“A gorgeous cosy cottage in a beautiful part of the world.”

From the facilities to the interiors everything was perfect, situated just off the moors and a stones throw from a quiet country pub, it was the ideal staycation full of gorgeous autumnal dog walks followed by snuggling up with the wood burner. Couldn't recommend Sykes and Church Cottage enough!

“Perfect Getaway”

Situated by the Church and 30 yards away from the Tors Inn this is a perfect break. Lots of walks on the moors right on the doorstep. Cottage is very well maintained and very cosy. Equipped with everything you could need, Wifi, washing machine, towels, dishwasher, basket of logs. Even ironing board and iron if you feel the need! Bottle of wine on arrival was a lovely touch. Bathroom is devine, wet room style large shower, heated towel rail and good lighting. Even supplied a magnified pedestal mirror. Bedroom was cosy and very comfortable bed. Little porchway on entering for you to leave boots and wet coats. Would definitely return.

“Super cottage in a lovely location.”

My second visit and it certainly won’t be my last.
Mrs Griffiths June 2019

“Lovely well equipped cottage in a beautiful village.”

So quiet, all the locals really friendly and helpful. Good location for walks and visiting places of interest. Okehampton good for grocery shopping but avoid during school runs. Chagford is a lovely place to stop off for refreshments. We went for a rabbit pie lunch at the Warren, the highest pub on the moors and would highly recommend. To travel a bit further to coast, Beesands and Salcombe are both good for food.

“A beautiful cottage in an incredible position.”

The village is so pretty with a a very friendly community. The village pub is very welcoming and the food is of high quality. Fantastic location for dog walkers, with lots of walks right from your doorstep. The sound of the church bells on a Sunday morning is lovely to hear, chiming out over the Moors. The cottage has everything you need, and the shower is fantastic! Lovely little fire to snuggle up to when the weather gets a bit chilly, and plenty of throws and cushions to snuggle up to. Great location, close to a petrol station and farm shop, and close to Okehampton for all shopping needs.

“Second time staying at this property in the last 5 months, the location in the village of Belstone is fantastic especially with a highly excitable and energetic Sprocker Spaniel.”

Great walks on the doorstep onto Dartmoor and a great place to chill out and relax. This time we travelled to Widecombe on the Moor, Fingle Bridge, Chagford, Boscastle and Bude and with the luck of some excellent weather all week had a fantastic time. Would recommend if you are travelling to Belstone from afar then early start is well worth it and on arrival into the village get into the moors to stretch your legs. Also if you need to stock up on food then Okehampton has a number of supermarkets but would really recommend Farmer Luxtons on the road into Okehampton for excellent local meats, pie and produce and they have a small but very busy cafe, which has opened since our last visit which is dog friendly. Highly recommend the cottage especially the location and just the right size for two people and a dog.
Mr Harris September 2018

“The cottage is very well appointed and is in a delightful village especially waking up to a cow or sheep walking past the end of the road.”

Great for walks straight from the cottage onto the moors in 5 minutes, our Sprocker Spaniel absolutely loved it. Would recommend walks to Sticklepath and Tarka Trail and Belstone Tor. Driving the local area was easy and again recommend Tavistock, Chagworth (Old Forge Caffe do the best Devon Cream Tea), Fingle Bridge, Meldon reservoir and a little further afield Bude taking the dog onto the beach. Okehapton has a Waitrose for food but try Farmer Luxton's on way into town for brilliant butchers and coffee too. The Tourist Information in Okehampton are very helpful but I think the cottage owners and guests have left a number of useful leaflets on the local area. One tip I would recommend is the Hog and Hedge Cafe just of the A30 about 5 miles from the cottage, great food, coffee and dog friendly so worth popping into if you arrive early as we did as travelling from Kent. `The road from the A30 into the village is narrow but no real problem just beware of livestock and dogs walking around when you are going in and out. This is a delightful cottage in a great location for those who want to walk and even better with a dog, ours absolutely loved it!!
Mrs Petts September 2018

“Beautiful cottage, tastefully decorated throughout to a very high standard.”

Everything you could possibly want in the kitchen. In a lovely village surrounded by the moors.
Mr Alleston July 2018

“A beautiful well kept modern cottage in the moors with a pub next door.”

Lots of walks nearby and some nice little events in the village. Be prepared to be disconnected though as phone signal is poor and WiFi at cottage doesn’t work.
Mrs Hawker June 2018

“Superb cottage.”

Lovely village. The walking was perfect and so was the weather. Pub right next door with friendly staff and tasty food. What more do you need?!
Mr Raisbeck June 2018
