“We had a lovely time at Acorn ...”

We had a lovely time at Acorn Cottage. The village of Meavy is picturesque with a great pub on on our doorstep and with so much to do within easy access. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and the owner very friendly to deal with. With only 4 of us staying we had plenty of space and it would have been fine for 6 as well. The cottage was well kitted out and was a home from home. ...

We had a lovely time at Acorn Cottage. The village of Meavy is picturesque with a great pub on on our doorstep and with so much to do within easy access. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and the owner very friendly to deal with. With only 4 of us staying we had plenty of space and it would have been fine for 6 as well. The cottage was well kitted out and was a home from home. There were s few minor things needing attention (shower head, tap) but the cleaners were very helpful on the last day and assured us they would pass the information onto the Handy Man who lives opposite. These problems didn’t effect our holiday.

The cottage was excellent and very clean .There was a homely feeling about the cottage which made it a very relaxing holiday, with plenty of good walking from the cottage. The local pub was excellent to and lots of friendly local people ready to point you in the right direction.

Seriously, this cottage is ultra clean,well furnished and everything is best quality,beds are comfortable,huge conservatory where we ate all meals with a great view over a meadow with sheep,lambs,and cows.We do this sort of holiday three or four times a year and would say this is one of the very best cottages we stay in,the area is fantastic for walking with the moor and tors,many walks do not require using your car at all.One last thing,Thanks to Helpful Holidays who were just that!

“The main problem we had was some of ...”

The main problem we had was some of the people riding their horses past the property stared straight into the house at us, we thought they were very rude and it was off putting especially if we were sat the table eating at the time. Apart from that the property was great, very warm and comfortable with a secure area for the dogs and ideal for getting out on the moor. It would be good if there was a small nest of tables in the lounge as if sat in the smaller of the settee's there was nowhere suitable to place a drink on. We were impressed at the warmth on entering the property on arrival and have already booked a second stay at Acorn Cottage for 2 weeks in October.

The property

300 yards from the pub in the very pretty hamlet of Meavy, is Acorn Cottage.

Four steps up from the quiet lane in which it sits and you're into the porch where you can kick off you walking boots, beyond which is a good-sized living room with a handsome open fire.

The dining room is lovely, a perfect space to get together and recount the day's adventures before retiring to the sunny conservatory to while away the evening.

Upstairs are three gorgeous bedrooms – two doubles and a twin sharing a family bathroom.

At the rear is an enclosed garden with a neat lawn, table and chairs, shrubs and potted plants.

Right on the edge of west Dartmoor, Meavy has a good pub serving delicious meal and around its little green and ancient oak tree, rural scenes from the 'War Horse' movie were filmed.

At nearby Yelverton, there are shops and a good golf course, whilst Burrator Reservoir offers walking and fishing.

The market town of Tavistock which has an indoor pool and cinema and the city of Plymouth with shops, theatres and historic Barbican are both about 8 miles away.
