Woodlands in Devon offers a peaceful and secluded stay with spacious and comfortable accommodation. Guests appreciate the quiet location, the welcoming touches like fresh flowers and a welcome pack, and the property's proximity to Dartmoor. The garden is a haven for wildlife, adding to the charm of the cottage. While some guests mention a need for minor improvements and better information provision, the overall experience is highly regarded.
The property generally receives positive remarks on cleanliness, with guests finding it clean but noting room for improvement in thoroughness. Some guests mentioned the property was not spotless, suggesting a need for more meticulous cleaning.
The location is praised for its peacefulness and proximity to Dartmoor, though some guests note the need to drive to reach local attractions. The secluded nature contributes to a tranquil experience, which is highly valued by visitors.
Guests find the property comfortable, with ample space and a warm atmosphere. However, some guests mention that certain furniture could be more comfortable and that the mattress firmness varies between rooms.
The facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and good bathrooms. However, guests suggest that additional kitchen equipment and better Wi-Fi would enhance the experience. Maintenance issues like a slow-draining shower and the need for a privacy door in the en-suite are noted.
The welcome pack and fresh flowers are appreciated gestures that guests find thoughtful. However, it is politely noted that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary. The lack of a comprehensive information book for guests is a point for potential improvement.
Woodlands, a single-storey bungalow set on a working farm in Northlew, Devon is the perfect base from which to enjoy the many attractions this wonderful county has to offer. The location is superb, with a stunning garden for you to enjoy and a private setting so you can relax in style, as well as a spacious interior ideal for families, couples or friends. Inside, the kitchen is a stylish space, with an electric oven, an induction hob, and a sage green kitchen where you can rustle up delicious dinners for your group. From here, the sitting room, which has a toasty woodburning stove, is a great spot to while away the hours by the fire, while the nearby dining room offers somewhere to catch up on the day’s adventures with a glass of wine. Take advantage of the ample seating in the conservatory, perfect for when you want to admire the pretty garden from inside. Outside will really steal the show; the large, well-maintained garden is a lovely outdoor space with a lawn, a patio with furniture and lush plants, and it is perfect for chilling out in, whether that be a glass of wine, your morning coffee, or lawn games with the children, and you may even spot deer during your trip! Back inside, the bathroom has all the amenities you could ever need, with a bath, a shower over, and a towel rail that keeps your towels warm. When sleep calls, take your pick from three bedrooms; the first bedroom is a king room with a wardrobe, the second bedroom is generously furnished with a double bed and an en-suite shower room for extra privacy, while the third bedroom has a double bed and plenty of room to store your possessions. Explore your surroundings and pop into Northlew to stock up on your essentials at the shop, or enjoy a refreshing drink at the local pub. Hatherleigh is a quaint town home to a number of attractions, including the War Horse Valley Country Farm Park and the Meeth Quarry Nature Reserve. Visitors can also enjoy a number of activities in the town, such as hiking, fishing, and horseback riding. Within easy reach is the town of Okehampton, with its charming castle, awe-inspiring viaduct, and ancient stone circle, there's plenty to see and do in this lovely town. If that's not enough, you can also enjoy stunning views from Higher Tor or go for a peaceful walk along the River Okement. Further afield, you can explore Darmoor National Park for a wealth of walking and cycling opportunities, or head to the coast for a day at the beach. Woodlands is an idyllic escape, any time of year.
