Tranquility

We stayed at Dreamcatcher for a week over Christmas. The whole process of booking was very easy. We arrived to find an immaculate warm and welcoming property complete with a few tasteful Christmas decorations. The dining table was laid ready for us complete with a bottle of wine and even a Christmas cake. There was also a basket of logs, kindling and fire lighters ready to light the log burner. Everything had been thought of including a list of local dog walks and local dog friendly establishments. The owner, Nicki, was very friendly and helpful even supplying additional feed for the bird feeder which was a joy to watch, we counted 10 different species oh and 2 squirrels. The arrival and departure procedures were very clear and as Covid secure as possible. We had a wonderfully tranquil break and will most definitely be going back. Thank you Nicki for an amazing break.

A hidden jem of a cottage.

This barn conversion was a wonderful find. Located in a small group of lovingly restored farm buildings on a hilltop. The property is well equipped and comfortable . As our stay was during a very wet week it enabled us to thoroughly relax indoors whilst watching the birds queuing up to use the bird feeder in the garden. 5 stars is not enough for this little jem!

Lovely cottage

Nicky made sure we had every thing we needed for our stay and the cottage was spotlessly clean. Its a lovely quiet spot with plenty of birds to watch at the feeder. We even managed to spot a dragon fly at the pond. Lovely super kingsize bed (why dont more cottages have this ??)

Thank you very much for your review. We are very pleased you found the cottage spotlessly clean, thank you for mentioning that, it is appreciated. There certainly are plenty of (hungry!) birds and the dragonflies are a delight aren't they! Also pleased you liked the superking bed! Take care and hope to see you soon. Best regards, Nicky

Highly recommend

The barn was wonderful and finished to a very high standard. The mezzanine level worked fabulously as a teenage den for my son and the wooden gate at the bottom of the stairs was helpful in keeping the dog to its appointed territories (downstairs). The enclosed front garden was also great giving us and the dog a bit of outside space (it was VERY hot the week we visited) but the sunken garden at the back of the barn was stunning - a thing of beauty to be admired! Nicky was a fabulous host, providing a fan for the upstairs and extra ice-cube trays at a moment's notice (did I mention it was VERY hot?). We loved the location and wished we had longer to explore. In summary, the barn and the location has a lot to offer. Would love to return.

Dog friendly, cosy cottage.

Brilliant place to stay, we loved the fact it was dog friendly, there are not many places you can stay with three dogs let alone be welcomed with open arms. Bed was comfortable, shower was fab, very clean and well equipped with the bonus of Netflix. Lovely location, rural which we love yet very close to shops which was convenient. Overall we had a great time. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you

10/10 would highly recommend!

The cottage was absolutely beautiful, came into the cottage and it was lovely and warm with a cosy atmosphere. Everything was spotless and the decor was lovely. You are provided with towels, tea, coffee, sugar, milk and wood for the fire. We were also treated to some wine and flapjack! The underfloor heating was amazing and there were puzzles and games and dvds to take advantage of during our stay! Also the surrounding area is great for walks and Nikki leaves really helpful instructions on where the best walks are and areas of interest! Highly recommend a stay here as it was a weekend away to remember thanks to this wonderful cottage and it’s beautiful location.

Absolutely fantastic, highly recommended

Dreamcatcher is a beautiful retreat, set in amazing countryside. Nicky made us very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The cottage still retains its charicter and has everything that you could possibly need. We spent hours watching endless species of birds in the garden. We absolutely loved it Tia our Rottie had some lovely walks., and had her own welcome pack whilst we enjoyed Nickys mums Victoria sponge and the bottle of wine! Can't wait to go back.

I have just seen that I haven't written a response to your lovely review - I apologise for that as I do like to acknowledge them, particularly as your review is so lovely! We are hoping the white squirrel may appear at the bird feeder (how weird does that sound!) as there is one in the area, so even more species of bird feeder visitors perhaps!! Hope to welcome you all again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at this cottage, very well equipped and cottage is very clean. lots to do and see in the Dartmoor National Park and plenty of pubs not to far away that do some lovely food. ... Would certainly come back again in the future as Nicky is a great host, made us very welcome on our arrival and was always available if we ever needed her.

Perfect cottage for a relaxing break for two plus dog!

Dreamcatcher Cottage was perfect for a well needed break from the hustle and bustle of work! The location is so peaceful and quiet yet within easy driving access to shops, pubs and fantastic walks. Nicky is a fabulous host - there when needed but otherwise leaves you to enjoy the peace. Nicky also had lots of suggestions of places to visit and where to eat. The cottage was spotless and extremely comfortable in every way. The bed was probably one of the comfiest we have ever slept in - important after a day of walking. The bathroom had a powerful shower and the kitchen had everything you needed. Dreamcatcher has a small enclosed garden - ideal spot for having a cup of tea and a slice of Nicky’s mums homemade cake ( delicious and very welcome) . There are many National Trust properties within easy access with lovely walks and cafes to enjoy but you could easily spend a day at home enjoying the nature and peace and quiet. We hope to visit again!

Wonderful luxury break

We were a little early arriving but Nicky and family made us very welcome. The cottage was absolutely perfect in lovely peaceful surroundings. Inside was welcoming, extremely clean and very comfortable. Superb attention to detail in comfort and decor. Shower was amazing. Huge bed, plenty of storage and everything to hand. Loved the range cooker. Mum's sponge was a delight and the wine went down a treat at dinner. Benson, our labradoodle, was also spoilt with his own mat,water and food bowl with a lovely Bonio. Also a towel for those damp days and a throw in case he felt like clambering on the furniture (not allowed!). We were lucky with the weather but there was a wood burner for the cold days and underfloor heating. Garden at the rear of the cottage with BBQ facilities and table and chairs for outdoor living. This property is a definite home from home with the WOW factor and will be hard to beat. Thanks to Nicky and her family for a lovely stay.

Clean, equipped with everything you could possibly need, deceptively spacious and welcoming

Very peaceful cottage with cake, wine and flowers to welcome us. Pint of milk in the fridge and tea and coffee were really appreciated. Lots of thoughtful touches made us feel at home from the start. We really loved watching the birds and it is a great idea that the owners have of supplying bird food in a tin so we could top up the feeders ourselves. The baa’ing of the lambs and sheep and the birdsong was a real treat!
