Guestbook for Tilley's Cottage

VERY cosy and welcoming with everything on the doorstep. We could walk from the door towards Dartmoor and there are numerous well signed walks.! We had an excellent meal at the pub a few metres from the cottage and the next door deli is the best ever, which made eating in a pleasure as well.
Recommended for: Romantic Getaway, Tourists without a Car, Age 55+, Families with Teenagers, Girls Getaway, Sightseeing

This cottage is better than the photos...the attention to detail and the amazingly lavish upholstery and furnishings outstrip any hotel I've stayed in. Our 4 year old loved the nooks and crannies to hide in in this character property. The surrounding countryside is stunning for walks. There is tha added bonus of a first class deli next door , a co-op 100 metres away and three pubs within 400 metres so all very handy.

Tilly's cottage made our choice one of the best decisions we've ever made. The cottage exceeded our expectations in every respect - comfort, location, functionality - it was a joy to spend time there - the only challenge we faced was whether to head off for a Dartmoor walk (and cream tea) or to stay in and relax (the sofa is very addictive!)

We had 2 great evening meals at the White Hart hotel (the staff were really friendly and efficient) and our 15 month old daughter shuffled around the lounge area to her hearts content. Michael Howard's Deli / Butchers counter next door did some good business out of us during our stay and we were very impressed.

We will definitely be recommending Tilly's cottage to family and friends and hope to return very soon.
