Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrienne M. 24 Apr 2018 #### Lovely Dartmoor Cottage by Haytor Rocks My family of four stayed in the cottage for Easter week. It is a lovely cottage, with a beautiful comfortable front room with a fireplace and dining room, a well appointed kitchen and breakfast nook and nice sized bedrooms. The master bedroom is particularly large and comfortable. The owners were very helpful and friendly, and it is nice to be next door to the inn - which we visited on our last evening for a superb dinner. It is well situated in the moors, and in spite of the rain we saw many lovely churches and villages. I would highly recommend the cottage -- 5 out of 5. ##### Adrienne M.

Very spacious and well equipped house. Fantastic walks from the door straight onto the Moor. Superb service and food as ever from The Rock Inn (next door but never noisy). ##### Jonathan L. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hailey S. 10 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Brilliant location for a country getaway The cottage is a lovely place to stay for families or a romantic break. Has all the facilities you need, including a washing machine which isn't listed on the website. Kitchen is fully stocked with all the utensils you need for some home cooking and the cupboards came with some dry food to get you started along with some dishwasher and washing machine tablets. The cottage itself is really spacious and the garden on the other side of the road is very pretty. The moors are a short walking distance away and the Rock Inn pub/restaurant serves delicious meals and has a good selection of wines etc. The fireplace is great and the owners will give you a basket of logs and any top ups if you ask for more. Overall, it was a great place to stay and we will be returning soon, highly recommended. ##### Hailey S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane D. 25 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent property in a brilliant location The house was well equipped with everything you could need. As the owners are located next door in the pub, any queries could be answered immediately and the staff were incredibly helpful. The house was very roomy and absorbed three generations with no problems. The garden across the road occupied my grandchildren adequately when necessary. The location close to Haytor Rocks is beautiful. Ate one night in the pub and I can highly recommend the food as an added bonus to staying here. ##### Jane D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jesse W. 4 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pure delight Beautiful cottage next to a fabulous inn.

Fantastic cottage, everything that we needed for a family stay! ##### louise r. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Virginia K. 1 Jul 2018 #### Just what we wanted Comfortable and charming and next door to the excellent Rock Inn. There was plenty of space for our multi-generation group of 7 adults. Walking distance to the moor at Haytor. Well-equipped for cooking & eating when we could resist the lure of the Rock. And very comfy beds after those long walks. Ideal for our very active group. (The bedroom with 2 single beds has low beams but there was only one bumped head....) ##### Virginia K. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colin J. 11 Sept 2017 #### comfortable, cosy and convenient This very comfortable cottage proved an excellent base for our holiday in Devon, providing easy access to Dartmoor and to the south Devon coast. There was ample room for the six of us and the cottage was well equipped, especially in the kitchen. With the Rock Inn next door it would have been churlish not to eat there at least once and we were highly delighted with the welcome for us and our dog and for the quality of the food. ##### Colin J.

The weather was unfortunately not too kind so we were unable to make use of the private garden but South Devon and Dartmoor has much to offer and we enjoyed an all too short break. Eating in the restaurant at the Rock kept domestic chores to the minimum. ##### David S.

The cottage was ample big enough for us, very tastefully decorated throughout, a lovely open fire in the lounge and a lovely sunny breakfast room, the master bedroom is huge and had lovely views over the garden ! Location is stunning just inside the national park, the cottage is next door to The Rock Inn which is a wonderful place to dine it just call in for a drink ##### Vanessa G. ---
