Georgina and David are excellent hosts. Property is spotless, well equipped and very comfortable. There is a small enclosed and safe paddock/orchard which was excellent for letting our dog run and have fun. Lovely location and the stars were amazing

Cottage gem

The cottage is outstanding, the photos really do not do the property or location justice, sat in a small hamlet surrounded by fields and wonderfully peaceful. We had a lovely relaxing stay and would highly recommend staying. Georgina and David were excellent hosts.

Fantastic Breakaway

The Cottage was beautiful. Gerogina & David were extremely welcoming & accommodating & definately went the extra mile by providing my partner a birthday card. They provided such great recommendations including Strawberry Fields & Alder Vineyard. I would definately recommend to anyone who is after a nice and peaceful escape away.

Dartmoor holiday

We really enjoyed our weeklong stay with Georgina and David . It’s a beautifully furnished cottage in a country setting with a field for a dog to play in. The host were welcoming and companionable but not intrusive. They told us about nice places to visit for wild swimming and the honey and food they sell is excellent. We had a great time exploring Dartmoor and we would love to come back there

Home away from home

We thoroughly enjoyed our 12 night stay at Upper Kelkacott. Georgina and David are talented hosts who make their own honey, smoke their own bacon, make sausages, raise eggs and prepare ready to heat up meals. Everything was delicious. Such splendid hospitality. We appreciated the suggestions for things to do and see. We loved the cottage, the grounds and it’s proximity to the spectacular walks in Dartmoor. The little lambs had grown so much during our stay. The animals were a delight to watch.

wonderful stay at Higher Kellacott

We thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay at the cottage at Higher Kellacott. Our time there was a highlight of our trip to England. The location was gorgeous. Georgina and David were warm and friendly - the perfect hosts. We were lucky to arrive during lambing season and had the opportunity to hold one of the lambs and meet her family! The cottage was sparkling clean with every convenience. Georgina offers, for a fee, her homemade food and we happily partook of her croissants and vegetarian cottage pie. Georgina and David gave us wonderful advice about Dartmoor and we explored the moor and the Cornwall coast. We would love to go back to Higher Kellacott.

Birthday break

What a beautiful place. Absolutely loved the cottage and surroundings it was all a person could need and more. Personal parking space a few metres from the building was an enormous bonus. The weather was fabulous and enjoyed an afternoon or few in the garden. Easy access to all around the local area and seaside. Georgina and David have thought of every possible gadget, appliance, home comfort and any required item when away from home. Everywhere was spotlessly clean, inviting, everything worked as it should and nothing was missed out .Even got to play table tennis. The honey was fabulous and bought some to bring home to family.Thank you both for your expert knowledge, friendliness, welcoming kindness and thoughtfulness to detail.Can't wait to return soon.

Das Cottage ist ein Traum und auch die Lage

Das Cottage liegt in einer wunderschönen Landschaft. Es ist liebevoll eingerichtet und die Vermieter, Georgina und David sind bezaubernd und sehr hilfsbereit.Sehr lecker ist der hausgemachte Honig und die Orangenmarmelade.Durch die Lage an der Grenze von den Grafschaften Devon und Cornwall ist alles in einer Stunde mit dem Auto erreichbar. Für uns war es ein traumhafter Urlaub.

Geweldige cottage en super fijne eigenaren.

We hebben een geweldig verblijf gehad in deze zeer complete cottage op de grens van Devon en Cornwall. Midden op het platteland en toch de snelweg dichtbij. De eigenaren hebben aan alles gedacht in en om de cottage en je bent echt helemaal op vakantie. Ook is er een heerlijke tuin met zit- en ligplekken op verschillende plekken, heerlijk tussen de schaapjes. Een echte aanrader! het

A lovely holiday

Georgina and David are very friendly and welcoming hosts. We had a wonderful week staying in Kellacott. We enjoyed chatting to Georgina and David about their home produce, bee keeping and honey. The home produce is very tasty. Particularly the bacon, smoked salmon and honey. We enjoyed a circular walk around Kellacott, heading towards Broadwood. Strawberry fields farm shop is a great place to stop for everything you could possibly need. They also have a rapid charging point for electric vehicles. We did various walks and sightseeing. A great place to stay as a base for Cornwall, Devon and Dartmoor.

The destination justifies the journey!

Very well presented accommodation with beautiful furnishings and a massive bed! Equipped with all amenities required (and more!) for a short stay. The location, whilst challenging on the narrow access road, is fully worth it once you are there. David and Georgina were the most accommodating hosts, nothing being too much trouble at all, throughout our stay. Highly recommended and we plan to make a return visit.

Wonerful!

Without a doubt, the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in. Georgina and David have thought of everything you might need on your holiday and provided it! This is a first class cottage that we would recommend to everyone wishing to stay in this beautiful part of Devon. We enjoyed using all of the outside space surrounding the cottage, the stunning countryside and the sheer tranquillity of the setting. We will definitely stay here again.

Cosy farm cottage with lovely gardens

Higher Kellacott is a perfect hideaway if you want to get away from it all, very cosy with every comfort you could wish for. The gardens are a lovely place to relax and watch the sunset over the beautiful views of Dartmoor. Perfect location for exploring the moors as well as both north/south Devon and Cornwall.

Luxury Accommodation

All the things you would require for 5 star self catering B&B are here. Quiet location with views of Dartmoor. Superb king size bed, quality bathroom with great hot shower and bath. The kitchen is of a high standard with many basic ingredients already there. Proper coffee maker etc. Everything is geared for you to have a warm, comfortable, relaxing stay. Georgina is so welcoming and helpful and the food she supplied is top notch. Bread, croissants sausages etc. Worth every penny. You do need a car to enjoy you stay as walking from the cottage and the immediate vicinity is limited. Top marks though.

Fantastic space. Beautiful location, everything you could possibly need!

Great communication with the host. Good directions and so easy to find. The cottage is very well appointed, plenty of space with a luxurious feel. It was very comfortable. We enjoyed the outdoor space, loungers, garden, patio and bbq. The views of Dartmoor were lovely and we had clear nights and an almost full moon and with the stars out, it was amazing. We particularly enjoyed the home made produce of bread, bacon & sausages which were all very tasty. The location is stunning and it is extremely peaceful. I would highly recommend and definitely will be back!
