"We loved the coach house."
Warm, comfortable, plenty of space, magical location, perfect for the dog with an enclosed back garden and stone work ground floors. We will definitely come again

"Lovely house ."
Fabulous facilities just difficult with the small steps from drawing room, dining room and small sitting room . Not really suitable for under 2/3 year olds , or elderly with sight problems . Two of our toddlers had several falls ! But survived and no harm done ! Noisy with stone floors , it would be great if chair legs could have some sort of pads applied to reduce the noise, both in kitchen and dining room. A kitchen mop would have been helpful. But honestly it was a great house and we loved it . Flowers ,cake and milk on arrival a thoughtful and welcome touch . Thank you again . We will return another year . Private chef, from Outside Inn Cuisine Team , recommended by Mrs Cunningham, was an absolutely treat. Thank you all for making our stay so enjoyable. Jakki

"Outstanding property in a very peaceful location."
My family loved the whole experience. Our parties are range was from 11 to 73 and all loved it. The kids were a bit disappointed with the quality of the Wi Fi however the adults were delighted with poor reception. Piece. The indoor pool was a great success as the heating for the outdoor pool had driven down. The surrounding garden was a great hit on the warmer days. A couple of trips into Tavistock were very successful and enjoyable ( lovely little market town) We would have no hesitation in recommending The Coach House and would love to return in the future. Thanks for allowing us to holiday in your lovely home.

Pool was a great addition and clay pigeon shooting was fun too . Would recommend for sure

"Could the internet signal be improved by wi-fi extenders ?"
A firestick was missing from Amazon application - so couldn't be accessed. It was so kind of Victoria to provide us with some warm brownies on our arrival. Much appreciated.

"The Coach House is a delight."
Comfortably furnished and beautifully decorated with great attention to detail (art work and ornaments). The kitchen is very well equipped with every size of pot, pan, dish and plate that you could want or need (but a new can opener is needed). The gardens are perfect. Shrubs for interest in every season surround the sunny and sheltered seating area and the neatly kept lawns are great for games of all sorts. The additional facilities of games room, heated outdoor pool, endless pool and sauna are perfect for families of all ages at all times of year.

"Lovely house, perfect for our large family, although we did have to compromise on bedroom layout would have been nice to have one of the rooms as a double ( but that was just our pref) ."
The house was super well equipped , a nice touch having some basics for cooking and dishwashing. Some fresh eggs and brownies were a welcome surprise on arrival. Very cosy once the fires were lit as it was an exceptionally cold spell when we were there.
-
"A brilliant property for all the family, age range two and a half to OAP!"
Thoroughly enjoyed indoor pool, games room and good walks from the doorstep, we were all reluctant to leave and wished for a longer stay. The availability of clay pigeon shooting with excellent tuition was an added bonus!

Absolutely lovely house, very comfortable and well equipped The whole family were able to have a fantastic time The children especially enjoyed the swimming pool and games room
-
"The property was lovely, perfect for the whole family, and the owners friendly and helpful."
Our only issue was that the information folder in the property was out of date, therefore prices quoted for activities were inaccurate. Other than that, we had a fantastic time and would have loved to stay a little longer!
-
"We had a superb stay at The Coach House."
What a lovely place in stunning surroundings. Very helpful but unobtrusive owners, an extremely spacious house and plenty to do in the surrounding area. Our kids 3 1/2 and 21 months absolutely loved the play room, garden Wendy house and pool as well as the friendly sheep in the field behind the garden. Lots of excellent places too eat too - Bearslake Inn, Dartmoor Inn and The Cornish Arms, Tavistock come well recommended.
-
"The House and the estate are excellent and it's a wonderful place to stay."
This is my sixth or seventh visit since I was a kid (and I'm now pushing 40). I only wish we'd stayed for longer.
-
"Excellent home for a large group ,something for all ages OAP,"a to 6 year olds ."
Lots of thoughtful touches around the property which made for a very comfortable stay.
-
"Very comfortable property in a wonderful spot Our grandchildren loved the indoor pool and the games room also the tennis court."
It was great to be able to take the three dogs, they enjoyed the lovely walks and the large gardens. It was a lovely touch to walk in and see fresh flowers and a tin of home made chocolate brownies.

"We had a fabulous time at the Coach House."
Our party of 4 adults, 5 kids (aged 5 to 9) and a dog had plenty of space and the children in particular loved the indoor swimming pool. The house feels very homely and we enjoyed cooking and eating at the very large dining table and sitting by the fires in the evening. As a minor point some of the cooking utensils need replacing and the food processor lid was broken, but this did not impact our stay and I would highly recommend this house for families.
-
"We were delighted with our stay in this very well-equipped house."
It was clean, comfortable and full of character. The indoor pool/sauna and games room plus log fires in the evenings made it an excellent spot for a winter break. Beautiful walking and well-stocked farm shop nearby.

