Sehr gemütliches Haus in Dartmoor

Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich, liebevoll und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Sehr schöne Terrasse. Im Ort gibt es einen Laden mit gutem Sortiment. Vom Haus aus kann man wunderbar wandern, es geht immer bergauf und bergab. Tolles Pub nur wenige Meter vom Haus entfernt.

Beautiful cottage in the countryside

wonderful holiday cottage. well equipped, very nice kitchen, nice garden and cozy and comfortable rooms. village shop although very small, remarkably well stocked. if I would have to name one potential improvement: soft cushions in the garden seats would make a stay even nicer (we had nice weather so we spent a lot of time in the garden). thank you for having us!
