Rock View Cottage Reviews

Louis - Apr 2025
Property although small was fine for two people,every thing in the cottage for our week stay was there including very generous welcome pack. The hot tub was great clean and up to temp on our arrival and ready for use,which has not been the case on lots of other lodges weve used over the years.I found the whole week very relaxing we both slept really well,the walks from the lodge were fantastic you could spend days walking through the forest and exploring old mine works absolute beautiful part of the country.we would certainly consider going back to this lodge in the future both hosts are obviously very efficient at what they do full marks.
Amanda - Feb 2025
This was our 3rd visit to this little haven. Tucked away on the edge of the Tamar Trails where you will find acres of woodland walks right on your doorstep you are able to totally immerse yourself in nature and have a reset from life back home.The cottage is beautiful and so warm with underfloor heating in every room. The hot tub is definitely the icing on the cake and we spent every evening relaxing under the starry skies.If you are looking for total chill out relaxation reading a book in front of the log burner then look no further, however if you love to walk in the woods or explore the Dartmoor national park then this is the absolute perfect place for you too.Thank you Nick & Karen for your hospitality and hopefully we will see you again next year!
Ciara - Dec 2024
The cottage was very well equipped and used of a dishwasher was really nice. Well stocked with wood and well heated. Very kind to provide hot drinks dry goods and milk on arrival. The cottage was very clean and in good working order. Games and maps provided too. Hot tub was a lovely addition to the property. Useful cottage guides with all the recommended local amenities and walks. Help with finding the property as needed and just over the road if there are any issues. Feels secluded but shops and town only a 10 minute drive. Highly recommend this place and would happily come again.
ia - Oct 2024
We had a wonderful time at Rock View Cottage. Spotlessly clean, a very comfortable bed. Hot tub was a lovely bonus. It was nice to light the woodburner and have a cosy night. Prefect place to escape and relax. We enjoyed the woodpecker, the cheeky squirrel and so many birds enjoy the bird feeder, nice to just sit and watch nature at its best.

The property was exceptional. Surroundings were idyllic and very peaceful. Everything was outstanding. Kitchen fully equipped and the extras were very much appreciated. The bed was so comfy and big.

Ashley - May 2024
What a wonderful place to stay. Our holiday was perfect, the cottage was clean and cared for to a very high standard and extremely well equipped. It's in a beautiful location, quiet and very relaxing. The hot tub was a lovely touch, we used it every evening. We were made to feel very welcome, thank you Nick and Karen. The flowers, prosecco, chocolate, milk etc were really nice as little extras. We would highly recommend the cottage and hope to return, definitely 1010.Thank you Jules and Ash
Paul - May 2024
Covers for outside chairs. When it stops raining and you want to sit outside you need to wait for the chairs to dry as they are wood.
Liz - May 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay and really didn't want to leave. The cottage was perfect, super clean and comfortable. Location was very peaceful. The hot tub was the best we have been in on a holiday, it was so good. Highly recommend this cottage.
il - Apr 2024
We had a lovely stay at Rock View Cottage. It was the perfect getaway. Nick welcomed us when we arrived and answered any questions we had. The accommodation was of a very high standard, with flowers, treats and a lovely welcome card, this property was perfect for two. The property is surrounded by trees and to be able to have a hot tub that you could relax in and enjoy the natural surroundings was ideal. The property is in an ideal position with the Tamar trails virtually on your doorstep and it is a short drive into Tavistock. We did not want to come home and would recommend a stay here.
Michael - Apr 2024
This is the 3rd time we have stayed here and we loved every minute of our stay. Our hosts were lovely and the cottage was very cosy.
Linda - Apr 2024
Great little cottage, perfect for a quiet relaxing stay. Right in the middle of the Tamar trails, perfect for walking or cycling. we will be back.
Steve - Mar 2024
The owners were brilliant. They were friendly and attentive but left you to enjoy the holiday. The cottage was superb and in a wonderful woodland setting. Seeing a deer from the hot tub was amazing as were the starry skys at night. Would highly recommend.
e - Mar 2024
On arriving at Rock View cottage we were extremely impressed by the standard of the renovations and the quality of the whole thing. We came for peace, tranquility, wildlife and walks and we had them all in abundance. And to top it all we had the comfiest bed we have ever slept in. Rock View cottage is everything you could wish for and has everything you need. Nick,the owner, was lovely and extremely helpful. The only thing that let us down was the typical English weather! The only word to describe our week is....perfect. Thank you Nick for making us so welcome.We will be back.
tyn - Sep 2023
Wonderful little cottage in a fantastic tranquil setting. We had a great holiday and didn't want to leave.
Jason - Aug 2023
We absolutely loved our stay at Rock View Cottage. The location is really secluded and if you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place to go. Literally all you can hear is the birds. Lots of walks right on your door step, and a massive hot tub big enough for 6.... So with just two of us was very luxurious. The cottage itself is very well equipped with everything you could need, bed is huge and really comfortable. The only negative I'll say is the seating whilst modern and new... Were not the most comfortable.. they have low backs, so you cant lay out. But that is a minor thing and didn't impact our holiday as we often sat outside, or were in the hot tub. In terms of the location you are far enough removed to have a quiet woodland holiday, but a 20 minute drive will take you into Plymouth, or Cornwall, so close enough for the town's. We ate out a couple of times horn of plenty is a must try but mostly cooked at the cottage. The kitchen is fully fitted with every kind of potpan you could need. Overall this gets a 5 from us and we will be looking to book again next year.
y-anne - Jul 2023
Nick the host was very friendly and helpful. The cottage had everything you could possibly need and very, very comfortable. A very quiet and peaceful location. We highly recommend Rock View Cottage and would definitely return. Thank you Nick and Karen
Keith - Jun 2023
We had an extremely relaxing holiday. It was the perfect mix of being tucked away enough to enjoy peace and quite, but close enough to everything we wanted to do.The cottage is absolutely charming with a very comfortable bed and luxurious bathroom. We decided to have our evening meal at the cottage each day and the kitchen had everything we needed. There are some walking trails at the end of the path to do. The hot tub was much appreciated after that.The cottage is well shaded, so even in the hot weather it was nice and cool.Oh, and Cafe Liason in Tavistok makes a great pitstop for breakfast I would wholeheartedly recommend this property.
