Buzzards Rise

Buzzard's Rise is joint first in our rating of all the holiday homes we have booked, over the last 16 years of holidaying in the UK, (multiple times a year, so that makes quite a lot of cottages we have visited!). The attention to detail on what guests need and how to make us feel comfortable was brilliant, even down to useful lead/coat/towel hooks, boot racks and coat dripping space outside! The quality of the fittings, fixtures & equipment was amazing and to have lovely glasses to drink out of and two cafetieres to accommodate decaf & caffeine drinkers was fabulous! The secure and huge garden was totally amazing for our piece of mind and our energetic terrier, Darcy, loved having space to chase her ball. (She even improved on her recall & allowing us to pat her outside, during her holiday, big progress for our Rehomer!) We loved that she could be left outside exploring without worry of her expanding her exploring further than the garden! To walk in and feel immediately at home, is a rare experience in a holiday home, but Buzzard's Rise, certainly felt like home and was immaculately clean, warm and cosy. The provision of ample wood for the fire, cleaning materials, dishwasher tablets etc. and a beautiful Welcome Hamper were the ''icing on the cake'' (or ''cream on the scone'', might be more apt!). Vicki and Jon have done a fabulous job with this property and were so helpful with useful tips of walks, places to visit and cafes in the area. It is certainly our intention to return for another wonderful stay, explore further, complete more walks and hopefully, use the outside seating area and fire pit. (The weather over New Year was a little challenging for sitting outside, even for us!) ...

Buzzards Rise exceeded our expectations in every way. The attention to detail was just incredible and the decor is stunning. If I could score this property it would get 20/10. We didn’t take our dogs as we were on a fact finding mission but they’ll definitely come with us next time and there will be a next time. Thanks Vicki and Jon for such a lovely welcome. ...

Buzzards Rise was exactly as it seems in the pictures, a lovely place to relax and enjoy your surroundings. There are lots of amazing dog walks very close to the property, plus a good pub in walking distance and fine dining a short taxi away.

A true gem of a cottage - one of the best we have ever stayed in. The owners have thought of everything. The garden was fully secure for our two dogs, making all the difference to a relaxing stay.

Buzzards Rise is the most fabulous property, set in a tranquil location with a fantastic enclosed garden, which was ideal for our dog. The friendly but unobtrusive owners were very welcoming on arrival and were on hand if we needed their help - but we didn't as they had thought of absolutely everything and left very useful information in the welcome folder. The property was presented to a very high standard indeed, both inside and out and was spotlessly clean; we especially loved sitting outside on the patio in the late afternoon sun with a cup of tea listening to the birdsong - it was sublime. There are some great activities in the area, we visited Tamar Trails, browsed the shops and pannier market in Tavistock, explored the grounds at Cotehele and took in the fantastic views at nearby Kit Hill. There's a selection of great pubs nearby - we visited The Springer Spaniel at Treburley - one of the friendliest pubs we've ever visited, with great food and a warm welcome for both us and the dog. If you want to get away from it all in a tranquil location with plenty of things to do in the area then book Buzzards Rise - you won't regret it. In fact, we didn't want to leave!...
