Petit Boo Reviews

Carol
Great location for visiting lots of interesting places on and beyond Dartmoor. Comfortable, well equipped, Petit Boo was good and had everything we needed.
Michael
Cottage ok good location
Kevin
All excellent, would recommend it.
Marilyn
A very comfortable and extremely clean, well maintained cottage in a great location for exploring the South/East coast of Devon as well as Dartmoor.
Veronica
Although just off the A38, this cottage is quiet and very convenient for visiting the surrounding area. The bed is very comfortable and the property was very clean and well maintained. The garden area is a pretty bonus.
Jackie
This is our second time at Petit Boo, it's perfect for what we need, comfortable, nice spacious lounge/kitchen/diner, central for the places we like to visit
Peter
The owner is friendly and helpful. Well presented, tidy and clean property. Wet room shower is good for those who like them. Location in general is excellent for access to Dartmoor and the South Hams. In particular we found the lack of any distant view from the living room rather limiting, and the proximity of huge, derelict glasshouses is not very cheerful. We were not disturbed by the proximity of the A38.
Peter
Lovely home from home, great location to explore both Dartmoor and the coast.
Jackie
Lovely friendly owner. We were very happy with the accommodation, bed is comfy, nice spacious wet room, large lounge kitchen area, perfect area outside for our pooch to wander round before and after we went out. Good location to get to nice places, we will definitely stay again
David Bernard
We enjoyed our stay greeted and met by owner Michael since our satnav didn't recognise post code. Very quiet though some road noise but not adverse . Nice touches like milk in fridge and biscuits. Central location to suit our visit. Pleasant sitting in the garden advantage of good weather.
Geraldine
A very clean and comfortable accommodation. Well placed for exploring Dartmoor and the surrounding area.
Graham
This is ideal little property for discovering Dartmoor and South Devon. Its in one of those places you would normally drive right pass heading elsewhere, but is well worth stopping and touring locally.
