Exceptional Home in Beautiful Dartmoor

The Old Post House is every bit as charming and comfortable as described. Beautifully restored to a high standard with everything we needed for our 4-day stay. The arrangement of bedrooms and bathrooms provided good privacy for two couples. The beds were comfortable and the high quality linens and towels were a bonus. Linzi was very responsive and helpful. The Peter Tavy Pub has excellent food and is an easy walk from the cottage. Easy access to various sites on Dartmoor, and nearby Tavistock is a lovely town with a daily market and many shops. Country Cheeses is worth a stop. We enjoyed relaxing in this very peaceful cottage. I highly recommend The Old Post House and only wish we could have stayed longer.
