Customer reviews
Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.
Mrs Grey
Really lovely stay at Dittisham. The cottage is beautifully fitted out, warm, comfortable and has everything you need. We had a wonderful stay over Christmas and would highly recommend. 10 min walk up to the Moor
Mrs. Koch
I can only highly recommend this cottage. It is absolutely comfortable with a lots of beautiful and thoughtful touches (like fresh flowers and lights turned on as we arrived as well as a welcome package) but also extremely clean. We loved to stay here in this beautiful and calm surrounding. Devon with Dartmoor Nationalpark is really special and Dittisham is the best option to explore this area! Yes, the roads are very narrow as some here already mentioned, but it's all worth it!
Mrs Shipway
This was our third visit to Holywell Farm and our second stay in Dittisham. Last time was in 2019 and the accommodation is still as lovely as it was five years ago. This was our first visit in the spring and the gardens and surrounding countryside were full of wild flowers and bursting with bird song. The walks within a stones throw of the barn are just breathtaking and the local pub, The Walkhampton Inn, serves lovely food and very potent cider! The owners are just lovely too, very friendly and accommodating. I’m sure we will be back to savour the delights of this wonderful part of Devon again.
Mrs Leggatt
Absolutely fantastic cottage in a beautiful setting. Excellent facilities . You can walk from the cottage almost immediately and be walking on the moors.
Mrs Swales
I loved my stay at Dittisham, the cottage was lovely and I wouldn’t hesitate to return.
Mrs Leggatt
Lovely cottage and excellent location. Beautifully lit up outside for Christmas and New Year. Takes a few days to get used to the tiny lanes when driving!
Ms Dunne
Welcomed with lots of lovely welcome treats - croissants, jam, slippers etc. A warm, cosy and beautiful cottage offering pure solitude & luxury. Set in a lovely wooded area with surrounding fields and easy walk up to the outstanding moors and tors. We were frequently accompanied by Tess the owners dog who we were sad to say bye bye too. Owners lovely & friendly and left us in peace to enjoy the peace, but there if we needed then. Family came to stay in the other two cottages which were equally outstanding. The best! I’m sure we will all be back.
Mrs Eve
Classic Cottages were great. Lots of communication and very detailed checking in pack for arrival at the cottage.

Miss Bayliss
Beautiful cottage stay! We all had a wonderful time and would happily return. Thanks again
Mrs Nettle
I would highly recommend this cottage. It's perfectly situated for walks on Dartmoor. The cottage itself is beautiful and very cosy and comfy. The outside areas and garden was great as we brought our dog on holiday as well.
Mrs Denning
One of the most comfortable, well equipped and warm cottages we've ever stayed in. In a fantastic position - so many walks from the front door. Lots of very good house and local information and maps provided. Masha, Luke, Nicholas and Tess couldn't have made us more welcome. Thank you!
Mrs Dunmore
Our second visit to this cottage, lovely quiet location, very comfortable and clean, we will be booking again.
Mr Reeson
We had a lovely week in a super location. The cottage fit out is first class, but don't expect to be comfortable in the bath ! A fox staring out our dog through the french window on the first morning was a great wake up !
Mr Phillips
Lovely cottage, lovely area, book it!
Mr Nicholls
Excellent property, probably best we have ever stayed in.
Mr Falcon
Deep, deep in the Devon countryside is a renovated barn that sets a very high standard of comfort.
Miss Armstrong
The cottage was absolutely perfect, luxurious, spotlessly clean and faultless in every single way and Masha and Luke the most delightful, warm and welcoming hosts. I will definitely be planning a return visit to such an idyllic and perfect cottage.
Miss FAIRCLOUGH
Every little detail had been thought of. The house was immaculate with beautiful finishing touches. The hosts were on hand and very friendly. Absolutely loved our stay!
Mr Greig
We had a fantastic stay at Dittisham cottage. The cottage is self was very clean and nicely decorated, with everything we needed. The surroundings are beautiful, with some great views, the pictures don't do it justice! The location is also great, you are on Dartmoor and there are some amazing walks starting from the front door. It is also a short drive to amenities such as pubs, shops and a bakery.
Mr Haroutiunian
Great location and the cottage was to a very good standard and specification.The grounds of the farm are beautiful, and there are some handy footpaths near the property, as well as being a short drive to some amazing parts of the moor.
Mr Pryke
A lovely property one of the best I have found on Dartmoor
Mrs Woolley
Owners thought of everything. Great attention to detail and beautiful throughout.
