Beckaford View

Mooie fijne plek, van alle gemakken voorzien.

Prachtig uitzicht. Goede plek om heen te gaan als je de rust zoekt.

The cottage was lovely, it has a very equipped kitchen with a freezer.

Comfortable bed and large walk in shower. Views are beautiful. It’s very peaceful at the end of the tight lanes without many passing points. We had to depend on the car more than expected as we were in the moors. Parking was tight and the corner to the property was full of rocks. Dogs need to be on lead at all times due to the farm. Couple of suggestions. Have a dedicated dog poop bin as the “bin guidelines” on the bin are confusing and update in the documentation in the house to reflect the bins. Adding a picture of the lane and parking to listing would have helped. I would have appreciated to know that building work was going on down the track as we had lots of trade traffic speeding down the track. We wanted a peaceful break and this did ruin that especially as they were looking into the property as they passed.

The four weeks I had on my 'retreat ' met all my expectations .

I needed time alone for a number of reasons and being in such beautiful countryside and nature fulfilled this. I am more prepared for the next chapter of my life,feeling stronger for decision making . Thank you

Our fourth year spending a week at Beckaford View.

It is perfect for us. We have two dogs one of whom, Bella, is very reactive to other dogs. The peace and tranquillity of Beckaford View is very good for Bella. There are many walks straight from the property and we meet very few dogs so we can all relax. It is like a luxurious hide - the huge window means you look out over the garden and more distant forest areas and you never know what you will see even while sitting in bed. Foxes, deer, swallows, woodpeckers, mistle thrush, rabbits, hobby. It is beautiful. Thank you.

Hallo, ich gehe davon, aus das sie ein Übersetzungsprogramm haben.

Beckaford View ist eins sehr schönes kleines Haus in einer traumhaften Lage. Allerdings gibt es auch Schwächen, dass große Fenster lässt sich nicht abdunkeln dadurch ist es so hell, dass man nicht schlafen kann, da helfen auch die bereitgelegten Masken nicht, dass müssen aus unserer Sicht die Besitzer ändern.Wir haben keine neue Bettwäsche bekommen und auch keine frischen Handtücher, obwohl wir für 2 Wochen gemietet haben.Die Information, dass wir 4 Tage früher abreisen mußten ist auch nicht angekommen. Meine Frau hat bei einem Gartenbesuch einen schweren Fußgelenkbruch erlitten.Dadurch mussten wir unseren Urlaub sofort abrechen, außerdem haben wir unseren geplanten Aufenthalt in Irland ( Sykes Cottage Dromstabla) stornieren müssen, auch darüber haben wir bisher keine Information erhalten Wir werden aufgrund dieser schlechten Kommunikation keine weiteren Buchungen bei Sykes vornehmen.

Location was spectacular, the cottage was clean, well maintained, very comfortable, peaceful and quiet.

Beautiful views and wildlife close by. All you needed to cook a meal was available, great fridge and freezer space. Lovely shower in bathroom. TV was only downside by being small (very small) and sofa was so heavy it could not be brought closer. Otherwise It was a great base for exploring the moors with Becky falls, Haytor Tor close by. Local pub the Kestor Inn was great for food, welcoming and walkable in 20 mins ( albeit down a country lane ).

A lovely property in beautiful surroundings.

Lovely clean cottage in a great location to explore the Moors.

Fantastic cottage with stunning views.

Very peaceful and perfect location for walking and visiting Dartmoor.

Very nice property - well kitted out with amenities and fantastic view of Dartmoor from large window (and also stars at night).

Easy to find. Responsive and helpful host. Very effective underfloor heating which kept the property at a good temperature. Highly enjoyed the stay and would definitely come back.

Lovely cottage in a perfect location to explore Dartmoor, cottage is spotless, has everything you’ll ever need, perfect base for exploring local towns and villages aswell.

Hosts are lovely and very welcoming, highly recommend to anyone

Just a wonderful retreat.

Stunning reviews and very comfortable. Perfect for us and our dog. Quiet and peaceful. Just lovely.

A superb retreat.

Well appointed with everything you need. A fabulous location, quiet and picturesque. The perfect spot with amazing views. Thank you.

A lovely clean property in a tranquil location.

Ideal for access to Dartmoor and the surrounding area. Although a small torch is available, I would advise bringing a powerful head-torch for those late dog walks. A slotted turner for use with the flying pan would be a welcome addition by the owners. We and the dogs really enjoyed our week there and can happily highly recommend Beckaford View to others. Thank you.

