Metal runner sticking up .which was dangerous special as we had young children. Beam in the floor was broken. Leaving a dip In the floor .not very clean cups and cutlery dirty. Needs a lot of work doing to the property. The electricity should be in the price . Not a add addition .

The property is adequately equipped with everything needed for self catering (except oven gloves which would have been helpful). Rooms are large enough for 7 people to stay comfortably. Some maintenance is required, lights not working, toilet door latch sticks, drawer knob missing, mattresses need upgrading. Paths to the pool are at risk of becoming overgrown. Just small things that would have made a difference to the overall quality of the place. The recycling system was a bit confusing and there were no instructions about using oven and dishwasher etc. Over all it was a very pleasant stay and good value

Basics such as bed linen and towels are included but nothing else. Make sure you take with you what you will need for first 24 hrs, milk tea ,coffee etc. Personal we felt the property could do with some finishing touches. I stayed here with my mum and it was a great location for family visitors. As my mums mobility is limited we spent a lot of time in the cottage. We like to have gatherings so I cooked every day. Because of this I feel we noticed things others would not have. Neither of us were there for fishing. We found that Bramble cottage smelt damp especially in the large bedroom, we used at least £15-20 electric which is not included. The heating was temperamental and hard to manage. It could be sweltering upstairs and freezing downstairs. A curtain over the outside door might help with drafts etc. The extractor fan of the cooker is not actually fully fixed to the wall and the latch on one of the downstairs bathrooms sticks meaning your at risk of getting stuck. Itâs quite dark if you return at night so an outside light would be helpful. Unfortunately the internet went down for the week we were staying. We made do, but if itâs a family with children going I would advise you take games, dvdâs etc as nothing is at the property. The property is very close to Okehampton where you can find supermarkets. Itâs not the easiest to find unless you use Google maps. Beware sat navigation is tricky in this area and not always accurate. Despite this we had a good week especially considering it wasnât the warmest weather. Very close to Dartmoor, and a fantastic pub The Castle Inn which I highly recommend, they are so friendly and welcoming.
