Simon and Sally and Monty were the most fantastic hosts and really looked after us. The cottage was spotless and looked even better than all the photos. Wonderful walks from the front door, wild swimming close by , and our dog loved it all too. Can’t thank them enough

We stayed in this wonderful cottage on the very edge of Dartmoor for about three weeks at the beginning of summer. A bridleway passes by the front door that takes you straight out into Dartmoor with endless hiking options. Another trail takes you over Maldon Hill to Chagford. Moretonhampstead is close by car for groceries and Exeter is only 45 minutes away. I recommend the Ordnance Survey Explorer map for Dartmoor. The paper map comes with a digital download for your phone. The quality of the beds is very important to us due to a bad back. The beds were very good. The cottage was fully equipped with everything we needed. There was plenty of space and very homey. When the bandwidth did not stream Netflix, we binged 4 seasons of Friends from the large collection of DVDs. Our O2 mobile phone did not work well in the area. We hiked to Chagford for breakfast at Folklore to catch up on text messages. Dog friendly! The cottage is dog friendly and the whole area is dog friendly. You can bring your dogs to almost all pubs and restaurants, and people do. I highly recommend this beautiful property for a short or long stay. Thank you Sally and Simon!

I loved this place, it was spotless. There has been much thought put into this place, it really has everything you need. It is very tasteful and the location is perfect for some peace and quiet. The only downside is the internet WiFi is a little unreliable. But otherwise a perfect place to stay :)

Lovely property, nice owners, very helpful.

An extremely comfortable and well equipped cottage well placed for discovering walks on the Moor. The villages nearby catered for all our needs. Simon and Sally were very welcoming and helpful and we certainly would book this cottage again.

Great property and location. Enjoyed our stay.

Southmead Cottage was everything we had hoped for, and in a perfect, wonderfully quiet Dartmoor location. Great for walks and touring the Higher Moor. We enjoyed every moment.

Excellent property for a family holiday with plenty of room for a group of 2 grandparents, parents and 2 children under 12. Kitchen well equipped for catering for family meals, cottage is quite remote down narrow lane so ate in most evenings. Lovely evening walks on your doorstep and well located for day trips to lots of tourist attractions in Dartmoor. Friendly owners live next door and offer quick response if needed. Overall clean and comfortable accommodation which we can recommend to anyone wanting a quiet peaceful break in beautiful surroundings.