Delightful cottage and perfect for a couple and two dogs.

It has everything you would need for a week exploring Dartmoor and further afield. The windows looking out over the landscape is stunning and we were so lucky with the weather after Storm Amy. The moors are a short walk away and good walk to Haytor rather than having to drive. We also visited Dartmouth, Teignmouth and Brixham all within an hour of the cottage so enjoyed both moors and beaches during our stay. Bovey Tracy is perfect to pick up provisions and Ullacombe Farm Shop has a great menu and butchers. Will definitely look at coming back next year.

We loved staying at Beckaford.

For the visitor, all the facilities are beautifully thought through. Lovely building. Beautiful sunrises .....not too early because of the time of year ..... perfect view from bed! We love the moorland and enjoyed Chagford very much ... they have the best hardware store in the world! If you like organic foods there is also a very good farm shop cafe in Chagford too. All in all, a lovely stay. Sue

It is a very lovely cottage in the middle of nature.

The roads are very narrow, but after a few days it feels like home. It´s the perfect place to disconnect from the stressful daily life. Very good for dogs. There is no fast internet, but the mobile reception is good. We loved the little welcome gifts. We´d love to visit again.

The property was beautifully located well presented and just what my wife and I needed

Wow, what a fantastic property in an amazing setting.

This break was everything we hoped for and more, have to commend the owners on the little touches such as milk and goodies on arrival down to other things such as soap, shampoo and shower gel etc. provided. Shame that the owners didn't make themselves known as it would have been nice to have met them but understand that they don't want to impose on your break away. Would definitely recommend and would also consider returning. Approach roads a little scary but understand that there is nothing that can be done with regard to this as that is the nature of the area.

Beautiful equipped cottage , loved the views , so peaceful a welcomed rest for us both.

Ideal spot for walking, so lovely to have walks from the door. Hope to visit again. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

Just wow, what an amazing place !

The house was spotless & just so pretty. We walked for miles on the moors, that are just a stones throw from the house. A stunning & relaxing holiday. Thank you so much for a perfect stay !

Our third time at Beckaford View.

Lovely clean, tidy, comfortable, very well equipped accommodation. Beautiful location for walking and birdwatching and miles of quiet lanes for walking our dog-reactive dog.

We found Beckaford View to be absolutely fantastic, clean and comfortable.

It was really well equipped and had everything we needed for the week. The outside seating was ideal and very comfortable, we had lovely weather and made use of the umbrella. It's situated close to Bovey Tracey for local shops and we visited several of the local pubs and farm shop for meals and tea rooms. We would love to return one day as it has all that we'd need for a holiday.

We had a wonderful, comfortable, stay.

A perfect getaway for couples with dogs or single people. Walks from the door both up the hill straight on to the moor, amazing views and down the hill towards Becky Fall has a public footpath. The cottage itself, had everything you could need, so well thought out, easy, relaxing, well equipped, 10 / 10. Dog owners must and should Keep dogs on a lead at all times due to farm animals and animals and wildlife on moorland.

Great cottage one of the nicest we have stayed in.

Perfect holiday, many thanks

Perfect bolt hole for me.

Loved waking up with the sunrise and birdsong. So quiet and peaceful but near enough to local pubs, towns and the moor. Beautifully and imaginatively renovated property. Hopefully, I'll have a greyhound to enjoy that dog bed and walks from the door next time.

Lovely location and the cottage was spotless.

Th cottagebhas everything you need and lots of attention to detail with nice touches including a lovely local cake on the side in the kitchen on arrival and a pint of milk. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to visit Dartmoor. Perfectly located where you’re within walking distance of the moors and also not far from the local town.

Third time we’ve stayed in this lovely cottage.

It’s very well fitted out and very cosy even on chilly December days, we didn’t need the fire although it was nice to have it all set up for us. The walks from the cottage up across the moors and down into the valley (to the pub) are brilliant and the sunrises were stunning.

Second time i have stayed at Beckaford View this year and fortunate with the weather.

The location is perfect for walking directly from the house onto the moor or through the valleys without having to tackle the narrow lanes by car and the views are stunning. The house was warm without having to light the woodburner. As a previous guest i was disappointed that there were no pods for the excellent coffee machine and though i had brought ground coffe there wasn't a cafetiere to be found and could de with better kitchen tools - minor grumbles - will be back

This is a perfect holiday accommodation The hosts were brilliant The location fantastic such beautiful views The cottage was superb everything you would want for a home away from home We will definitely return again Thank you

The property was fairly new but very well presented in perfect condition.

