Lovely little place with everything you could ever need. Handily located for the coast, Dartmoor and Plymouth. Ugborough is a lovely village with two great pubs, we ate in The Anchor and it was delicious with super pints of Jail Ale (if that's your thing!).

Beautiful picturesque garden cottage

Absolutely peaceful and tranquil break. Hosts very friendly. Cottage extremely clean, bed very comfortable. The view from the living room was fantastic. Sitting by the fishing pond at the end off the day watching the fish and listening to the little lambs bleating was just so peaceful. The only downside which was only a slight inconvenience is the cottage doesn't have an enclosed garden. Not so much off an issue for us as our girl is quite obedient but we did have a moment on the last morning when she saw some girls walking away from the main house and ran after them. She came straight back when whistled but I can see issues if your dog is a little more mischievous.

Perfect Little Spot

We’ve been looking for somewhere to stay whilst we visit family in Plymouth, as we have a baby under 1 we needed kitchen facilities. The Garden Cottage is situated in such a beautiful location that is rural but you are only five minutes from the main road. The whole property was spotless, we had such a variety of amenities and a lovely welcome card and biscuits. We really enjoyed our stay and it felt like a home away from home.

Mr

Peaceful & quiet, in easy reach of all that we wanted. had to stop to listen to the silence. Access to the lake and being able to fish was a real bonus. We were hosted in a relaxed way and were reassured that they would be available if necessary. The property was well equipped and the sofa bed worked well for the third person- we felt that the space worked fine for three people. My wife described the location as bit of Eden!!

Calm, green and friendly

The house is very cozy, we especially loved the garden and the view on the garden from everywhere in the little cottage. It's green, it's peaceful and also very clean and neat. Rachel and Alex were friendly and very discreet. You can visit the coast, nice little villages as well as places in the Dartmoor national park. We liked the footpath to the nearest village Ugborough. And the people in Devon are so friendly! We strongly recommend a visit!!

Perfect base for exploring South Devon

The Garden cottage is in the perfect location for exploring South Devon, situated just a couple of minutes from the A38. The cottage itself is in a very peaceful location, with very dark skies and no road noise to be heard. Nice kitchen, comfy settee (the living room is basically a conservatory on the front of the old barn, which makes for nice all round views of the garden) and a copy bed. Great for couples.

Rural retreat

Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Garden Cottage. It's a lovely cosy well equiped little place tucked away down a lane only leading to the farm. The welcome tray was a nice touch. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was excellent We found it was a convenient location for us to base ourselves to catch up with family but be aware that you will be driving along some very narrow lanes!

Lovely bolt hole!

A lovely place to stay - the sat nav found it easily which was a relief. The owner was very friendly, and the cottage was clean and fitted out with all that you could want. The fishing lake was well stocked and we enjoyed some peaceful fishing there. That area of South Devon has much to explore but it was just as nice to relax in the cottage and surrounding garden. All in all, a wonderful break!

Immaculate cottage in beautiful location, perfect for exploring Dartmoor and the South Devon coast

Me, my mum and my dog Maude recently came home from a lovely week long stay at The Garden Cottage. The cottage was immaculately clean which is a top priority in current times. The bed was comfortable and the cottage had everything you could need. Rachel was a lovely host and saw that we had settled in to the cottage well. We were able to enjoy the beautiful gardens surrounding the cottage, eating outside on sunnier evenings and going for walks around the fishing pond which was a real treat! We would highly recommend The Garden Cottage to anyone wanting to explore this part of the country and we would love to visit again.
