• "Lovely spacious cottage in a quiet location, but not too far from town (by car!"

  ) Very comfortable for our family group of 8 with plenty of space for us all. Four good sized bedrooms and each with their own en-suite bathroom. Super clean and light and airy upstairs living accommodation. Tennis courts and hot tub an added bonus.

• "Amazing place."

  Facilities were ideal for the three couples that made up our party, with 3 double bedrooms similarly equipped, each with generously large ensuite. Everything was modern and clean. (There was a 4th bedroom, which we didn't need, and the living area was geared up for 8.) The 'Upside-down' layout worked well with great views from the living area. The large hot tub (permanently on) was also great. The location means you need transport to get anywhere, but also it is very peaceful. Two miles away the 'Blacksmith Arms' in Lamerton does outstanding food. I would thoroughly recommend a stay at the cottage. If I had to suggest improvements, the ONLY thing I can suggest was to put covers on the toilet seats in the en suites.

• "It was clear this property has been decorated and equipped with a lot of thought and care."

  It is beautiful and homely and well equipped. We had an issue as one of the beds had broken but the owner responded immediately when called. There were a couple of other minor issues (the can opener definitely needs replacing) and given the UK weather, it would be helpful to have somewhere under cover (including over the spa bath) outside. The hob is temperamental at times and turns itself off but these were minor issues. The stairs to the bedrooms are not great if you have any mobility issues, which is a shame because with a through floor lift or even just a bannister it would be way more accessible. Overall however the group was unanimous that next time we return to the area we are hoping to return there.

• "What a lovely property."

  The bedrooms were spacious with the added bonus of all being ensuite which was perfect for our double family getaway. There was ample space in the garden for our dogs with some nice walks in the surrounding fields. The property had all the amenities you'd expect to find from a super host. I can't even say it was a negative but there wasn't teally enough work top space in the kitchen when your catering for up to 8 people, but we made it work. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend and revisit on another occasion.

• "Perfect for our family gathering with our adult children and partners."

  Well equipped kitchen, comfortable large beds with plenty of bathrooms. Hot tub working well. Delightful setting close to Tavistock and the moor for walking. Only usual minor issues with holiday rentals - eg frying pan no longer non stick ,chopping knives not great - easy enough to bring your own.

• "Gorgeous property that has been furnished to a high standard."

  Really spacious, high ceilings and lovely views with a cosy log fire and two smart TVs. Bedrooms and each en-suite bathroom lovely quality. It was the perfect place in the countryside for our family Christmas. Only slight downside (and this would not stop us returning) was no toilet on living level of the upside down property so my Mum struggled with going down the stairs during the day. Also chopping knives and frying pan could do with an upgrade - we would take our own in future but bear in mind induction hob. No hairdryers so take your own. But we loved it, would recommend and will definitely return. Easily the nicest place we have stayed in. Tavistock only a few miles away is a lovely market town where you can get everything you need.

• "An excellent property."

  Exceptionally comfortable 6" beds in every room. A separate dining room was very useful. Very helpful owners who dealt with a lack of internet for several days. Changes that would make this a 5-star place are: Desperate need for a drying machine, several toilets do not have a lid; not healthy. Extractor in on bathroom not working. Track leading to property has a few pot holes that would benefit from being gravel-filled.

• "Fabulous property in a lovely quiet location, but access to lots of places we wanted to visit within an hours drive (Polperro, Eden Project, Padstow, Brixham, Dartmoor)."

  Well equipped kitchen (possibly the best we have ever had - we like to cook on holiday from scratch). Very clean generally. Best bedrooms we have ever had on holiday - super king size beds, excellent mattresses, nice sized en suites. Nice garden with good sized table and of course the hot tub. Brilliant to have access to other parts of the property for the dogs to have a run (they loved the stream).

• "Lovely property in a rural setting."

  Very quiet. Comfortable for 8 people. The kitchen was a bit small and more casserole dishes and larger vegetable serving dishes are needed as we cooked mainly.

• "You would think that it could be difficult to impress eight friends, all well traveled and a touch fussy…."

  The Granary smashed it! The property is exactly as described and more, immaculate, luxurious and beautifully situated in the Devonshire countryside. Every bedroom is stunning, with quality linen and first class en-suites. As tennis players, we made full use of the tennis court, followed by relaxing in the hot tub. We cooked each evening and thoroughly enjoyed socialising together in the dining room, before settling into the lounge area with our coffees. The large TV meant we could all cheer on the English Roses in their quarter final

• "The Granary is a beautiful and spacious cottage with an ample garden area and large hot tub."