We loved the layout and finish to the property and they had thought of all the little touches you need for a great stay. We would thoroughly recommend this property to family and friends and all users of Sykes Cottages. Many thanks.

Slice of heaven in a beautiful setting and our stay was just what we needed.

We loved exploring the moor and Devon and coming back at night, putting the log burner on and relaxing watching the wildlife…we saw deers, bats, and an owl!

Beautiful place to stay.

Very clean and well situated. If you want peace this is the place to go too. Thank you

We absolutely loved our little break here.

The accommodation was faultless & the location is idyllic & so peaceful. We were incredibly lucky with the weather and was treated to the most amazing sunrises from the bedroom window each morning. We will most definitely be returning one day. Thank you!

Perfect in every respect

Absolutely incredible.

Beautiful location. Perfect cottage. Very comfortable. Would have swapped the washing machine for a dishwasher based on the demographic of people staying. Couldn’t have been lovelier. Will be back.

A beautifully tranquil location ideal for a couple seeking peace and quiet.

Views across Lustleigh Cleave from the bedroom are fantastic. Lovely kitchen diner, perhaps a slimline dishwasher would be more useful than such a large freezer which on a week long holiday is used very little.

We had an amazing week, property and location stunning Attention to detail was amazing and a welcome cake, biscuits and milk just added to the experience.

Brilliant night sleep bed was so comfortable.

What an amazing cottage!

Gorgeous setting. This is a definite must stay. Fabulous walks with the dogs and plenty of great pubs to visit.

Beckaford view - is a treasure - well equipped with a fabulous outlook - on the negative due to the cold weather the underfloor heating never got warm enough and though there was a small wood burner the wood supplied would have only lasted a night - that said i would definately look to return in the future

This is a lovely cottage in a quiet location with great views and easy access to moorland and coastal areas.

Would definitely book this one again.

A old barn modised to a new barn a very nice set up and a lovely view from a large window while still in bed or walking on the mezzanine floor.

Wildlife abundant birds 'squirrels rabbits deers and many more !. I would like to go back it's out standing.

An exquisitely appointed cottage with panoramic views in delightfully tranquil surroundings.

An oasis of peace. Our hosts were thoughtfully helpful and not intrusive. Thank you for allowing us to share your property. Christopher, Joanna and Bumble

The cottage was excellent in all respects.

Clean, well thought out & very good considerations given to the little things!. In all a wonderful Christmas holiday.

A beautifully restored barn with fantastic views over Dartmoor National Park.

Very high quality and comfortably fitted out, making it a perfect retreat for a couple and dog. Situated up on the moor, makes it a perfect location to visit the National park and very close to Haytor rocks and many other Tors. Highly recommend.

We stayed beginning of Oct 2023.

Incredibly lucky with the weather we had three beautiful days and the remainder of the week was largely dry. Beckaford View was absolutely beautiful, the owners have done a wonderful job in restoring the place and it was lovely to read it's history. The large picture window frames a simply stunning view across the valley. The directions were spot on and easy to follow (we simply used the postcode which brings you out at the top of the drive) The property was spotless & very comfortable.. A lovely shower room, open plan lower floor & nice mezzanine bedroom that takes in the view when you wake up.. The bed was very comfortable and it was a nice/welcome touch to have some milk & drinks packets ready for arrival.. We travelled from Essex so in our case very welcome... The property is at the entrance to Dartmoor we enjoyed spending time with our dog on the moor. Haytor Rocks well worth a visit as was Hound Tor, said to be the inspiration for Hound Of The Baskervilles. Loads of places to explore in and around South Devon which is itself stunning.. The owners provide a really handy visitors book and it was so useful to see where others had ventured out to & then recommended.. I would suggest it should be one of the first things to do as you settle in. A practical thing for the owners to consider.. 1. A mirror for the bedroom, my wife had to stand & plug her hair dryer in the kitchen whilst using the bathroom mirror, so 1 upstairs would have been perfect.. That 1 practical thing aside we loved our stay and had a wonderful week.. We would definitely stay again & we don't say that often.. Highly recommended..

