“A lovely comfortable place to stay with outstanding views.”

The owners Gillian and Derek could not be more helpful and are very kind. We would like a whole month to really chill out.

“We found the gallery to be both quiet and a rewarding place to stay.”

Ideally situated to do whatever we felt like doing be that in a Devon or Cornwall for a trip out. Sitting out on the veranda looking at the fields and scenery behind was lovely. The gallery is well equipped with everything you need for ant meal you wish to make. A very nice touch was being left a cream tea by the owner for our arrival. The owner was very nice. Just wanted to add a thank you, we had a great time and look forward to returning sometime in the future.

Michelle March 2024

“A really lovely holiday home, particularly if you have a dog as they are made very welcome.”

..great views, big garden (plus extras such as sunloungers, fire pit etc) very spacious feel, clean and a very comfy bed! The garden and short walks from the door were perfect for my senior doggo but the Pegasus trail is just 5 mins away and another public footpath in the opposite direction if you want to walk for miles! Very well equipped too, will definitely plan a return trip - thanks!

- Michelle, March 2024
Barry February 2024

“Had a lovely stay despite the weather.”

We were very comfortable with the lovely wood burner and luckily had our own logs as only an initial supply is provided. Our dogs enjoyed the very safe garden.

- Barry, February 2024
Wendy January 2024

“We had a lovely stay despite the weather and my husband's terrible cold, we were warm, cosy and comfortable, the large safe garden was a bonus to exercise our two dogs plus the lovely walk on the bridle path down the road.”

Gill and Derek are lovely and Gill went the extra mile bringing us some potatoes for our dinner when she learnt that we had none. Thank you both x

Alfie December 2023

“We booked a week's stay at View The Gallery for New Year 2023.”

When we arrived, the barn was warm & welcoming along with a homemade cream tea from Gill, which was lovely & much needed plus a beautifully decorated Christmas tree! Unfortunately we picked the worst week in history to stay, as we endured sideways rain for the majority of our holiday but that didn't dampen our stay! The facilities were great, being able to store & cook all of the food we wanted, a huge bathroom with more than enough hot water (& lovely towels too!), Smart TVs (which we had to make use of given the weather on some days!), nice secure garden for our dogs to wander around in & private parking. The town is a short drive away with a great choice of supermarkets & shops. The barn is situated in a rural area so was fantastically peaceful with easy access to Dartmoor! Visit Meldon Reservoir, you will not be disappointed! We had our perfect New Year despite the weather & will definitely be back again! Thank you Gill & Derek for your kind hospitality!

- Alfie, December 2023

“As soon as we arrived I knew we were going to have a lovely holiday - and we did!”

It is a wonderful place to recharge your batteries, take in the bewitching views, and explore Devon. The property has everything you need - inside and out. The enclosed garden was a huge success with our dog and us! Gillian and Derek were so approachable and kind. An all-round great holiday - so much so, I booked to go back, while we were still there! Can' wait.

Dana August 2023

“As always we have had a lovely time Gillian and Derek were excellent hosts.”

The weather was very kind to us and we were able to use the garden. The only downside being the loss of our dogs who were always made very welcome. We will return at some time in the future. The cream tea on arrival was much appreciated.

- Dana, August 2023

We have been here several times, all giving brilliant memories. Weather was not good for us this time. Plenty of room and enclosed garden. Gill and Derek are brilliant hosts and made sure everything was what we expected. Will be back. Easy to visit moors and surrounding area's.

“Helpful friendly owners.”

Lovely views enjoyed in good weather, cosy retreat in stormy weather. Spacious for two people . Bit noisy in extremely windy weather but slept really well (with earplugs for the light sleeper) on the gorgeous comfy bed. Big bathroom, shower and bath, lots of towels. Ramp and enclosed garden ideal for our dog. Handy little art studio too! Great base for exploring Dartmoor. Would love to stay here again.

The dogs are always welcome and have a large enclosed garden to play ball in. We visited a number of places and The Gallery was always warm to go back to. We have already booked to go back in June.

- Dana, October 2022
Paula September 2022

“Stunning location.”

Really comfy bed and everything you need in the kitchen. Lovely having the log burner in the evening. Took our 9 month cocker puppy and he absolutely loved having the animals at the end of the garden ( which was a really secure garden for him). The owners Derek and Gill are on hand should you need anything and are really approachable. Would definitely recommend staying here , we had a lovely relaxing time mixed with some fab days out in the Dartmoor National park. Recommend Saunton Beach if you have your fur baby with you.

Jonathan June 2022

“We stayed at View the Gallery for a week while we visited family in Cornwall.”

