December 2020

“The owners had obviously gone to a lot of trouble.”

Rockmead was spotlessly clean with every home comfort that we could possibly have needed. Despite the cold, damp weather outside, the cottage was extremely warm and cosy. This was our third visit and hopefully we will return.

“Excellent property.”

Really thoughtful touches throughout and the owners clearly had thought about their guests. Warm and toasty all weekend. Cleanliness of the property was outstanding. Directions were great and clear. Might be worth mentioning that the eaves are quite low in the upstairs bedroom but the two very tall members of our group (over 6 foot) managed without banging their heads ! Recycle bins were well explained. Utility room had lots of equipment which we would have used in the summer. LOVE the dog bath in the utility space outside. Garden is huge and secure. Great place !!

“The most dog friendly place we have ever stayed!”

Dog towels,blankets,toys,biscuits,gravy bones and a big dog-proof garden to romp in.A lot of thought and care has also gone on people comfort as well.The owners are very quick to meet any request.For us,Silver Washed Fritillary on the garden Buddleia on arrival was a star turn.

“Thank heaven for the instructions the owners give out on how to find the place.”

Satnav tells you you have reached your destination in the middle of nowhere. Perhaps they could be a bit more accurate as to where the house actually is. It says Chagford. We never even saw Chagford. It is down a single lane track in a place called Lettaford, which is about 6 houses with not a single landline phone, no mobile signal, and where a postbox qualifies as a communal facility. What you forget you will have to do without, short of a long drive. Owners very helpful, and the new kitchen will be a good thing next year. Regards Alan Partington

“The cottage was lovely and very well equipped with plenty of space for the 8 people and 3 dogs in our party, the dogs were very well catered for with blankets and treats etc.”

The garden was beautiful and fully enclosed , once again perfect for our dogs. The cottage is ‘ tucked away’ down some very narrow lanes - reversing necessary when meeting other cars. It was the perfect place for our annual family get together but would not suit someone who likes pubs and restaurants within walking distance as the nearest town is a 3 mile drive away. We had a great holiday at Rockmead.

“Wi-Fi access / a landline would have been an advantage, as there was no mobile signal at the cottage.”

However, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rockmead. Despite the weather being cold and damp, the cottage was warm and cosy. **Owner Response"" We're delighted to let you know that we have just installed WIFI at Rockmead

“We loved this house and holiday and very much appreciated the friendly helpfulness of the owner.”

The only reason I have not given top rating throughout is that the photographs of the main reception room made it appear that there was ample space for both sitting and dining areas to be in use at the same time. In fact, it was necessary to move the large sofa back and forth depending on which part of the room we wanted to use. This was perfectly practicable and did not at all affect our enjoyment of the house - and we certainly wouldn't want any fewer sofa spaces or a smaller table - so I don't think it necessarily needs changing. I am really only raising it because you have specifically asked for feedback. The younger members of the party would like wifi and the older members, while generally enjoying its absence, did occasionally miss it when wishing to access information about walks and local places of interest. Fortunately, the provision of books and leaflets about the area was particularly good, as was the very clear and complete instruction folder for the house. Thank you for a great holiday - I have already started looking at other properties managed by Helpful Holidays.

The property

If you want to get away from it all, and return to nature, then this big detached house in the peaceful, ancient moorland hamlet of Lettaford is ideal.

Set quietly at the end of a hedgerow lane, separate from the few other houses, the Two Moors Way leads past the door to the open expanses of Dartmoor, inviting you to walk and dream.

Natural wood and granite have been carefully preserved to create a characterful and welcoming living space, with a wood burning stove in the living room with its big dining table, and floor to ceiling windows in the kitchen, from where you can wander out to the lovely garden, maybe with a refreshing glass in hand to start the barbecue for an alfresco supper.

With two downstairs bedrooms and two upstairs, you are spoiled for choice of sleeping accommodation, ensuring a good night’s rest after wandering the moors and watching the children play on the swings and slide in the garden.

With amenities of shops, inns and good eating places in the friendly town of Chagford three miles away, this is a magical place for families to relax, play and watch the moon and the barn owls.