Really nice property - great views and facilities

The cottage was fabulous in every way: fresh, clean and newly constructed, beautifully designed and conceived, very tastefully decorated, brilliantly thought out functionally, spectacular enormous viewing window to make the very most of the breathtaking countryside view, truly unique and fabulous bedroom mezzanine floor with same spectacular view from nice comfy bed through very clever and innovative luxury glass safety partition with lovely tactile stainless steel hand rail along the top of it, very comfortable, functional open plan downstairs living room/kitchen with beautifully designed and artistically constructed, roof-high, feature stonework chimney, fireplace, corner feature with very functional and neat log burner.

This terrific cottage was the perfect base for exploring Devon and Dartmoor and it's pretty villages and towns. Each morning we ran 5k up the road and across Dartmoor and we also walked to and climbed several of these distinctive Dartmoor , igneous rock Tors which are encrusted all through with their very distinctive scattering of little bars of felspar mineral. We also loved spotting the local wildlife and birds especially including buzzards, sparrow hawk, tawny owls jays and ravens which flew casually by the amazing viewing window making the cottage seem like an ingenious bird hide at times! We also enjoyed some fantastic and very good value meals in several nearby village pubs. Also the Bovey Tracey 'Parke' park provided lovely rambling riverside walks and challenging trout dry fly fishing on the River Bovey for beautiful Devon brown trout. Finally, the Bovey Tracey fish and chip shop offered really excellent cod or haddock fish suppers at the end of a day or two!

First class property in a wonderfully peaceful location.

A beautiful cottage in a stunning location

We loved our stay at Beckaford View.

.a beautiful cottage with a view to die for! A wonderful setting and so peaceful. We will definitely be coming back!

The most perfect perfect stay!

I booked this as my first little solo trip away with my dog and it was just perfect. The cottage itself was stunning! I was so so sad leaving this little retreat behind! The scenic window was the making of this property, and any future bookers should note that the sunrise will wake you- and that’s a waking you will want to view! The sunrise rolling up over the moors actually is breath taking, I have a phone full of pictures of it! Lying in bed watching the animals run around the garden was dreamy. I’m a big walker so location for AllTrails was perfect with Haytor and Becky Falls very close. The bed was super comfortable, and the kitchen had everything I needed. Only minor downside was the fact there wasn’t a full length mirror, only the over basin one tucked into the bathroom, and maybe there could be a little bench added for extra seating area in the top part of the garden as the sun lingers there alot longer ☺️ I’ve already looked to re book another time to see the changes of weather and wanting to make use of the fire, Beckaford has probably got to be the most perfect cottage I’ve booked over my years. Thank you ☺️

Wonderful relaxing week spent at Beckaford View a definite WOW factor The perfect accommodation, so clean and kitchen well equipped Perfect location, so close to nature on the doorstep So many different types of birds and wildlife to be seen right outside the window The views were outstanding Highly recommended!

A beautiful place and setting, well worth recommending to others.

Everything available for the perfect holiday. However, a pole to open the skylights would have been useful.

A very well converted building with a fantastic view across the valley.

The owner was very welcoming and the parking is right outside the side door. I would have liked to stay longer but the place is fully booked. Would definitely use again.

Absolutely beautiful accommodation 5 Star in every respect

Absolutely wonderful place.

So cosy and that window view every single day was incredible. We did not use the eye masks provided as we were happy to be awoken by that glorious sunrise each morning. Bobby the cat was a bonus, his cheeky little visits for cuddles by the fireplace made the stay even better. We could not fault Beckaford View one bit.

I had a wonderful 3 day break in Beckaford View.

It is probably the nicest holiday home I’ve had the pleasure of staying in. The barn is sympathetically converted and kept lots of the original features. The kitchen is amazing with a great provision / range of equipment- they even have weighing scales (I take my own for dog food and this is the first place to ever provide them). The barn feels really spacious. The bedroom has a gorgeous outlook. It faces east so you have the full sunrise in the morning - I could sleep through but the dogs couldn’t! The only downside was that there wasn’t a secure area I could allow my dogs off lead as it’s situated next to a working farm (lots of signage to request dogs are on lead). Because of this I didn’t feel like I could enjoy the garden area which was a shame.

Lovely renovated property in a perfect location to explore Dartmoor.

We had an enjoyable and peaceful time on our holiday.

Whilst the blinds are only half way, this actually help made the stay as we woke up seeing the sky (I didn't wear a mask as didn't need to, although they were supplied) and the property is not overlooked. The shower was fantastic and the bed was comfortable. The information supplied by the property owner was really useful.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay at Beckaford View.

The property and location was fantastic, lots of walking from the doorstep and plenty of pubs in the area. Our two cocker spaniels had a great time too.
