Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests frequently mention the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as immaculate and well-maintained. One isolated comment about cream not being refrigerated suggests a minor oversight but does not detract significantly from the overall high standards observed.
The location is appreciated for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions and walks. Some guests note the narrow access roads and the walk to the pub, which may not suit everyone, but the peaceful setting is generally seen as a positive aspect.
Comfort is a highlight, with guests specifically mentioning comfortable beds and a cosy atmosphere. The cottage's quietness and the quality of sleep are also positively noted, indicating a high level of comfort for guests.
The cottage is well-equipped, with a kitchen that meets guests' needs and additional amenities like a welcome basket. However, there are comments about the lack of a mirror for hair drying and a suggestion for a night light, indicating room for minor improvements.
The welcome basket is frequently mentioned and appreciated, reflecting the owners' thoughtfulness. However, it is important to note that such gestures, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Situated just a mile from the bustling square of the popular Dartmoor town of Chagford in Devon, is this Grade II listed cottage. Beautifully converted, Maple Cottage sits alongside just four other cottages crafted from traditional stone barns in a quiet private courtyard. Stylish and thoroughly well done, the interior space has been carefully designed using light and colour to create a wonderfully relaxing, contemporary retreat. After a day on the moor, there can be nothing nicer than to settle down in front of the crackling wood burning stove with a favourite film and a glass of something cool. On the first floor under the eaves are two tranquil bedrooms perfect for a peaceful night's sleep. At the front of the cottage is a terraced garden where you can sit out and enjoy a relaxed supper or morning coffee. With lovely countryside all around, this is a great area for exploring. Head along the winding lane into Chagford to explore the little shops followed by a pub lunch in a choice of excellent inns. In the summer months, you can take a dip in the town's famous fresh water lido. Dartmoor's vast open spaces are within easy reach; explore on foot, bike or car. Castle Drogo sitting high above the Teign Valley is a National Trust gem and well worth a visit. Further afield, the historic Cathedral town of Exeter and sandy beaches of the South Hams are within an easy drive. Maple Cottage is an idyllic place for enjoying stunning scenery and complete relaxation.
A picturesque town at the northern point of Dartmoor National Park in Devon. Chagford, one of the five Stannary towns of Dartmoor, is small in size but is packed with amenities and things to do. There is a wide range of shops as well as four pubs. Chagford also has more active facilities such as public tennis court and an open-air swimming pool to enjoy at your leisure. It is a town of great history, home to the Three Crowns Hotel which dates back to the 1200's. Chagford is well known for its culture, hosting film, literary and music festivals in the town as well as an annual running race, known as Two Hills Race. Just over 21 miles away is the bustling, beautiful city of Exeter for a different kind of break, definitely worth a visit. The charming, attractive town of Okehampton sits just 12 miles away.

The facilities are all finished to a very high standard, Great communication from the owners who allowed us a a much earlier arrival time. The welcome pack was very thoughtful too. Village is great and the pubs and cafes are all excellent and dog friendly. We would highly recommend Maple Cottage to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway.

The owners assisted before arrival and gave useful recommendations. Maple cottage is well equipped and presented beautifully and set in a courtyard setting about a mile from Chagford. There are plenty of stunning walks from your doorstep even before you start to explore all of Dartmoor. Would thoroughly recommend.
