Wonderful stay
By Miss Ashbourn on 30-Jun-2024Just back from a wonderful stay at Huckworthy, which has clearly been designed with great care. The furnishings and decor made it feel homely, whilst touches like fresh flowers added a sense of luxury. The property is set back from the others so that it feels private and has a lovely enclosed garden. It’s also in great location for exploring Dartmoor, with the coast not far away.