  The beds were extremely comfortable with an ensuite for every room. The cottage was spotlessly clean and provided plenty of lounge and dining seating for at least 10 people. We had a minor issue with the hot water, but the plumber was there within half an hour to resolve the problem- amazing service! We really enjoyed our stay at The Granary and would definitely recommend its five star luxury.

• "Outstanding property."

  Rare to find four bedrooms of equal size and quality, all en-suite and with the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in! Spacious living/kitchen area and huge dining room, ideal for family meals. Nice outdoor area, great hot-tub and the added bonus of a tennis court. Properties are often less impressive than online photos suggest, this one exceeded everyone's expectations. The only improvement would be a toilet on the same level as the living area, but the lack of one does not detract from the 5 star rating, as this was made clear when we booked.

  We found we were missing a few basic cooking requirements, I.e. tablespoon, wooden spoon, large serving dishes, an extra frying pan etc.

  Thank you for your feedback. We do our best to provide plenty of equipment for our guests in The Granary, and take advice from Helpful Holidays in this regard. However, we will certainly check this to ensure that the kitchen is fully equipped. Property Owner

• "Clean, bright, in excellent repair, with pristine linen, this holiday home was perfect for our family get together."

  The highchair and cot provided were terrific. We used one of the bedrooms, other than the master, for the cot, as our granddaughter settles better outwith her parents room. The facilities for cooking were just enough for family meals for 5 adults. Sadly we couldn't all make it to the holiday, so not 6 adults, just 5. Dog friendly home and garden. We walked to the Blacksmiths Arms daily, and to chipshop, and Rentor during the week, and had days out at Polperro and the Eden Project. Your home is ideally placed for those trips.

• "Lovely accommodation, provided an excellent base for families across the country to come and spend some time together."

  The only negative was that the hoover in the home could do with an upgrade. It was spotless when we arrived, but we tried to hoover the dog hair throughout the week which proved difficult as the hoover power was poor. All bedrooms/bathrooms were lovely and the upstairs space definitely the star of the show. Garden was also a welcome addition for the 2 dogs including a inquisitive corgi who managed to dart into the next field a few times and had a lovely adventure. Very close to Tavistock town and less than a ten minute drive to large supermarkets. Was a lovely space and would and would not hesitate to return.

  It is surrounded by the most stunning views and the outdoor space is beautiful. Inside the barn there is a lot of room- we travelled as two families (4 adults and 4 children) and there was more than enough space. Downstairs especially- the bedrooms are a good size and each have the most comfortable beds with and shower and bath in every room. Everything was to a very high spec it seemed. Couldn’t get over how lovely it all was! Attention to detail is high and the kitchen is stocked so well with all sorts of utensils which made cooking a dream. The living room has plenty of seating (very comfy and cosy) and the log burner is just delightful. The whole place was spotlessly clean and all looked very new. Overall, I would definitely recommend- ideal for families or groups of friends. Will definitely be returning

• "Lovely accommodation, furnished and decorated to a high level."

  Bedrooms are big and spacious and it was nice having en-suite facilities. Situated down a long lane so away from traffic and noise. Log burner was great since we went late November, which made it cosy! Couldn’t find a light for hot tub to use in the evening. A toilet on the first floor would be handy. Because it’s an upside down property we heard the boiler because it’s downstairs near the bedrooms and the hot tub pump. Said the heating was set on thermostat, but it didn’t come on, so assumed it was on a timer, which meant we were a bit cold for a while, but had it been a big issue we could have contacted the owner. Could do with more saucepans. Great property overall for a relaxing long weekend with friends.

  It was very clean, and tidy. It was not fussy and so you felt as if you were almost in a five star hotel when you entered the bedrooms. The towels were fluffy, the mattresses were very comfortable and the duvet was soft. The decoration was stunning. I loved the mosaic tiles in the bathrooms, and the egg shell paint on the doors. It was handy having a tv in the dining room, so when feeding our young kids they were being entertained. They had included lots of toilet rolls, washing powder and dishwasher tablets. The pictures on the walls were also beautiful. On a chilly evening it was blissful to light the fire in the lounge and fall asleep on the sofa. We mainly eat fish and so visited the pannier market in Tavistock and bought some lovely fresh fish, every night I cooked a delicious meal with local produce, and the kitchen had everything I needed. We have stayed in a few cottages and this one of my absolute favourite. Whenever I could I used the hot tub, and it was pure Luxury. We used the tennis courts with the kids, they loved running around and playing football and tennis. Chris and Janet were lovely, very caring and they helped us when we needed it and were not intrusive and let us enjoy our holiday. We wanted to get away and unwind, we absolutely loved our week in the Granary.
