Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

"We love this house."
It is comfortable, easy for the dogs with a fenced garden, the owners next door are friendly and helpful, we’ll be booking again for next year. The house is well equipped , the beds are comfortable and all having an en suite is a great luxury. The kitchen is very well equipped although I as a short person struggle to reach into the cupboards above the fridge. Definitely 5 stars.

Very comfortable and clean. Only had a very minor problem in that the crockery is hard to reach over the top of the fridge/freezer. But otherwise a beautiful cottage. Definitely one of the best we have stayed in. Thank you so much for a lovely week even the weather was good.

The kitchen/ living area was well equipped and the burner provided lovely warmth for for the not so great Dartmoor weather.
The hosts greeted us on arrival by chance and they were lovely and welcoming.
Amazing walks nearby down to the river and the local pub served delicious food and had lovely people!
Would recommend to anyone wanting a countryside getaway!

"David and Katie offer a warm, well-equipped and charming 'home from home' at the Old Stone Barn."
. and it was lovely to meet them. The barn is very well situated near to many towns and walks, and swimming spots. Very close to the Dartmoor Way, and 2 Moors Way, and Holne is easily accessible from main routes. The village itself is friendly and welcoming, with a great little shop/cafe, excellent pub and a second hand book shop. The lawned garden is a nice outside space (even in December for a hot cuppa wrapped up in our dryrobes!) with farmyard sounds and birdsong. Yes indeed we hope to return!

It was great to have a separate bathroom for each bedroom for convenience. The open living and dining areas worked well for us with all the modern appliances we needed and comfortable sofas to relax on. The garden was a wonderful sunny area to sit in, relax and admire the views.

"Excellent stay and extremely dog friendly cottage."
The location is ideal for walks and beach visits are nearby. The cottage itself has everything you need (although 6 persons may be a liitle tight) and the enclosed garden is great for the dogs to run around and do their business. Owners are on hand to deal with any issues and made us feel welcome whilst at the same time giving us space. You may require to purchase additional logs if you visit during a cold spell and we were unfortunate to experience a day of no electric (due to storms) so left a little earlier than planned. No reflection on the property or owners. Book this cottage and you will not be disappointed.

"Both in your brochure and in the email confirmations it states that towels are not included at this property, but they were."
Although this was a pleasant surprise on arrival, we could have saved the space in the car as these are quite bulky.
I would have given a better score for cleanliness as the property had been cleaned well, but as we started to use cutlery and crockery, some of this still had food on.
