The Retreat At Waytown Reviews

Louise
A really lovely cottage. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. Great WiFi signal and clear welcome instructions left on the table. We didnt explore the area much as we came for a winter get away and spent most of the weekend by the open fire enjoying the rain outside the window! A really quiet location surrounded by fields and lovely sheep. Access to logs for the fire was easy. Okehampton only a few moments down the road in the car with 4 supermarkets for convenience.
Fiona
A lovely, cosy cottage, we explored all over South Devon, walking on Dartmoor, beaches around Torquay, Buckfast Abbey and Salcombe
Harinder
Comfortable and clean accommodation. Very helpful hosts. Location is great within 1hr of a number of National Trust properties and 25 minutes to Dartmoor National Park. Also served well by Waitrose Supermarket in Okehampton.
Rebecca
This location was great for us. We had a great stay and spend so much time enjoying all that Dartmour has to offer.
Andy
By far the nicest cottage we have stayed in over the years. Spotlessly clean, warm and cosy. Lots to see and do locally and further afield - Lands End is 1hr 50 mins away so a fab day out. Hosts fab and lovely Devon cream tea waiting for us. Highly recommended if you like staying on a farm, which we do.
Michael
I can't recommend this place enough. Perfectly located a few miles NW of Okehampton, but with just the noise of cows, sheep and birds to disturb the silence. Lovely owner, lots of room to park and easy to find. Just perfect!
Nashat
Lovely cottage with wood burner. Great location to get around Devon and even Cornwall. Very welcoming hosts. Had a great time.
Arnoud
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cottage. Everything you need is there. The bedrooms are very spacious and luxuriously furnished. The location is great for different types of excursions. For us it was a pity that you could not go for a walk directly from the cottage because the road next to the farm was not really suitable for walking.
Thomas
The Retreat was a lovely find, a beautiful property in a rural setting but with easy access to amenities. The property was comfortable, clean and well-equipped. Great communication from Helen before and during our stay, and the cream tea was a lovely welcome touch. We are already planning our next visit!
