"I had quite high hopes for this cottage and had seen it a few times before and not booked for one reason or another. I am so pleased I did. It is in a gorgeous position on a quiet lane overlooking fields and completely private and quiet. The stream at the front makes a wonderful sound and always made me happy. The gardens go around the house which is nice for exploring and we didn’t spend any time in the garden really (it was October) but the table and chairs made me think how lovely it would be to sit or eat outside in the after, drier months. The house itself is so warm and cosy and whereas the kitchen is not big and you slightly manoeuvre around the table, it was such.a lovely centre of the house and very warm thanks to the Aga. The dogs loved it. We did use the downstairs snug and sofa bed, our 16 year old son was very happy with the set up, own space and shower room and we had the three upstairs. My mum had the single which suited her well (it is small) and my daughter happy in the double. We had the big room which is a wonderful and has the comfiest (enormous) bed we had ever slept in! I loved sitting up in bed listening to the stream outside in the morning. The bathroom was down for us although the bath is a bit awkward for older, less agile, people. The only downside is the very loud creaky floorboards which we had to learn to navigate / avoid during the night and early morning because they easily make enough noise to disturb.or wake. I suspect they are tricky to fix."

"Our stay was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Before arrival, I requested a bouquet of flowers and some balloons to be arranged in our room, and it was beautifully set up just as we hoped. The room itself was lovely, we stayed in a castle valley view room. Waking up to a breathtaking sunrise made it even more memorable. The Sunday roast was exceptional, honestly, the best we’ve had anywhere, and we’ve tried many places for roasts! Breakfast was also excellent, with plenty of variety. We even requested a few items not on the menu, and it was no trouble at all. A truly unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!"

"House was warm and comfortable. What really recommends this place is its location. You can walk out of the property and go exploring in any direction without getting in the car. A few tors, the Warren House pub and Grimpound (bronze age settlement) are all within a manageable distance with young children (ours 3 +7)."

"A beautiful hotel set in lovely gardens on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. Friendly, attentive and helpful staff. Very good standard of food. The classic room we stayed in was spacious, comfortable and very clean. Perfect for a relaxing break once you have negotiated the 1.5 mile single track road to the hotel!"

"The cottage is located very near to the center of the village, which has everything you need for a long stay. The kitchen is well appointed but we did have problems with the overly sensitive smoke detector. Communication with Lisa was excellent. She responded immediately to any questions we had. The place is best suited for people who plan to spend most of their time outdoors walking and exploring, since it doesn’t have an outdoor patio or yard. Chagford is a very special place with lots to do even if you don’t have a car. We loved our time there."
