The location is ideal for visiting Drewsteignton and Dartmoor. The property has all creature comforts for a relaxing stay and Elizabethâs attention to detail and additional treats such as the lemon drizzle cake make it extra special.

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.
