A haven of peace Where silence abounds All that is heard Are Nature’s own sounds Designed by pure heart At one with the land In joy of just being Burn Cottage doth stand Charming serene In a world of its own In communion with Nature Life’s true joys are known Mary Hession

Burn Cottage.....A luxury B&B situated in Dartmoor national park which offers superb accommodation and food in amazing surroundings, whilst still being well placed to take advantage of everything Devon has to offer. ...Having been working in Devon regularly for some time my usual B&B only a couple of miles from Burn Cottage was closed for refurbishment, forcing me to look for another local B&B. I found Burn Cottage online and after one visit it became my regular accommodation not only for work but also for pleasure. The accommodation, service, location and attention to detail (such as fruit, chocolates and champagne in the room) far surpass any other B&B/Hotel I have stayed at. The main house has three well proportioned rooms offering both twin and double configurations and there is a fantastic separate self catering apartment. I have stayed many times in the double room and once over new- year in the self catering apartment. All the beds have very comfortable mattresses (I have now got the same one for my bed at home) and both the double room and the apartment have roll top baths with separate showers. As mentioned earlier: champagne, fruit, water and chocolates are all in the room for your arrival and in the self catering apartment you also get a home cooked cake on arrival! The self catering apartment has a double bedroom, bathroom, living space (with extra put-me-up beds) and outside space with BBQ. The apartment is fully equipped with all cooking utensils, TV, DVD player and board games. Breakfast is one of my favourite parts to the ’Burn Cottage Experience’. Starting with cereal, warm croissant, toast, yoghurt.....followed by an enormous (locally sourced) cooked breakfast. Definitely not to be missed even if for only one of the days you stay. The whole place is situated in around six acres of private land with a large pond and Lots of wild flowers. Views from the window are out onto the moors with awesome sunrises and sunsets. The house and apartment are situated on the moor and therefore no neighbours, pubs or roads to keep you awake, just the occasional pony! Locally there are lots of great places to see and to eat. One of the most stunning places is Lydford Gorge, the highest natural waterfall in the UK. This happens to be just across the road within 10 minute walking distance of the house. The Eden project is only a 45 minute drive away and the local towns such as Tavistock are very picturesque. At new- year we took a walk to Brentor church late in the afternoon. The walk takes around an hour each way but is well worth the effort. The church is small and is situated on the top of a steep hill with stunning 360 degree views of Dartmoor and Brentor. If you are looking for a luxury getaway in what arguably has to be one of the nicest places in the UK then this is the perfect place. Whether it’s for business, honeymoon, with friends or just an exploring base, there is something here for everyone. I have personally stayed for business, with my girlfriend and also with friends over new year. Every time the standard of food and accommodation has been fantastic and we have all had a great time.
