Our time there was a highlight of our trip to England. The location was gorgeous. Georgina and David were warm and friendly - the perfect hosts. We were lucky to arrive during lambing season and had the opportunity to hold one of the lambs and meet her family! The cottage was sparkling clean with every convenience. Georgina offers, for a fee, her homemade food and we happily partook of her croissants and vegetarian cottage pie. Georgina and David gave us wonderful advice about Dartmoor and we explored the moor and the Cornwall coast. We would love to go back to Higher Kellacott. ##### Charles S.

The gardens are a lovely place to relax and watch the sunset over the beautiful views of Dartmoor. Perfect location for exploring the moors as well as both north/south Devon and Cornwall. ##### Pippa O. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David C.

Quiet location with views of Dartmoor. Superb king size bed, quality bathroom with great hot shower and bath. The kitchen is of a high standard with many basic ingredients already there. Proper coffee maker etc. Everything is geared for you to have a warm, comfortable, relaxing stay. Georgina is so welcoming and helpful and the food she supplied is top notch. Bread, croissants sausages etc. Worth every penny. You do need a car to enjoy you stay as walking from the cottage and the immediate vicinity is limited. Top marks though. ##### David C.

Beautiful location, everything you could possibly need! Great communication with the host. Good directions and so easy to find. The cottage is very well appointed, plenty of space with a luxurious feel. It was very comfortable. We enjoyed the outdoor space, loungers, garden, patio and bbq. The views of Dartmoor were lovely and we had clear nights and an almost full moon and with the stars out, it was amazing. We particularly enjoyed the home made produce of bread, bacon & sausages which were all very tasty. The location is stunning and it is extremely peaceful. I would highly recommend and definitely will be back! ##### helen s. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John H.

The cottage was spotlessly clean (I pity any hopeful spiders, because they didn't stand a chance), beautifully and tastefully decorated, equipped to a terrifically high standard (three different ways to make coffee and a milk frother!) and so, so comfortable. Views across Dartmoor in the morning were idyllic. The local produce - home-cured bacon, sausages and eggs, home-baked bread - was delicious, and we took some home at the end of the stay. The cottage is perfectly located for central Devon and into Cornwall, walks on West Dartmoor or the north coast. East Dartmoor was a little further away - we visited Dartington Hall for a beautiful walk along the river Dart, seeing no fewer than three kingfishers, although this was about an hour and a quarter's drive so not quite so accessible. We would highly recommend the walk around Meldon reservoir and up to Black Tor (a bit boggy part way around), the Granite Way cycle track from Okehampton over to Lydford (tea at the National Trust site at Lydford Gorge), and the Tarka Trail (walking or cycling) from Okehampton up to Instow and onwards. For local towns, Launceston and particularly Tavistock are very pleasant. Georgina was the perfect host, showing us around the property on arrival (so often with places you are just left a keycode to a lockbox for entry, but not here, we were given a proper tour of the cottage), From then on we were left to ourselves, but Georgina was always available to answer any queries - not that there were any. Overall I can confidently say that this is one of the best cottages that we have ever stayed in, and I am sure that we will be returning. Thank you, Georgina, for making our stay so pleasant. ##### John H. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie P.

The cottage itself is beautifully decorated and really felt like a home from home. Little touches like fresh flowers really added to the experience. The super king size bed was a dream to sleep in and the cottage had all the necessary home comforts and more. We took advantage of the locally produced bacon, eggs and honey during our stay which were all delicious. The location is remote but as long as you have a car the nearby towns are within easy reach. Georgina was a fantastic host, warm, accommodating and helpful. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Katie P. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019
