    We had a lovely stay at The Old Forge. It was warm comfortable and well equipped in a pretty location with a welcoming local pub. Great place to stay to unwind or explore Dartmoor and the coast.

    wonderful holiday cottage. well equipped, very nice kitchen, nice garden and cozy and comfortable rooms. village shop although very small, remarkably well stocked. if I would have to name one potential improvement: soft cushions in the garden seats would make a stay even nicer (we had nice weather so we spent a lot of time in the garden). thank you for having us!
