"Lovely peaceful cottage well equipped and very well refurbished."
Felt very comfortable, home from home, chocolate cake was a gorgeous surprise. Very spacious in all rooms and bathrooms where top spec. Beds and furniture were very comfortable. 2 suggestions 1 a name plate for Dishcombe cottage at main entrance and an outside tap and short hose to wash boots and dogs paws.

"Lovely cottage, beautifully furnished."
A tasty chocolate cake and a bottle of wine welcomed us! There are games and good books and a useful folder detailing nearby attractions, shops, pubs etc.. A gas BBQ outside which we used twice. A short journey to Dartmoor for excellent walks and excellent pubs. And Caroline the owner could not have been more helpful, would highly recommend.

"Very spacious clean cottage with everything there you need."
Large secure garden for our dog. Real warm welcome from Caroline and lovely gifts, especially the delicious chocolate cake. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed our stay in Dishcombe cottage.

"This is an amazing property where the owners try to make your life as easy as possible by providing things such as washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, paper towels, scourer and sponge."
Enough loo paper to last a couple of weeks. To top that there was a bottle of wine in the fridge along with some milk, tea and coffee and a homemade chocolate cake. Scrummy

"We had the best time at Dishcombe!"
Everything was so clean and tidy, the views were fantastic, the appliances were all great. Everyone enjoyed their stay so much and we all feel so refreshed now. Thank you so much for the wine and cake too, they were lovely!

"Immaculate cottage in lovely rural location, perfectly presented with everything you need - even a delicious chocolate cake and some milk were waiting for us."
For a cottage, the living room, bedrooms & bathrooms were remarkably spacious. The bedding was particularly high-quality and very comfy indeed - even my teenage son commented on how good it was. If Dishcombe Cottage has a fault, it's a longish walk to the nearest pub - but my wife volunteered as designated driver, so solved!
Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad you all enjoyed your stay and do hope we will see you here again in the future. Property Owner

The property
Sticklepath 1.5 miles.
Dishcombe Cottage is a beautiful architect-converted property, located within the stunning Dartmoor National Park, in South Tawton. Set behind the owner’s home, this family-friendly property enjoys far-reaching countryside views and access to the surrounding woodlands and meadows for walks.
Arrive to find three off-road parking spaces by the cottage and a wonderful garden, with gas BBQ where you can look forward to dining alfresco with a view.
Inside Dishcombe Cottage, you will find a contemporary and fully-equipped kitchen, where you can prepare delicious meals, ready to enjoy in the welcoming living/ dining room.
After dinner, kick-back and relax on the sofas while you watch your favourite show on the Smart TV with your dogs curled up in front of the crackling woodburning stove.
The downstairs is completed by a cloakroom for your convenience.
Head upstairs, where you will find two spacious family bathrooms, both with baths and separate walk-in showers, perfect for freshening up after an adventure-filled day. When sleep calls, choose from three beautifully-presented bedrooms, a super-king-size (zip/link) with a Smart TV, a king-size, and a twin (zip/link), all of which offer breathtaking countryside views.
Dishcombe is in the parish of South Tawton one mile from the cottage, where you will find the 15th century Church House – a fine example of a medieval community building which is still in use today – and St. Andrew’s Church with over 100 medieval carved roof bosses. The other neighbouring village (also one mile from the cottage) is South Zeal with two traditional old pubs – the Oxenham Arms and the King’s Arms. There are also tennis courts and a children’s playground.
The next door village is Sticklepath, which has a well stocked village shop and café and the interesting National Trust: Finch Foundry. There is also a lovely circular walk from the Finch Foundry car park along the River Taw at Skaigh.
Not far away is the picturesque Stannary town of Chagford, where you will find an interesting selection of independent shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants, and the Chagford Swimming Pool (seasonal opening times): ideal if you’re visiting in the summer months.
From your new home from home, you can embark on scenic hikes and bike rides through the rich countryside and moorland or visit nearby attractions including The National Trust's Castle Drogo or Stone Lane Gardens.
The closest large town is Okehampton, which has all amenities including Waitrose, Lidl & Co-op, a cinema and a good range of other shops. Attractions include the Museum of Dartmoor Life, Okehampton Castle and, if you time your visit right, you can attend the annual Okehampton Show in August.

For sandy beaches, you can head to Bude on the north coast or Exmouth on the south coast, each about 30 miles away.
For a blissful retreat near the moors, look no further than Dishcombe Cottage.
