    The accommodation was spacious, comfortable and well appointed. Charlie and Debbie were excellent hosts and the 'goodies' left for us were much appreciated.

  • "We had a lovely stay at this recently renovated cottage."

    It has been finished to a very high standard and was a welcome retreat during the heatwave, staying wonderfully cool throughout our visit. The owners are a lovely family who were friendly, welcoming and always happy to offer help or local recommendations. The cottage is also very dog friendly, which we really appreciated. There were just a couple of small things that could make future stays even better. The cutlery, particularly the knives, could do with being replaced as they weren't very effective. We were also surprised that there wasn't a vacuum cleaner, basic cleaning materials or a shower squeegee available, as these are useful for keeping the cottage tidy during a stay. One thing worth noting for anyone with a reactive dog is that the owners have their own dog(who is lovely!) and cat, and their garden sits directly alongside the cottage's small garden. The outdoor space isn't completely private because of the neighbouring garden, so it's something to bear in mind if your dog is sensitive to nearby people or animals. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay in a beautifully renovated cottage with welcoming hosts, and we'd happily recommend it.

    Hi Sarah, thank you for your feedback & advice to future guests regarding the dog situation. We have noted your observations & will certainly plan to include some extra items you suggested. With having to equip the cottage from scratch we were fortunate to buy some kitchen/dining crockery (cutlery!) etc from someone who was retiring from hosting a holiday let. May be we need to upgrade the cutlery now! Glad you enjoyed your stay overall, it was lovely meeting you both. Property Owner

The property

Aunty June's cottage is a charming converted cottage located within the Dartmoor National Park on a family farm which has been in the family for generations.

This pet-friendly holiday retreat, ideal for a group of friends or a small family, boasts an enclosed garden and far reaching views.

From your allocated parking enter the cottage, passing the handy boot-room, ideal for pet owners, and enjoy the view of the Moors from the kitchen window.

The chefs in your party will enjoy the well-equipped kitchen with its fridge/freezer, double oven, and induction hob.

Gather for a meal in the dining room next to the large ornamental fireplace before relaxing in the living room with its Smart TV and a wood-burner-effect electric fire.

If the skies are clear, head out to the enclosed garden to try and catch a glimpse of the stars over Dartmoor.

Guests are welcome to walk in the wider gardens, but please note there are ponds in the grounds, so those with young children should take care.

At the end of the day, choose from one of the two well-appointed bedrooms, choose from a twin served by a ground-floor bathroom and shower room, or the king-size bedroom complete with its own en-suite shower.

The owner runs Dartmoor Tours from his trusted Landrover.

If you would like to explore the National Park with a local expert, do reach out at the time of booking.

With pubs and dramatic Torrs nearby, you should have a delightful day.

If you wish to head further afield, then the beaches of Dawlish and Teignmouth can provide some traditional seaside fun and are within easy reach due to the well-connected position of the cottage near the A30.

Enjoy a classic Devon break at Aunty Junes Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £175.
