Ursula stayed at Bridge Cottage in June. Here's what she had to say about her time there.

"The house is furnished to a high standard and has a very cozy atmosphere. The house is located next to a small river and is nestled among trees, flowers, and shrubs. We felt very comfortable and were able to explore Dartmoor and Devon in general, with its many parks, beaches, and pretty towns, in just a short drive. Our host, Denise, gave us additional tips and was very helpful. We highly recommend this stay and thank you for your hospitality!"
