"The cottage was absolutely beautiful in a very scenic location."
The walk from the village to fingle Bridge was easy once we found the path. Would not recommend walking on the road as too narrow. Castle Drogo and the grounds again a walk away, is a must visit. Both theses locations are accessible by car and only 5 mins away from cottage for those not wanting to walk. We would certainly go back to this location and cottage.

"Primrose cottage is an idyllic chocolate box cottage set in a picture perfect village."
The location is ideal for visiting Drewsteignton and Dartmoor. The property has all creature comforts for a relaxing stay and Elizabeth’s attention to detail and additional treats such as the lemon drizzle cake make it extra special.
Hi Colin, thank you so much for your feedback. I’m so pleased you loved the cottage and your comments mean a lot. Holidays are such precious times and I try really hard to ensure that guests really enjoy their time at Primrose. Please come again. We’d love to welcome you. Property Owner

"A very well equipped cottage with all you can possibly want provided."
Very secure for dogs. Lots to see within a 40 mile radius. Head for the coast and use the scenic coastal trains for trips up and down the seaside towns. Just the most ideal cottage to relax and unwind. A credit to the owners and those involved in keeping the cottage spotless.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. We are so glad that you had such a great holiday. Property Owner
