Good location and quiet. House really needs updating though as it is in a timewarp but it did suit our needs.

Thanks for the response, David and I'm glad the cottage suited your needs. We are in the process of updating the interior of the cottage and have secured nearly £10,000 this year to complete the internal and external redecoration, to replace all curtains and upgrade some soft furnishings. Structurally the cottage is sound but we would dearly love to reconfigure the inside to suit holiday guests better. In the meantime, the misted windows in the sunroom have been replaced and we have plans to enlarge the kitchen.

Great place to stay!

We enjoyed a wonderful, quiet week in this beautiful cottage. It has a very nice garden full of birds, a spectacular view, and fabulous Dartmoor is all around it. It is close to Exeter. A stack of leaflets helped us to find nice things to see and do.

Comfy cottage with superb views and excellent base for walking

We found the cottage to be cosy and well equipped. It was good to have a secure garden for our dog. It's a perfect place to walk 'from the door', and the view from the lounge was stunning. We had an excellent meal at the Rugglestone Inn and would happily stay in the cottage again.

If you like being on Dartmoor, this property is very well situated. It is surrounded by fields with cattle and sheep. It’s a quiet location with a great view from the back garden.

Beautiful location, clean and well equipped cottage.

Really enjoyed the stay at this lovely cottage. There are walks form the door into the National Park and the views from the sitting room are amazing. The bedrooms all have duvets and are cosy with views over the valley and garden. The cottage has everything you would expect including free wifi and digital TV. The garden is equipped with garden furniture and amazing views. Only downside was we had only one week there.

Great views and lovely location

A cold February half term visit to Widecombe made all the more enjoyable by this comfortable cottage which was warm and welcoming. The view is of the Widecombe valley are amazing and uninterrupted. You can walk from the front door onto the hills of the National Park behind or, if you prefer, down to one of the two pubs in the village both of which serve food. One word of warning; 3rd bedroom is very small and only has a bunk in it.

Peace and tranquility

We have had an excellent time at Windtor cottage; I have never been to a more peaceful place in my life. We watched birds from our garden sundeck - we enjoyed topping up the bird feeders regularly. Since we don't drive, we had Tesco deliver our food and booked some taxi rides with the excellent Station Taxis. We particularly enjoyed the walk up from the cottage to Hameldown and Grimspound. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage, it's spacious and well equipped, sadly without real fire, but with outstanding features like a window- nook and a wonderful garden with fantastic views. Will definitely be back one time!

Perfect as usual

The house is always a charming place to get away from it all. It's just far enough away from anything touristy to give peace and quiet, but not so far away that you have to drive for hours to do anything. There's plenty to do, both in Widecombe and around it, including plenty of walks, and a lovely farm shop about 5-10 minutes drive towards Newton Abbot. I can honestly say each time we go, it's a home away from home. You'd never know it was a holiday home, not too posh, it feels like a family home. Obviously it's very well taken care of, very clean, and there's always some every day essentials in the kitchen cupboards. The only problem we had was needing more time to do everything we wanted. We'll certainly be back again.
