    Mark the host was great, after learning we were delayed due to problems on the route down due to flooding, he had switched on lights and heating and was waiting for us to help us unload and move in. The property is a wonderful place to chill and relax, which we did with everything to hand. The pheasants visited daily, and whilst we had rain every day we left relaxed and recharged.

Recommendations for restaurants and visits were spot with the Cott Inn at Dartington a particular favourite. All the main sightseeing spots are only a short drive away so it’s location is ideal but better not to use sat nav to get to them as it takes you down narrow lanes and main road alternatives are available and are much easier.