"Lovely old house with stylish, comfortable furnishings in a secluded location on the edge of the moor."
Spacious garden and terrace plus own small pool, sauna and games room. Owners very friendly and helpful.
-
"Beautiful house, equipped with everything you would need."
The games room and pool are a fantastic asset that kept the whole family entertained. We loved going out to the back garden each morning to see the cows, and the impressive bull that live at the back. The hosts were welcoming, friendly and always happy to help. We hope to visit again soon.

"Have just spent a week in August in The Coach House."
The house is very comfortable and accommodated our family of 11 from the age of 4 to 70 very well, plus Honey the dog. The weather was warm but it was overcast with occasional showers most days. The outdoor pool was just across from the house and we made good use of that every day, then had a dip in the indoor pool and warmed up in the sauna. We had bikes with us and cycled part of the Devon coast to coast cycle route and Drakes way cycle route. Made good use of the tennis court and games room, and walked through the farm onto the moors, so a very active week! We loved Tavistock for easy shopping and fish and chips. Enjoyed a pub meal in Lydford one evening. And for our last evening meal together bought a leg of lamb from the farm and with some vegetables from the walled garden, next door to the house, had a delicious dinner. Another summer holiday with the family making memories.

"Our 3rd Xmas at this wonderful house, the perfect venue for a family get together."
Once you arrive you are totally relaxed and everything you need is provided. The kids love the pool and the adults can enjoy all the facilities knowing they have total privacy. Located near Tavistock and on the edge of Dartmoor, you can explore to your heart’s content, knowing you have a great base to return to. An absolute perfect break any time of year.
-
"Wonderful family house with excellent facilities."
Very comfortable with plenty of room for adults and children. In beautiful location on edge of moors but close enough to Tavistock for shopping etc.
-
"Very comfortable and well provided accommodation for our group of eleven people across three generations."
Although the weather was poor the house was well placed for trips across Devon and into Cornwall, which we did. The games rooms, plunge pool and sauna were great fun for us all and we enjoyed the spacious house and grounds. It was also good for our two dogs who enjoyed themselves. Would recommend for a large family together.
-
"We had a blissful family week at The Coach House, enjoying the pools, games and beautiful peaceful walks - plus many great evening meals around the huge dining table!"
Would be happy to recommend this cottage - and I’m sure we’ll be back!
-
"We had a great week in the coach house, it was a really great place to stay."
The only thing was we were a all adult family and could have done with another single bed instead of the bunks, but we managed. And enjoyed the facilities. And would stay there again if we are in that area.

"We bookedbThe Coach House in October 2018 and were not disappointed."
It is a beautiful house with more than enough room for our group of 6 adults and 5 children. The facilities were exactly as described and we felt right at home. The owners were so welcoming and took us clay pigeon shooting! We will be returning.

Such a shame Helpful Holidays has gone,

The property
There are few more picturesque places than this Dartmoor farmstead surrounded by trees at the end of a private farm lane.
Along the lane is this spacious coach house, complete with your own indoor swimming pool, games room and sauna, meaning the family will never be bored, whatever the weather brings.
The accommodation is elegant and comfortable with lots of windows and big rooms to relax in.
Chill out by the open fire in the big living room fireplace, gather around the table or the piano in the dining room which opens to a patio, or cook up a storm in the smart kitchen.
A den with wood burner and second TV is another cosy room, and the children get their own little snug with toys too.
Upstairs, the master double with its handsome mahogany bed boasts an en suite shower room, and there are four more bedrooms.
The beauty of this wonderful farmstead is the range of activities available, with a shared outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, games room and gym.
You can wander where you choose on the 250 acre farm, with its pond, animals and plentiful wildlife, and help too if you bring your wellies.
Get stuck into country pursuits in the shape of clay pigeon shooting, archery and mountain biking, or bring your own horses on holiday and ride on the moors which are just beyond the farms fields (small extra charges may apply).
You will eat like kings on this traditional farm, with eggs and fresh seasonal veg often available, or the friendly owner provides a sumptuous menu of evening meals; for eating out, Lydford is renowned for its two excellent food pubs.
If you can tear yourselves away from the farm, there is dramatic Dartmoor to explore by foot, bicycle or car, plunging Lydford Gorge and a ruined castle.
Water sports are on offer at Roadford Lake and Tavistock is an historic market town full of interest.
This is an ideal spot for a family holiday with lots to do on site or in the area.
