  • "Absolutely brilliant stay!"

    The place is absolutely gorgeous and the photos don't even do it justice. We didnt see the owners during our stay but were greeted with a little note with their number, bread, milk, biscuits and dog treats. Such a lovely touch! The views are stunning with a balcony that leads to an enclosed garden that is perfect for the dog. Fire place is stunning and real feature, perfect on those chilly nights. The bed is so comfortable and huge, didn't want to leave! There has been some real thought about how the practical the house is, it's the little things like the dressing table being well lit with plug sockets underneath. Bathroom was my favorite room, even the mirror lights up and has a Bluetooth speaker. it really is a luxury stay and is absolutely spotless. Highly recommend this to anyone. Thank you for having us.

  • "We absolutely loved this cottage."

    It was perfect for what we needed for a few days of walking and relaxing. The owners have really put a lot of thought into the layout and amenities. We were so comfortable here that we definitely would love to come back again. Having the outside space for our dog was a game changer to as it was perfectly fenced for his needs. He could go out and play and we could watch him from the terrace. The owners left us a nice welcome package too which was a super nice touch! We couldn't recommend this place more!

  • "Our second stay at this fantastic cottage."

    Beautiful views, warm and really well kitted out (I was living the dream with a NEFF oven!). Helen is a great host and really welcoming and relaxed. We came both times in November and did some great walks on Dartmoor and back to a woodburner and a film, perfect before a busy Christmas season at work.

  • "The property throughout was extremely clean and both the bathroom and kitchen were excellent."

    The bed was probably the most comfortable we have ever encountered. The owners left a welcome pack (a very thoughtful touch) and they also provided an information pack on the local area which included their own favourite places to visit as well as places to eat. There is a balcony off the upstairs kitchen/lounge area with lovely views over the fields. If the weather had been a little better we would certainly have made more use of it. The owners live in the house next to the cottage and are on hand if needed, which is reassuring. A lovely property in a peaceful spot and we can thoroughly recommend a stay at Langham House Cottage.

    The cottage is exactly as described, spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished with good quality appliances. It was well equipped with everything you would need and a very concise information folder was there for your use. The fully secure garden was perfect for our boxer Billy and he spent many hours out there happily playing with a ball. The huge bed is super comfortable and the rain shower is fabulous. The views are to die for and you are surrounded by sheep, cows and horses. It was perfect for us and we will definitely be back.

The kitchen and living room area has everything you need to have a nice relaxing breakfast or evening meal after you have been out for the day.