The weather was awful. Rained every day and windy. The accommodation however was lovely. A real gem of a find. A lovely cream tea and milk, coffee, tea etc.. waiting on arrival. Very well equipped kitchen including dish water and washing machine. The bedroom was large with plenty of storage. The bed was large and very comfy. The bathroom was large with both bath and separate shower. Plenty of towels. We loved the terrace at the front although it was too wet to sit there. The sun room with art equipment was lovely to sit in and look at the view. The enclosed garden for the dog was the best we have had out of all the places we have stayed previously. Including the enclosed dog walking field just a few yards away. Very impressed. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend. Gill and Derek are very welcoming and family.

- Jonathan, June 2022
Dave June 2022

“Enjoyed our stay.”

Dog loved the secure garden. Only downside was the weather but nothing to do with owners. Lovely cream tea awaited us on arrival and milk in fridge as a bonus for a cup of tea. Owners were very accommodating and friendly.

- Dave, June 2022
Wayne April 2022

“This was our second holiday stay at The Gallery and once again was absolutely perfect for a relaxing time enjoying the stunning views and for easy access to lovely days out in the countryside and to the coast.”

The Gallery has everything needed for the perfect getaway and we would highly recommend it and once again we were welcomed with delicious home made cream scones. We will definitely make a further visit. Wayne and Noeleen Burger

L March 2022

“Comfortable and welcoming lodge with beautiful view across to Dartmoor with all that you may need for a relaxing stay.”

We'll equipped, both inside with log burner, great bathroom kitchen and comfortable bed and outside the property with BBQ, chairs, fire pit and enclosed garden for our dog.Central to travel to Dartmoor or both Devon and Cornwall coast but car is essential even to visit the local pub. Friendly and helpful hosts, we will return!

- L, March 2022
Marie January 2022

“This is a lovely cottage with wonderful views, great facilities and fantastic hosts.”

The only thing that didn't quite work for us was the fence as there is a gap at around the 4 foot height. For the vast majority of people with dogs, this wouldn't be a problem, but unfortunately we have a Houdini rescue dog on our hands who was able to climb up and through the gap. It did mean she had to be kept on a long lead all weekend which was a bit of a shame as we were looking forward to her having a run around. But I don't want to criticise the hosts who were amazing and we are well aware that our rescue dogs do need a little more security than most dogs. If the gap in the fence was increased to the top of the fence post, we'd definitely be back. I just wanted to share this incase there is anyone else with a Houdini dog interested in booking the cottage. If your dog is not a climbing escapee artist, then we could not recommend this place enough!

Claire December 2021

“We had a lovely relaxing stay at this cottage.”

Wonderful views across the highest tors in Dartmoor. Great base for exploring NE and NW Dartmoor. Only 45 minutes to Bude on the coast which is worth a visit. The cottage had a delightful cream tea on arrival and the owners were very helpful and friendly. We had lots of wildllife to enjoy including Mr Mole, Sheep, geese, wild rabbits and a horse in the paddock. The cottage had all we needed for a comfortable stay including a log fire which was cosy. The small criticism was that the Christmas tree had a coating on it to stop the needles falling inside the cottage, and unfortunately this gave off a pungent smell like linseed oil in putty. This did cause breathing issues for me as I have asthma. Plus there were a few cobwebs in the rafters. But these are minor issues as the tree was for Christmas time at the cottage and not there all year round. The memory foam mattress takes getting used to as it can cause overheating during rest but still comfortable. There are occasional noises to accept as the property has public toilets on the outside wall of the property for the use of the campers. But overall the holiday experience was great and relaxing and I have already recommended the cottage to friends. Great base for exploring and great to have an enclosed garden to use in the summer plus great for pet dogs to run around in safely . It was great to have everything on the ground floor and the water is really hot for baths plus large bathroom with good shower and toilet. Great to have heated towel rail too. Nice and clean with nice soaps and plenty of towels. Just need to vacuum up the cob webs from the rafters plus check under the leather cushions on the sofa bed to vacuum a bit of dust, but apart from that it was a great cottage

Fantastic location very peaceful ,stunning views easy access to other attractive places super comfortable bed everything provided for a self contained stay very safe and secure large garden for our dog to run around Netflix on the Tv should you want to stay home and watch a movie owners super friendly and helpful providing logs for the log burner which was so cosy and romantic also a cream tea which was very thoughtful and tasty thank you for that both this is a lovely little cabin highly recommend it to anyone wanting a nice holiday with their fur baby we stayed in winter time and still took advantage of the garden furniture and watched the horses and sheep that are literally the other side of the garden fence oh and theres a little art studio with all you need to have a go at being an artist we didn’t manage to fit that in but will next time as a return visit is definitely on the cards for next year

Mandy September 2021

“Lovely friendly kind hosts.”

