About the host
Hosted by Sue Graves
The Graves family have owned and run The Rock Inn which is next door to Early Mist Cottage for 30 years. During that time the Inn's reputation for the quality of its food and accommodation has been the key to its success and longevity. Now having acquired Early Mist Cottage the same high standards have been passed on.
Why they chose this property
This beautiful cottage next door to the Inn has long been admired by the Graves family. Having known the previous owners for over 25 years and them being very good customers of The Rock Inn it was only natural that when the opportunity arose to acquire the cottage it was taken without hesitation.
What makes this property unique
The cottage is built using Dartmoor granite which gives it a unique 'old world' feel which is hard to describe or replicate. The beautiful fire place and uneven walls are testament to its heritage. The beautiful and spacious garden across the road and the short walk to entire Dartmoor wilderness adds to a cottage which is truly special.
