“The customer service from Sykes was outstanding and Ludgate Cottage was very special to us due to the perfect location.”

Thank you so much. Linda and Drew

- Mr Mcmillan, June 2019
“Really nice cottage.”

Disappointed to find we were holidaying next to two building sites, subsequent noise and workers vans and other vehicles parking in our 'private' garden. We should have been made aware of this. Apart from this we enjoyed this area of the moors. If and when we return will probably find another cottage.

- Mr Missen, June 2019
“Ludgate Cottage was very clean and comfortable.”

The bed and the linen was a high standard. Extremely well equipped kitchen with modern appliances. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday despite the weather. Lovely walks from the cottage so no need to use the car too much. We were so glad we were able to use the heating as it was very cold for June. The only constructive comment would be that it would be helpful to have a grab handle to assist getting in and out of the shower.

- Mrs Reynolds, June 2019
“Walks across the Moors are great, saw the cuckoo and lots of other birds, butterflies and moths.”

All across the road from the cottage. Many other attractions within driving distance. I wouldn't say the house was suitable for very young children or older unfit people, because of the stairs leading to the living quarters (it's upside down). But it did have the most comfy bed, I have ever slept in!

- Mrs Swain, May 2019
“We had a very enjoyable stay at Ludgate Cottage.”

The cottage is well appointed and is clean and comfortable.

- Mr Pritchard, May 2019
“We've been staying here for 10 years.”

Disappointed there wasn't even a pint of milk this year. Name of caretaker and contact number was incorrect. Dishwasher covered the crockery in a film we couldn't remove so couldn't use it. New settees are even worse than the old ones. You are nearly on the floor. I finally found the details for the property manager but she couldn't get the dw repaired in time. Also there are no details as to the recycling arrangements. The cottage is very clean and well equipped but things need checking up on.

- Mrs Klinkenberg, May 2019
“Cottage was perfect for the two of us.”

Very well equipped kitchen with a lovely range cooker. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the beds were comfy with lovely crisp white bedding. After a very stressful few months we needed a relaxing quiet break and that's exactly what we got at Ludgate Cottage. Thankyou

- Mrs Downer, September 2018
“This was our second visit to this cottage and it felt like home from home.”

A well fitted out cottage in a beautiful location. The moor is literally on your doorstep so walks, wildlife and wonderful scenery are all around you. It's location provides easy access to the all the local Devon tourist attractions as well as a fine place to just relax and chill out.

- Mr Jackson, September 2018
“We loved this cottage.”

The beds were extremely comfortable, and there was a good-sized, well-equipped kitchen and dining area, which included everything we needed. But the star of the show was the location. It's directly across the road from Dartmoor, particularly beautiful in August as it's covered in heather and gorse, and very close to Hay Tor. Friendly Dartmoor ponies even come to the cottage gate!

- Ms Nicholls, August 2018
“Fantastic cottage, perfect for our family, great location, close to moors and coast.”

Would recommend and hope to return.

- Mrs Bennett, July 2018

The property

Below the striking Dartmoor landmark of Haytor is this semi-detached cottage, close to the small village of Haytor Vale.

With amazing views as far as the sea, this is a wonderful place for walking, cycling and touring the magnificent scenery.

Head up the steps to the front door and through the hall you will find two downstairs oak-floored bedrooms with a bathroom.

The big airy sitting room with characterful beams is upstairs for those absorbing views, together with a kitchen fitted in oak and black granite with a dining area.

The grassy garden opposite the cottage faces south and has a picnic table for alfresco meals, and you can store bikes in a garage.

The focal point of this friendly cottage is clearly the surrounding moorland which is perfect for enjoying the great outdoors and gazing at the panoramic views.

Welcoming little towns and villages like Bovey Tracey and Widecombe-in-the-Moor have plenty of eateries and places of interest to explore.

Ludgate Cottage is a fine place for discovering Dartmoor and Devon’s countryside.
