"I had quite high hopes for this cottage and had seen it a few times before and not booked for one reason or another. I am so pleased I did. It is in a gorgeous position on a quiet lane overlooking fields and completely private and quiet. The stream at the front makes a wonderful sound and always made me happy. The gardens go around the house which is nice for exploring and we didn’t spend any time in the garden really (it was October) but the table and chairs made me think how lovely it would be to sit or eat outside in the after, drier months. The house itself is so warm and cosy and whereas the kitchen is not big and you slightly manoeuvre around the table, it was such.a lovely centre of the house and very warm thanks to the Aga. The dogs loved it. We did use the downstairs snug and sofa bed, our 16 year old son was very happy with the set up, own space and shower room and we had the three upstairs. My mum had the single which suited her well (it is small) and my daughter happy in the double. We had the big room which is a wonderful and has the comfiest (enormous) bed we had ever slept in! I loved sitting up in bed listening to the stream outside in the morning. The bathroom was down for us although the bath is a bit awkward for older, less agile, people. The only downside is the very loud creaky floorboards which we had to learn to navigate / avoid during the night and early morning because they easily make enough noise to disturb.or wake. I suspect they are tricky to fix."

"Our stay was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Before arrival, I requested a bouquet of flowers and some balloons to be arranged in our room, and it was beautifully set up just as we hoped. The room itself was lovely, we stayed in a castle valley view room. Waking up to a breathtaking sunrise made it even more memorable. The Sunday roast was exceptional, honestly, the best we’ve had anywhere, and we’ve tried many places for roasts! Breakfast was also excellent, with plenty of variety. We even requested a few items not on the menu, and it was no trouble at all. A truly unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!"

"Spacious property geared to children and dogs"

"The place looks a bit drab from the outside but inside we had a warm welcome from Mary and Lynn and very much enjoyed the cosy bar and restaurant. The rooms were comfortable and warm, the latter an important consideration given that we were hiking and getting wet! "

"Really cozy and comfy, just what we needed. Hot tub was glorious, kitchen was very well kitted out with everything required. Helen was awesome and really helpful and we plan on returning again. "

"Really enjoyed out time at One Gidleigh Park, the property was immaculate throughout and very well equipped with everything being of high quality and exactly as represented by the photos. The gardens surrounding the cottage are very nice and well maintained and at the rear of the property blend into some dense and very steep woodland facilitating the sighting of various forms Devonian wildlife from time to time including a lost army patrol who had got lost in the woods on night-time manoeuvres and made their way through the garden trying to find their way back to a road 😆 The location is exceptionally quiet and private being at the end of a mile long single track road that terminates at the luxury Gidleigh Park Hotel. Many walks start or emanate close to the cottage and access to Dartmoor and the surrounding countryside is good. The nearby village of Chagford is very quaint with several nice pubs and some interesting shops. Be wary though if you are a nervous driver, many of the roads in the area are single track with some steep gradients! Communication with the host was polite and responsive and the only slight negative for us was that you cannot control the heating yourself. If you want to change the temperature you have to ask the host who will change it remotely - not ideal, but not enough of a niggle that we would not come back. On the whole highly recommended if you want a quiet peaceful break in an outstanding location. "

"The staff were brilliant couldn’t so enforce us and the Breakfast and Dinner were of high standard with great choice."

"Thank you for your hospitality! You were very accommodating and truly the best hosts. In addition, the meals at the Globe Inn were absolutely delicious!"