Fabulous views, comfy well equipped property. Everything you could possibly need. Large secure garden for our dog. Easy safe parking for our car. Lovely to see the sheep every morning, our dog was fascinated and even watched Gill’s training their dog with herding the sheep. Very clever ! Great location, quiet but close to a town. Apparently a previous guest ordered a takeaway pizza which was successfully delivered. Would definitely stay there again and recommend to friends.

Sharon August 2021

“Stunning views and the location is perfect.”

The accommodation was perfect for Mum & myself. Our dog had the time of her life in the secure garden (we were worried about this as she hadn’t been off the lead as she is a rescue dog). We didn’t need to worry as it was totally secure and she loved watching the horses, sheep, geese and rabbits. Gill and Derek were perfect hosts welcoming us with a gorgeous cream tea and nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely recommend The Gallery for anyone travelling to that area and Mum, Wolffie and I will be back!

“The helpfulness and welcome of the cottage owners.”

The welcome for my dog, and the fact that water had been left for her. The scon es, cream, jam and milk on arrival. It was so well equipped! The owners have recently added an extra art room which has lovely views across to Dartmoor.Have recommended it to others.

- Julie, June 2021
Joan June 2021

“The Gallery offers good quality accommodation and lacks nothing in facilities.”

The owners, Gillian & Derek were welcoming and extremely helpful, even gifting us a surprise bottle of wine (in addition to the wonderful cream tea provided) when we explained our late arrival! The garden is dog friendly and safe, something that many property owners state but is actually rarely true, and even the most accomplished escape artists would have difficulty breaking out of this one. All in all well worth the money. Would we return.....yes!

- Joan, June 2021
Jude May 2021

Annette October 2020

“Well we finally made it this time, we were supposed to have had this holiday in March but with one week to go the country was plunged into lockdown.”

Although late we had a lovely 2 week holiday at the fabulous cottage. Our dog loved the large enclosed garden and also loved watching the sheep. The cottage was spotless and we loved the COVID additions of face masks and anti-bacterial wipes. Although the weather wasn’t the best we had a peaceful holiday in the middle of nowhere with fantastic views of Dartmoor. Gill and Derek were great hosts, on hand if needed but left you to your own devices. Gill’s scones were a wonderful surprise on arrival. We loved the comfortable large bed and the fantastic bathroom. We would definitely recommend this property to our friends and family and hope to be back again in the near future. Thank you Gill and Derek from Annette, Andy & Sanna

“A delightful place to stay.”

Lovely light airy accommodation. Great size for two people. Lots of room in sitting area, good outside furniture Big bed, lots of room in bathroom with bath and walk-in shower and basin / toilet area. Wonderful lawned secure fenced garden for the two dogs. Really very well equipped. Very rural which is what we wanted, but “ popping out” for a meal or shopping is not really possible-you need a car to go everywhere. The dogs were made very welcome and we were not charged extra for them. We plan to go back.

Superb super king size bed, VERY comfortable! Amazingly spacious cottage, well worth a visit. Gill (owner) asked if there was any way they could improve things and we suggested they leave a written guide regarding recycling bins etc. - she was very amenable to any suggestions. Give this cottage a visit - it's a central location which is great for exploring the surrounding areas! Highly recommended!

Brian September 2018

“The Gallery is lovely, spacious and well equipped, everything you need in the kitchen, I have been in places where it is basic.”

The garden is really big enough for two dogs to run around and look at the horses and sheep. The view is lovely looking over to Dartmoor (was on the Friday when we got there, thereafter the weather was awful, so Dartmoor covered in cloud and mist) that is British weather. Overall is was great, and Derek and Gill could not be more helpful and the scones, jam and cream delicious. Will go back again.

The property

This unique Devon retreat is off the usual beaten track, with fabulous far reaching views across green meadows where horses peacefully graze, towards Dartmoor.

Situated adjacent to a small caravan site with only 5 pitches, and close to a golf course and fishing site, this cottage offers a quiet bolthole for walkers, cyclists and countryside lovers.

The cottage is detached, spacious and flooded with light.

There are also some superb reminders that this lodge was an art gallery in the past, with stunning local artwork available to purchase if you feel tempted.

The open plan living space with cosy woodburning stove looks out to the moors, as does the superking double bedroom which is sure to give you a comfy nights sleep.

After a day in the countryside, relax on the patio in your little private garden and fire up the barbecue for some local Devon produce.

Close by is the small town of Okehampton with plenty of amenities, including a heritage railway and the Granite Way cycle track & which has the added benefit of being able to hire good quality bikes at Sourton.

Walkers can enjoy the many fantastic routes nearby over Dartmoor National Park.

This is a wonderful escape from the hurly burly.
