"Lovely cottage in great location: very peaceful and well placed for walks and touring Dartmoor."
Lots of places to eat nearby. Nicky and Simon are a friendly, helpful couple. If I was in this area again I would definitely book Monks Cottage. We had a wonderful week.

"We were amazed and delighted with the standard of this property."
The level of accommodation is really that of a spacious, well-appointed modern home set in an ancient rural landscape. We particularly loved the open plan ground floor, Aga (such a blessing in a Devon winter!) and the triple aspect bedroom and sitting room, with stunning views over the moor. Owners charming, hospitable and unobtrusive - just as you would wish!
We are just delighted to know that Jane and Michael really enjoyed their week at Monks Cottage. Absolutely made our day to read their generous comments.

"Monks cottage is truly delightful in a superb location with spectacular views."
Ideal proximity to the local Stannary town of Chagford, West Devon and Dartmoor National Park.
The cottage provides the perfect stay for couples looking to explore the region. The accommodation is extremely spacious and beautifully decorated and extremely well equipped. The surrounding hedged gardens are so lovely with ponds, an orchard, abundance of wonderful plants and flowers and so well maintained. The land around the cottage provides the opportunity to walk and explore or sit and enjoy this lovely environment. There is also a garden and seating to enjoy directly outside the cottage.
The owners property sits next to Monks cottage and Nicky and Si are the most delightful, hospitable hosts you could imagine. They are interesting, friendly and extremely helpful. Their enthusiasm and energy for the property and their beautiful surroundings is infectious!!! You cannot help feeling the warmth and passion these lovely hosts have given to their much loved lifestyle and the effort and work that has been put in to achieve what they have and now share with others.
This was the most enjoyable four days away we could have spent and we would highly recommend.
Thank you so much Nicky and Si
It is a real pleasure to read this very kind review and to hear how much Victoria and Lesley enjoyed their time in Monks Cottage. Victoria and Lesley explored some of the Dartmoor National Park's many beautiful walking routes during their short visit to Monks and we very much hope they'll be able to come back to continue exploring this wonderful part of Devon.

"The property and grounds were amazing."
We loved the cottage, had everything we could ever want. So relaxing we didn't want to leave. The surrounding gardens are beautifully kept by owners and having access to fields and walks was fantastic for our dog.
Hosts Nicky and Simon are a lovely couple, so helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable on the area.
Its so lovely there we have already booked our return visit and can't wait.
How nice to know that Lorraine and Clive will be coming back to Monks Cottage in May. Dartmoor is so beautiful in the Spring - perfect for long walks with gentle Brylie. Thank you for being perfect guests and leaving Monks Cottage immaculate.

"A truly great find for this part of Devon with very easy access to the A30."
Monks cottage is attached to the property owners own house and you have access to a wonderful field for walking a canine friend. The accommodation is faultless and has a very homely feel , for those that have been you will no what i mean . Your hosts Nicky and Simon have 25 years of local knowledge and go above and beyond making you feel very welcome into the home. Will definitely come back as Simon has more stories to tell me !
We both look forward very much to welcoming Nikki and Kevin (and lovely Cooper!) back to Monks Cottage Thank you for this very kind and generous review, and for looking after Monks Cottage so well.

"Monk's Cottage is a special place!"
The area is beautiful, the cottage is lovely and spacious (with great lighting and plenty of electrical outlets), and the hosts are fabulous! Like many other reviewers, I felt that Monk's was more of a home away from home than a rental. I had some car problems and Nicky and Simon went out of their way to help me. Looking forward to a return visit. Thank you!
Thank you for finding Monks Cottage and for being an absolutely delightful guest. We are so sorry you had car problems and hope you've made it safely home to Utah. Come back soon please dear Laurie!

"We have stayed at many holiday cottages over the years and this was, without a doubt, the best of the best of the best."
The property itself was of an extremely high standard; it felt more like a home than somewhere you just rent for a week. The locality is wonderful. The views of the fields - all of which are completely accessible - are a lovely thing to wake up to first thing in the morning.
As for our hosts, we feel that we have been staying with some new friends. They couldn't do enough for us and we felt so welcome. We will be back VERY soon.
What lovely, life enhancing and appreciative people you two are! We are so pleased to know you both had a really peaceful, really happy holiday and felt so much at home in Monks Cottage. Wishing you great creative success with your projects - to be followed by a nice restorative break back here at Monks.

"Having just returned from a magical week at Monks we can't wait to return!"
Waking to the sound of buzzards every morning in the enormous bed with beautiful views was a real highlight. Nicky and Si couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful, doing everything they could to ensure it felt like a real home from home. The house and grounds are simply stunning - we love Dartmoor and visit often, but this was our most relaxing stay so far. Thank you for taking such good care of us, we had a wonderful country escape!
Please come back to Monks Cottage as soon as you can Polly and Leigh (with your beautiful lady lurcher!). It was lovely to see how much you enjoyed your time on Dartmoor. Thank you for finding us
