The cabin is as beautiful as the photos, and lived up to our hopes. The wild flower meadow is gorgeous, and we enjoyed watching the wildlife right outside the window. The bed is comfortable and the cabin is immaculate, with everything you could wish for to make for a pleasant and relaxing stay.

Well what can I say about our stay.. nothing but positives. Firstly, how wonderful to meet Martin & Jakki. I had the pleasure of hearing about their journey to build the cabin. As individuals and a couple they are fantastic, lovely people, they really shine. All their efforts, time, planning, energy, blood, sweat and (probably) tears have paid off.Read more They should be extremely proud of the cabin; it is not only aesthetically beautiful, but super cosy, comfortable, clean, and all the equipment you need. The attention to detail is wonderful and they have done a fantastic job. Whether you have a dog or not, I would highly recommend a stay here, but Place Farm Cabin is very canine friendly if you are travelling with a furry companion. Great location for exploring the beautiful Dartmoor National park and being in nature, and Devon in general, but close to amenities. I had a truly restorative break, Im so grateful. Anything I needed / questions, they were super responsive and helpful. Id only been there a couple of hours when I enquired if I could stay longer; unfortunately not this time, as there were new guests arriving on my departure. Had I been able to stay an additional night or two; no hesitation. I was sad to leave, but Im already looking at the calendar to see when I can return. Martin & Jakki you have gone above and beyond, you deserve all the good reviews & positive things coming your way. Nothing but good vibes and a BIG THANK YOU. Look forward to seeing you both soon, Bindi The Big Dog & Hannah Hide
