    Beautiful setting. So clean and comfortable. Hosts were so lovely. Enjoyed my morning tea in the little courtyard. Great spot for exploring. Couldn't have asked for better!

    The accommodation was faultless and in such a quiet and beautiful setting. A five minute walk and you are on Dartmoor. A thirty minute drive to Bigbury Sands, a lovely dog friendly beach.

Property information

School House is a Victorin former school house, 2 miles from the small Devon town of Ivybridge. The cottage sleeps six people in two bedrooms, a double and a twin with a bathroom. There is a large games room with an optional sofa bed. The sitting room has a wood burning stove and there is a kitchen and dining area. Outside is a table and chairs and the lovely garden to explore. In a peaceful setting on the edge of Dartmoor, School House is a lovely place for a relaxing break in Devon. Note: WiFi is available at the property but there is no mobile phone signalNote: Due to the recent and sustained inclement Dartmoor weather, there are signs of moisture/staining on some interior walls. This is kept on top of each week by the owners and there is no mould present. A dehumidifier is available for you to use if you choose and the situation will improve as we move forward into Spring and drier weather.
