• "Nestling barn was perfect, it's was spotlessly clean and had plenty of character."

  It was so peaceful, just the birds singing and noises from the animals, just bliss .The view was stunning, you could see for miles, as it is quite high up. The only downside was getting there, the road going up to the house had lots of pot holes, although it did state, that the road maybe unsuitable for some vehicles, we were not prepared for what confronted us, also very narrow lanes from Peter Tavy up to the turn off. This would be the only reason we might not come again.

  Thank you so much for your lovely feedback - we are really glad that you enjoyed your stay despite the difficulties with the roads leading in. Property Owner

• "A lovely barn conversion, clean and comfortable."

  The only noise you hear is the sound of sheep in the fields, so if you like peace and quiet this is the place.

• "The Nestling is a superb holiday cottage, well equipped, clean, warm & comfortable, great for dogs too."

  Good chats with the owners. It is in an ideal location for access to the moors & Tors of Dartmoor. We were very lucky with the weather. We had many long walks. It was lovely to hear the Cuckoo every day, seeing the lambs/sheep at the farm and the Dartmoor ponies & their foals, even saw a fox. Thank you!

  Thank you so much for your lovely review! We so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. It was lovely meeting and chatting with you both Property Owner

• "This was a lovely, quiet venue, just right for a relaxed honeymoon."

  Compact, but with everything we needed. More information on access would have been useful as I have mobility issues with steps, but we managed. Being able to self regulate the heat would have been good, but we do understand why it was controlled by the owner. Beautiful views from the windows, and interesting micro climate. Lots of places to vist from this location. Ellen was warm and welcoming and helpful in any way that she could be. We may well be back.

  Thanks so much for your review and feedback - we are glad that you had a peaceful honeymoon! I’ve checked the property listing and it does state that there are steps down to the property and inside but do feel free to contact Sykes with any further information that you feel should have been available for accessibility and they will add it. All the best! Property Owner

• "Excellent stay with you."

  The lane is not a problem as its Devon and to be expected. Tourist information would be helpful in the cottage and cleaning cloths under the sink, but you have provided spray chemicals. So thanks for them.

  Thank you for your feedback and we’re glad that you enjoyed your stay! We have added cleaning cloths and sponges to our cupboards as per your recommendations. We continue to remove paper tourist information for covid protection measures unfortunately. Property Owner

• "When moving the bed to gain access to the wall socket we were confronted by a lot of accumulated dust and spider webs; the terrace and railings needed repairing; the lawn could be tidier."

  One couldn't beat the ambience of the surrounding setting, so pieceful throughout, a beautiful spacious view! We would happily return for another stay and also recommend it to our friends. Thank you!

  Thank you for your feedback and positive comments. Thank you for drawing our attention to the dust under the bed; being a solid mahogany sleigh bed, it can be difficult to move for one cleaner and as a country property we are subject to very persistent spiders! However, we have now rectified the issue and will monitor it. We prefer to limit outdoor maintenance that is close to our properties (such as railings and terraces) to our winter closure times to minimise noise and disruption to our guests but we apologise if you found them unsightly.

  Once again Sykes came up trumps Ellen and her husband were very friendly and hospitable, only one very, very small thing the plug in the basin in the bathroom didn’t fit properly and so Dennis found it difficult to shave

  Thank you for your lovely feedback! It was great to meet you both. Our apologies about the plug and thank you for bringing it to our attention Property Owner

  Property was clean and well presented, small garden in need of TLC. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Very small kitchen lacking in basic essentials i.e colander OR slotted spoon, mixing basin. Very comfortable couch. Owners are aware of problem with duvet and mattress

• "We had an amazing time staying in the cottage."

  The views were simply stunning. We had a little problem with the bed being far to noisy, but as soon as we mentioned it, it was fixed on the same day. All joking aside it was extremely noisy and they were so grateful we pointed it out as like they said they don’t sleep in there so they wouldn’t know. After that we had an amazing time.

• "Fabulous week away staying at Nestling on White Tor Farm."

  Very cosy and brilliantly situated with great views. Although it is a remote hill farm, there is walking right from the door and only a short drive to lots of other Dartmoor attractions so best of both worlds. Tavistock only a few miles away for shopping etc. Loved our week here. Ellen, the owner, was really helpful. Can't rate it highly enough. Very sad to leave. Had many holidays as a child on Dartmoor and so good to be back visiting old haunts and exploring new and we will certainly be rebooking in the future.

  Only downside this time was the state of the access road and track due to local farm activity in extremely wet weather Still a wonderful break and will come again

• "Stayed for 6 nights in September."

  We were greeted with fresh milk, eggs and a sweet treat on our arrival. The cottage was perfectly suited for a couple and accommodated our pet dog perfectly. Clean and well maintained with spectacular views of Dartmoor and the stunning night sky. The access road from Peter Tavy is quite the experience and not for the faint hearted! Don’t let that put you off a wonderful venue with more than helpful hosts Ellen and Geoff.

• "It is a delightful, well equipped, warm and cosy cottage."

  Plenty of room for one or two people, very dog friendly. Access is a mile or so down country lane and up a steepish farm road up to the cottages, which was nowhere near as bumpy as some people have suggested. Maybe not for your low slung Ferrari. but fine for normal folk. More than compensated by one of the most beautiful views from the cottage and garden. Stunning and tranquil. I heard a cuckoo every day. Owners are very friendly and helpful. One small reservation is that the wonderfully comfortable double bed is rather low so, if you are a bit older and less mobile, you have work at getting up . Otherwise, very Highly recommended.

• "Fantastic location and hosts were friendly and helpful."

  The cottage would benefit from a small folding clothes maiden so hand-washed items could be dried easily. It would be great if a small gate could be fitted to make the garden secure as it’s not very relaxing to be constantly watching the dog doesn’t wander. Overall, a great little cottage in a great location.

• "WhitieTor farm cottages was delightful."

  Clean, well equipped. very comfortable and in a beautifulpeaceful location. The owners are lovely, we had a little welcome treat, they were there when needed but not overly present. Love the fact they grabbed us a loaf of bread from the local shop when we got snowed in. The only thing that would have improved our great holiday was if the garden had a gate and extra buttons to the fencing, so it was totally secure and the dogs couldn’t have roamed onto the farm. But the paddock to run the dogs in was a dream come true for our two dogs. Many thanks
