Tilley’s Cottage is the perfect base for family holidays or friends to get together. Moretonhampstead is an ancient market town situated on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon. It sits in the shelter of hills on three sides and the beautiful Wray Valley on the fourth. Dartmoor is on the door step and no matter which road you take you cannot fail to be impressed by the breathtaking views. The town is about 15 miles from the cathedral city of Exeter and 40 min from the beaches. The town offers visitors’ opportunities for hiking, cycling, and pony trekking, fishing and just relaxing. There are a variety of cafes, pubs, local shops, tea shops and a wonderful Deli. There is also a heated outdoor public swimming pool open during the summer. There are many NT properties close by, one of them being Castle Drogo, only 7 miles & the miniature pony centre for children is only 5 min away. Bovey Castle and Guidleigh Park are very near for a special treat.

The perfect holiday

Sibexandfran Sevenoaks, Kent
Review Submitted: September 23, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We opted for a relaxed holiday in Devon to avoid the UK airports and all the hastle that goes with flying.

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 enjoyed the latter as much as the former. 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 also had some gentle strolls around Moretonhampstead and ended up in one of the cafes or pubs for some well earned refreshment.

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

Superb

Uxbridge London
Review Submitted: March 21, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
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.

Val - Tilley's cottage

Valie North Yorkshire
Review Submitted: March 13, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
VERY cosy and welcoming with everything on the doorstep. We could walk from the door towards Dartmoor and there are numerous well signed walks with the added benefit of being able to dry our wet boots and anoraks in the warm boiler room on our return and then sit by a roaring fire! Ideal for 2 couples with different TV tastes and even an extra sitting area upstairs for reading in peace! 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. We had had concerns about the car beforehand, but it worked well leaving it in the nearby village carpark.

Beautiful Property

Amy1 Chatteris, Cambridgeshire
Review Submitted: March 5, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
We had a fantastic stay in Tilley's Cottage, the cottage itself is extremely clean and very well equipped with the utmost comfort in mind.

It's location is fantastic for exploring Dartmoor and further afield.

The deli next door is an absolute winner, their sausage and bacon sandwiches are a great way to start a day of exploration!

The owners are very friendly and have provided a great information pack within the cottage, along with a contact number for themselves.

We will be recommending Tilley's Cottage to our friends and can't wait to visit again ourselves!
