"Thank you for a wonderful stay."
We hope to return in future, maybe booking Two Shoes as well to visit with extra family. We have so much left to see in the area. The beds were really comfy, the shower was hot and it was a powerful hairdryer which is rare in a holiday let. The kitchen is well equipped and the rooms are a great size with good storage, mirrors etc. Meadow, Dad and I were all very happy. The delicious lemon drizzle cake and dog biscuits were much appreciated. Dad said the only improvement that he could think of was bigger bath sheets for the shower. My only suggestion is to put some board games in the sideboard. Warm regards, Jo
Thank you so much for your comments. I'm glad you had a lovely stay! I'm sorry you didn't find the bag of games in the sideboard, by the books: chess, draughts, backgammon, cards, dice, dominoes and a jigsaw. I will label it so it's clear what's inside. Thank you for letting me know! Property Owner

From here, the sitting room is well-furnished and decorated to highlight original features, with a TV to keep you entertained in the evenings.
Upstairs, the bathroom has a shower and a bath, giving you the option for a quick rinse off or a long soak after a day of walking; the space also has a Velux window, which allows natural light to come in.
When sleep calls, the bedrooms are a perfect escape for you and your partner; choose between a super king size and a twin - both bedrooms have zip and link beds, making them flexible for couples, friends and families sharing.
Outside is where you can really enjoy the beauty of the local area; picture-perfect gardens with a lawn, ponds, and a delightful pergola with seating make a wonderful spot for your morning coffee or evening glass of wine while admiring the countryside views around you.
You can give yourself a break from cooking with one of the nearby country pubs serving home-cooked meals within easy reach, or venture into the market town of Okehampton.
