On arrival we were warmly welcomed by the host and it was a treat to find a Devonshire cream tea waiting for us in the cottage. The cottage was clean, comfortable and warm and with fantastic views and the situation couldn't have been better for us. Not only could we explore the immediate area of Oakhampton and Dartmoor, but with great access to the A30, the north and south coasts were easily within reach allowing us to visit Bude down to Port Issac, Plymouth through to St Austell and all places in between. We had some great walks. Thank you Kelvin and Sue, oh, and thanks for the fresh eggs from your ducks, they were lovely.

Very quiet location. Cottage had everything that we needed for our stay - âhome away from homeâ. Ideal location for visiting our friend in Okehampton, but also just a short drive over the border into Cornwall too. Definitely somewhere that we will return to.