Mrs Shipway
Dittisham What a beautiful place! We’ve stayed at many Classic Cottages properties over the years and this has to be the best. The barn conversion accommodation has been very sympathetically done to retain all the old features yet bringing it up to a very high modern standard. All the appliances, furniture, fixtures, fittings and kitchen ware are immaculate and the cleaner deserves a medal for cleanliness. Nice touch of wine, fruit, milk, hot croissants and jam as a welcome (in fact we were a little early and the lovely owner brought the hot croissants to us as we were unpacking]. If you love walking, peace and quiet and somewhere off the beaten track you’ll fall in love with this place as we did. Oh and Tess the owner’s dog is a darling too. We had terrible weather but it didn’t spoil our stay in any way. The local pub The Walkhampton Inn is well within walking distance and although it doesn’t look great from the outside the owners, selection of wine/beer/cider and food were all very good. Sad to leave but we hope to come back next year.
MIss Harris
An idyllic, peaceful location, with Dartmoor Park literally on the doorstep. The enclosed fields surrounding the property were great for our dog. The cottage has everything you need, is extremely comfortable and finished to an extremely good standard. From the welcoming croissants and coffee, to local information and walks provided, we couldn't have asked for anything more.
Mrs Douglas
Wonderful holiday cottage in a great location. We hope to return.
Mrs Pigott
We had a lovely first family holiday in this beautiful cottage with our 4 month old and dog. Although close to the owners and other properties on the site, the cottage still felt nice and secluded with its own garden space and lovely views out. The cottage was done to a really high quality so our stay felt quite luxurious. We loved the guest book put together by the owners with lots of helpful info in it from local walks to recommended shops, pubs and activities - it made planning our days so easy! Plus there were reassuring details in there such as the nearest vets. All in all we had an amazing stay making great memories so thanks very much!
Miss Godfrey
Fantastic cottage, cosy but up to date, beautiful. Could have moved in and never left, it was wonderful. Thank you.
Mrs Mackenzie
if you want to get away from it all - this is the place for you. A cosy retreat with great bedding!
Mr Zitz
Classic in style, modern in comfort - very recommendable!
Mrs Simmons
Beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings. Very well equipped, clean and welcoming.
Ms Sellers
This holiday cottage is pure luxury - the pictures don't do it justice - it is roomier than I imagined. The cottage was more than a home from home. The owners are warm friendly and welcoming. They provided a packed fruit bowl , red wine and artisan cheeses. There was even warm home cooked fresh bread awaiting us. We stayed over christmas and there was a christmas tree and fairy lights arranged for us. We didn't want for anything and had a truly marvellous stay. Location is stunning and I highly recommend a stay there.
Mrs Harvey
Location close to villages and Tavistock for all the visitor may need but also the ability to walk direct from the property out onto Dartmoor A superb luxurious property in a delightful location. A great deal of thought provided by the owners when planning the facilities provided including internal fixtures, fittings and décor . Warm friendly welcome. Would definitely hope to return.
Mr Crook
We had a short-break in Autumn half-term. This is a lovely, comfortable house and the owners made us feel very welcome. The house is well-equipped for a sunny day or for staying in. It was great to walk out of the door and up onto the edge of Dartmoor, walking along the path of the disused quarry railway and admiring the view. We enjoyed trips to Tavistock, Princetown, Lydford Gorge and (on our way home) to Castle Drogo.
Mr Owen
Beautifully furnished, very comfortable cottage with everything you need.
Mrs Jackson
The cottage has been beautifully renovated and the finish and furnishings are all of high quality. The owners are very friendly and always happy to help. A beautiful spot for an 'away from it all' break.
Mr Westerdijk
Beautiful place and surroundings. Cottage very well presented and maintained and equipped, super clean and just lovely. Owners delightful and helpful and welcoming. Would definitely go again. Ais and Arjen Beautifully appointed and well equipped and comfortable, infomation provided by the owners excellent. Great wifi connection. Stunning rural location but accessible to really lovely towns and beaches, lots to do.
Mrs Hammersley
Great proximity to Tavistock. The owners were lovely and really went over and above. On arrival we had artisan cheese, wine, home made cookies, duck eggs from the farm and beautiful fresh flowers. The cottage is in a wonderful, secluded spot with breathtaking scenery and fabulous walks. The new interior was utterly charming (and super clean!). Our favourite cottage stay in years. We loved the gorgeous farm dog too.
Miss Medgett
Absolute luxury. Have had many holidays with Classic, but this particular location and owners were exceptional. Luke and Masha have done a fantastic job at creating beautiful interiors and ensuring everything you require is to hand in order for you to enjoy your holiday. Hope to return for another break at Dittisham later in the year.
Mrs Van Wel
The owners created a beautiful, quiet setting where every cottage has it's own private terrace/garden. They were also very friendly and helpful. The cottage is lovely furnished and very comfortable. We've had a great stay and would certainly recommend this cottage to others.
