"A very quiet and peaceful location within fairly easy reach of major roads."
The welcome pack provided was very much appreciated. One very minor observation was made about the seating in the lounge - the seats were very comfortable, but not easy to rise from. Having recieved a welcome email from the owner , Sharon, this was duly mentioned to her aand noted for future referenceThe parking was more than adequate, . We found that by turning right out of the cottage and travelling under the bridge, it was quicker access to more major roads for onward journeys. However as the village roads are quite narrow, I can imagine that this direction may prove a little difficult for larger vehicles. All in all we had a wonderful stay - thyank you.

"Moor stone is a lovely cottage within walking distance off Dartmoor."
It has everything needed for a great holiday with comfy beds & a large garden unfortunately we had to cut the holiday short due the severe storms but would definitely recommend to anyone. The only draw back we had was from a neighbor who claimed we were smoking cannabis! but the problem was quickly cleared up by Sharron the owner

"The property was very comfortable, spacious and very well equipped."
The kitchen / dining room and living room were well proportioned, The provision of both a washing machine and tumble dryer was a bonus. From a safety perspective, numerous smoke detectors, etc were installed together with fire extinguishers and fire blankets. Outside, there was ample parking and a large garden for relaxing (with the bottle of wine provided by the owner). It was a easy stroll to the local pub in the village. Overall, a very enjoyable time at the house and if possible, we will stay there again.

"We really enjoyed our stay at Moorstone."
In a delightful setting with peaceful views, the house was beautifully decorated and comfortable, plenty of room for four of us. Parking was equally generous and easily accessible, considering the narrowness of the local village roads.
Thankyou very much for the lovely feedback it means so much to me Property Owner
