Sep 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A very cute little cottage for walking holiday The bedrooms were perfect for 3 or 4 friends to share. The kitchen had everything needed. Its almost next to a pub with other lovely pubs within 10 mins drive. It was quiet and peaceful. ##### Kate R. Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 Archival ### 8/10 Good #### Tracey K. Oct 2, 2017 #### Cosy cottage, good for walking. We enjoyed our stay at Scenery Cottage. It is in a lovely quiet spot, perfect for exploring Dartmoor with some great walking from the front door. Wood burner a great bonus. Local pub much recommended. Andy, the owner was very thoughtful, and quick to try and rectify any problems. ##### Tracey K. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2017 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthias N. Sep 4, 2017 #### Wunderschöne Lage, sehr gute Ausstattung, nette Leute und ein excellenter Pub in der Nähe! Das Scenery Cottage ist sehr gut ausgestattet mit kompletter Küche (Spülmaschine, Herd mit Backofen, Toaster, Kühl-/Gefrierschrank, Besteck und Geschirr) - alles was Frau so braucht - incl. eines Waschtrockners im Flur. Die beiden Schlafzimmer oben haben je ein separates Bad (1x mit Dusche, 1x mit extra schöner Badewanne. Im Hauptschlafzimmer steht ein großes Doppelbett (durchgehende Matratze) und die Aussicht ist wunderbar. Im zweiten Zimmer stehen 2 getrennte Betten. Die Luft in Bridford ist sehr gut und man schläft herrlich ruhig. Ein Besuch im Bridford Inn ist unbedingt zu empfehlen, die Küche hervorragend, die vielen Biersorten unheimlich lecker und die Inhaber sehr gastfreundlich. Im Ort kann man auf einem Abenteuerweg durchs Rowdon Valley wandern, durch den Woodland Park spazieren und eine Runde Boule spielen. Das hat sogar unsere Kinder begeistert! Bridford ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für verschiedene Ausflüge: z.B. durch das Naturschutzgebiet Dartmoor (Princetown mit Dartmoor Museeum, Haytor Rocks, Widecombe in the Moor), Strandbesuche in Paignton und Teignmouth, North Cornwall mit Tintagle Castle und Port Isaak, Torquay mit Sightseeing-Bustour, Stadtbummel in Exeter mit Besuch der Kathedrale - mehr als genug lohnende Ziele in der Umgebung. ##### Matthias N.
