The cottage was beautiful,it was difficult coming back at night because there was no lighting outside,maybe talking with the neighbours about putting some outside lighting up would be the perfect solution as the ground is uneven and slippery also difficult because of having to go through their garden to the front door.

also the other neighbour is doing work in their garden so coming through to get to the cottage’s front door was a bit of an issue because of the debris

We had a lovely stay with our two dogs.

The cottage had everything possibly we needed. It was my error not realising there wasn’t a back door to the garden but we got used to going out every time with the dogs. I’d probably say a gate across stairs would be handy to protect the furniture upstairs , luckily my dogs are crate trained so they didn’t venture up. Everything else was lush. Thankyou

Cottage was slightly tricky to access on arrival but delightful inside, very comfortable, well fitted out and handy for the charming pub opposite.

A recent listing, owners were still preparing the welcome pack but were happy to provide info and answer questions that arose. We missed a microwave as we were not used to an air fryer and would have liked to be able to dry our wet clothes after walking on the moors but our feedback was well received and I'm sure omissions will be rectified. The Walkhampton Inn was welcoming and served delicious pub-type food. Not essential to book but advisable as they normally stop serving food after 8pm and sometimes are extremely busy. Lovely location for a break - highly recommend.
