"Lovely break, peaceful, relaxing, lovely property, comfy beds, great sleep, friendly and helpful hosts and good WiFi "

"Perfect location and amenities, Sally was a fantastic host. Was traveling alone for work but the cottage would have equally suited a family break. "

"We stayed at Whitelady House as an extended family (three generations) over the Christmas period in 2025. This was our fourth time at Whitelady House, and we've been visiting on and off since 2012. Firstly, this is a fabulous location and house for exploring all that Dartmoor has to offer, and although many places were closed over Christmas, there was still plenty to do in the area. With Lydford Gorge literally outside the back door, the dogs had plenty of space to explore besides the extensive garden area. The house itself is old, and with that comes a few quirks, including two sets of stairs, which presented a unique challenge for us with a 16-month-old toddler and necessitated the use of many stair gates. But having two lounge areas, along with the kitchen, meant there was always plenty of space for people to find peace. Overall, the house was warm and inviting, especially after a day out in the cold. The only downside is the very slow internet connectivity. If you need to maintain access to the broader world, this can be a limitation. But if you're planning to get away from it all, then a slow-to-almost nonexistent internet connection is the right choice. Overall, although this is expensive, especially for Christmas, we thought it was well worth it to get the whole family together. Ruth (the host) is excellent and couldn't have been more helpful."
