Reviews
"Loved my stay here in this clean, well-kept, cottage within walking distance of Chagford. In close proximity of lots of hiking routes and great local pubs... perfect days spent hiking in the day and cosy by the log fire at night. Picturesque cottage with a large kitchen, spacious bedrooms and cosy living rooms. Already planning my next trip back!"
"This is the perfect place to stay indeed. The cottage is beautiful, you have more than you can expect, a fantastic fireplace, cozy rooms, great light and every single detail is just amazing. Also the landscape, the surroundings and the great cream teas in town make this stay the perfect getaway for anyone."
"I have stayed at this charming cottage many times. It sits in a perfect location just outside the lovely village of Chagford with it's excellent pubs and restaurants. Thorn Cottage is the most delightful house I have stayed in during my many visits to Dartmoor. As soon as you step inside the cottage you feel completely at home. For those wanting to get away this is the place to escape to. A home from home for all seasons. The house and location is ideal for couples, families, dog lovers, ramblers, runners, cyclists, foodies, birdwatchers and couch potatoes! I love it and will be coming back in May."
"Have read about Chagford many times and the hamlet of Thorn, 15 mins walk is an absolute beauty comfortable with amazing views you feel isolated but still within a thriving community I would say it is a 4 seasons cottage.In the winter you want to be sitting on the lawn by the private lake and in the summer those open fire places look so welcoming... well stocked and judging by the guest/visitors book I am not alone in my thoughts"
