  • "The cottage slept 8 but didn't seat 8."

    Table had 8 chair but you couldn't all sit round it as no elbow room at all. One sofa very uncomfortable but again the together would be hard pressed to seat 8. Was fairly clean but kept walking through cobwebs .The welcome book was handy but could have done with some information on walks in the area. Owner was very helpful with arrival information, etc. Evan texted us ro let us know the cottage was ready early. On the plus side the cottage was well equipped and the views were amazing

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. It's a shame you didn't contact me during your stay, as you know your information message states: "If you have any lodge specific issues or questions, please feel free to contact me". I would have been happy to attempt to resolve any issues you may have had. With regard to the sofas, every person has a preference. I have tried to cater for all, as best I can. There are two large sofas, both purchased as four-seaters, one is brand new. One sofa is a softer style, the other is firmer. There are 12 scatter cushions provided in the lounge area for added comfort. Dining: over the years, the current table has proved the best option considering occupancy and space but I could have delivered an extended table top to the lodge had you informed me you were experiencing an issue. Cleaning: my housekeeper is always very thorough. As there were no guests in the lodge the previous week, she completed an extra check when she went in to turn the heating on for you. She advised me that she found and cleared one cobweb. I checked the lodge myself on your arrival day so that I could message you to let you know that it was ready and you were welcome to let yourselves in early. I didn’t find any. As we all know, a spider can weave a web overnight and despite this being a country location, in many years of letting, this is the first cobweb comment. Guest Book: My information book is substantial but I will add local walks as suggested. I did advise you that the Reception on site could provide local information. Reception also have leaflets covering local activities and attractions including local walks. Property Owner

  • "We have just returned from a lovely stay at Dartmoor View!"

    The house is spotless, nicely furnished and has all of the amenities we could ever need!! The location is ideal, we visited the nearby Donkey Park, Looe, Polperro, Plymouth & Crealy! We also dined at the Rifle Volunteer which was a 15 min walk away where the food was AMAZING! Claire, the owner of Dartmoor View could not have been more accommodating! She welcomed us early what with having a baby and assisted with any questions we had before/after our stay. If it wasn’t for the 6 hour drive from home we would already be booking our next trip! Thank you very much!!

    May I suggest having a combi boiler installed.

    The house was clean and child friendly. It was an excellent base to explore the local area including Dartmoor and the Tamar Valley. The onsite facilities were also fantastic and kept the whole family entertained. The children are very keen to go back!

    The holiday lodge was superb in a lovely location with great views on a large site( dont be put off by that as it spreads over a big area). On site facilities were very good with the indoor pool & gym a bonus at Xmas time.Dogs very welcome & there are several superb walks from the park itself.

  • "This is a very well equipped holiday home."

    We were a party of 7 adults and 2 small children and did not feel cramped. The showers were excellent and,having two bathrooms, we weren’t queuing up. The owner also very kindly said we could stay on till the Sunday at no extra cost as she didn’t have a booking for the next week. Unfortunately we had to leave on the Saturday but the offer took the pressure off packing up which was much appreciated. Along with the beautiful view from the rear of the property, and the lack of neighbours out of season, we would highly recommend.

  • "What a lovely place."

    We were 4 generations and having upstairs and downstairs accommodation really made our stay. The house is bright and airy, well decorated and we had everything we needed. We used the indoor pool. Perfect for the whole family. We had a meal at the clubhouse and were well met by friendly staff. We even won the quiz one night! Claire text us in the morning of our arrival to let us know that we could check in early. 5his was a bonus. I would recommend a Tesco food delivery. Saved a lot of hassle and gave us more room in the car. We look forward to another visit. There was so much to do with days out to East Looe beach, Morewellham quay, 2 national trust properties, donkey sanctuary, trago mills in liskard, visit to tavistock , visit to Boscastle, Par sands.......

About the location

GUNNISLAKE

Tavistock 5 miles; Plymouth 18 miles.

The small rural village of Gunnislake lies on the steeply wooded banks of the River Tamar. It has village pubs and a small selection of shops. Notably, the village sits at one end of the scenic Tamar Valley Railway - with regular services along the river bank to Plymouth. The area is perfect for exploring Dartmoor, the south and north coast beaches and the attractions of Cornwall’s far west. Close to hand, the Dartmoor town of Tavistock with its pannier market, pubs and restaurants is a must, as well as the popular fishing village of Calstock, renowned for its crafts and festivals, while the Donkey Sanctuary and Cotehele House and Gardens (NT) are just 10 minutes away. Enjoy a round of golf at St Mellion (8 miles), explore the restored Victorian mining village at Morwellham Quay (4 miles), search for otters and deer along the Tamar Valley footpath, visit the National Trust owned Lydford Gorge, or take a trip to the beach and picturesque harbour at Looe (25 miles) - there’s something for everyone. For something really different, why not ride the scenic Tamar Valley Railway into Plymouth and spend the day in the fabulous Marine Aquarium or strolling the historic Plymouth Hoe?
