“Having stayed at the cottage three times previously, we knew what to expect, and this was met.”

. With a new person responsible for preparing the cottage pre-arrival, it was as immaculate as ever. The welcome cake and milk were very welcome.

“What a wonderful place to stay for a holiday on the moor.”

Clean,cosy, comfortable. A well laid out holiday cottage, good sized bedrooms, great well-equipped kitchen and an airy and well lit sitting room. The owners have taken time and care in making this an ideal place to base a getaway from busyness and stress. Everything worked and was easy to use with good instructions. It was great to leave the car safely parked and just cross over the road and onto the moor for a stroll up to Haytor rocks and beyond. On the Sunday we went up to Widecombe church where we received a warm welcome and then back to the cottage for lunch followed by a walk over to the medieval village at Hound Tor. A good place for an excellent meal after a walk near Widecombe is the Ruddlestone Inn, where the atmosphere and food is excellent. We would have loved to stay for a further week if it had been possible. Long may Ludgate Cottage continue to be a lovely place to come to for future visitors and their families.

“Great holiday, good efficient service from helpful holidays.”

Cottage was clean, well fitted out and in a great location. Definitely worth another visit.

“The description of private garden is misleading!”

! It is a shared drive with a small piece of lawn and a picnic bench.

- Mrs Knowles, September 2019

The website correctly photographs and describes: South-facing grassed area (picnic bench) opposite for your use. Sykes owner relations

“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 Missen 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.

“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.

“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!

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.
