This lovely cottage is located on the edge of the rural village of Buckland Monachorum, 3 miles from Yelverton and 5.7 miles from the World Heritage site of Tavistock.

Hazel and Mark are kind and generous hosts. The narrow, winding lanes are charming, if challenging, and the end result is definitely worth it.
Chris
Lots of lovely walks near by and places to visit. The Plymouth Aquarium is well worth a visit, about 30 minutes drive away. Cottage well laid out with a nice cream tea waiting on arrival.
