Grand View

A fantastic week in this gorgeous cottage. Fabulous views, including of Haytor. Every evening spent watching the sunset. We didn't want to leave. Quiz the labrador loved the field.

Amazing, beautifully looked after house with everything you could want and stunning views. Lovely large garden.

My partner and I visited Grand View in March 2022, and what a place it is! It really is something special - the moment you walk in you are greeted by one of the most amazing views out of the bi-fold doors. We had great weather and opened the bi-fold doors throughout the day to frame the view of the countryside. Grand View is a complete retreat with the distant noises of the horses and sheep in the surrounding fields. At night time we were falling asleep to the gentle sounds of a barn owl close by which was lovely. The whole house was IMMACULATELY clean, beyond belief - I can't reiterate enough how clean this house was! Grand View had everything we could possibly need, from utensils in the kitchen to the ironing board, even a picnic basket with Champagne glasses ready to take out on a picnic. The master bedroom suite upstairs is stunning with such a beautiful bathroom with a gorgeous deep bath - the perfect place to relax after a long day exploring before settling down by the log stove which has plenty of logs provided for us. It goes without saying the view from the master bedroom is incredible! The house is in a great location for exploring; during our stay we managed to visit Castle Drogo, Bovey Castle, Salcombe, Noss Mayo, Dartmouth, Brixham, Torquay, Paignton and Teignmouth (oh and also the obligatory trip to Trago Mills when down in the South West). There is a big field attached to the house that's great for walking the dog around. Just down the road from the house is a dairy farm which has a milk station for you to fill up bottles with fresh milk and also make milkshakes, a great little touch just two minutes drive down the road. Upon arrival Nick popped in to greet us and show us how to work the biomass boiler which required topping up with wood pellets each day for hot water and heating in the house, he gave us tips on things to do locally and was really welcoming. After Nick had left we realised there was a voucher to the value of £15 for a local garden centre as usually they leave you a cream tea but due to the pandemic this wasn't possible - what a lovely, welcoming gesture. We can't wait to stay here again! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful house with us. ...

This is one spectacular house with a spectacular view to match, and the photos really don't do it justice. It's stylish and comfortable, thanks to the great owners who are extremely welcoming and have thought about everything. We very much enjoyed our stay there and wouldn't hesitate to go back again....
