartmoor and a really nice vibrant little town, with shops, cafes, galleries and pubs/restaurants. Lots of great walks on the doorstep too. We would book again.

Maybe a blind in the sitting room instead of curtains so it could be more private whilst letting in light. We had a lovely stay
