The welcoming pack was very thoughtful adding to a well presented property. Previous comments regarding parking are very harsh. It is challenging but no as bad as it fist appears. It is centrally located near to the A30 providing direct routes throughout Devon.

The directions provided were simple to follow and took me straight to the property. Little Torr included everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Although I am a keen and long standing car driver I did find the slopping gravel areas a little difficult to negotiate for parking, however, I would have no hesitation in staying at the property again. Jo provided a warm welcome, and included a welcome pack above and beyond the level normally expected. Many Thanks
