Lovely house with everything you could need for a happy and comfortable stay. Plenty of room for everyone and the cinema room and pool table were a particular hit! Oxenham Arms in the village was a lovely venue for a Christmas meal.

Could not fault a single thing about this beautiful house. It had everything we needed and more! Cinema room for watching Euros and Wimbledon, sitting around and dipping in the pool made us feel like we were abroad! Fantastic walks from the door for all abilities. The pubs in the village were great and the small shop very well stocked. The gardens are amazing and the beds were so comfy. Would highly recommend.

Townend has pretty much everything required from a holiday cottage.. It's very spacious, huge bedrooms and bathrooms all over the place, big garden and pool. Beautiful views of the moors of Dartmoor rising over the village and visible from every room. Excellent shop (lovely granary bread) just down the road and two excellent pubs only a short stroll away, both with friendly cats to greet us. Wonderful!!

We enjoyed our stay in Townend.. The house was warm and comfortable with good facilities except for the lack of large casserole dishes and a hot plate that defeated all our attempts to use it because of complicated procedures required. The Aga was fine. Townend is a good place to stay as it a short journey to many interesting places.The owner and dog were friendly and helpful. We would stay there again.

Just come back from a fantastic weeks holiday at Townend, the house had everything we wanted and more.. Our gransons loved the fact they could go upstairs to the cinema room to watch a film or play pool and then to the outside pool (which they did every day !! ). The owner Mike was on hand to help with anything as he is very approachable and accommodating. We had three families who all said that they would go back there tomorrow. Our youngest grandson cried on his first night as he wanted to stay at Townend for ever! .

The warm welcome.. The beautifully furnished house with all that is needed for a family holiday, rain or shine. Outdoors the pool, the football pitch, the cricket pitch, the barbecue; indoors the many games, the cinema, rowing machine etc etc. Much thought had been given to satisfy all tastes and interests. Lots of space! Brilliant!

Townsend exceeded expectations in terms of space, facilities and comfort.. As a base for a multi-generational holiday, I will be recommending it to friends.

We have been meeting as a family walking group for over 30 years.. This was a 1st trip to Dartmoor for most and exceeded everyones expectations. The holiday cottage was like an Aladdins cave. The kitchen and dining room was great for everyone to get together for a meal and there was enough room in the house to have your own space. Even the weather was perfect!!!

Lovely house that made a wonderful holiday even better. They really had thought of everything. From the playroom to the cinema room, huge garden and swimming pool, all ages were catered for. Good shop, pub and resturant nearby in the village. Would definately recommend.
