  • "A wonderful home to rest up in whether walking in and around Sticklepath or on Dartmoor; taking some of the nearby bike trails or just sitting by the river at the bottom of the property's lovely garden."

    The family run pub and adjoining store/cafe in the village are a real bonus. The house is very comfortable and well equipped with a well stocked woodburner for cosy nights in. Steve and Pam just next door if needed but are very unobtrusive and friendly - the ideal hosts for a perfect home from home.

  • "This is a great place to stay."

    Steve and Pam are wonderful hosts and the accommodation was ideal for us. Important for me the beds are very comfortable and unlike many properties there was ample storage space for clothes. The local pub just around the corner is friendly and serves good pub grub. We do plan to go back.

  • "Can't say enough good things about the property AND the hosts, Pam & Steve."

    Attentive and helpful without being intrusive. Informative. Lovely place to stay in Devon; wonderfully situated and furnished. Sticklepath offers welcoming places to spend time eating & exploring. Saying we could have happily moved in for a much longer stay should tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at River Taw View. --Deborah & Kate.

  • "Without doubt the nicest most comfortable place we have stayed in."

    Kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything we needed and more. Great location for exploring the area. Friendly, welcoming owners. A perfect place for a few days away.

  • "Our accommodation was very comfortable and well equipped."

    There was a great view of the lovely garden, we stayed in October too late to make use of the outside seating. Our hosts were friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. The village is good for access to Dartmoor and has a handy shop and cafe, and a pub

  • "Pam and Steve were very welcoming and the milk, scones and clotted cream was a nice touch."

    The accommodation was ideal and we did make good use of the seating area and garden, which was very nicely kept. The surrounding village was well appointed with an excellent tea room/village shop and two pubs - the walk up to Belstone along the Traka Trail was beautiful, wooded and opened up nicely onto moorland. We had a week - could have stayed longer!

  • "Lovely accommodation, beautifully presented - a home from home!"

    Great setting with its stunning and spacious garden, with the river running past - so peaceful. Our hosts, Steve and Pam, were very welcoming and helpful, and we especially appreciated the cream tea which awaited us on our arrival. Thank you so much for a brilliant week's stay.

  • "Lovely, clean, well equipped, light and airy property attached to Pam & Steve’s home."

    Beautiful gardens to look at from the decking. I had a dip in the river which was great! Steve was very helpful in giving us advice on local walks and pubs as well as offering us the use of the fire pit. Great food in the Taw River Inn and breakfast in the cafe. Would have loved to stay longer to enjoy all on offer in the area so a revisit may be in order!

  • "Lovely setting by the river."

    Plenty of options for walks from the village or within a short distance. Finch Foundry (National Trust) is also a great visit. Friendly hosts but not intrusive. Very happy. Will be back.

  • "Great, well equipped accommodation and lovely hosts."

    Fantastic garden bordered by the river Taw. Highly recommended, we would liked to have stayed the month rather than the week! In interesting village with shop and 2 pubs; also buses to Exeter and Okehampton. Good walking country on edge of Dartmoor.

  • "The property and garden are amazing."

    Everything looked brand new and freshly decorated. Nothing was too much trouble for the helpful owners, we only had to ask. We had a restful break, and it didn't matter that the weather was very windy and wet on a couple of days, as we had the lovely warm house and log fire to come back to. We hope to return....
