The Cake House was the perfect place to celebrate my husbands birthday in between Christmas and New Year. The location is perfect, stunning rural location but the convenience of nearby Okehampton. As mountain bike lovers it was perfect to be able to lock our bikes in the secure shed in between visits to Haldon Forest. Sarah was a brilliant host andRead more on hand to answer any questions we had - thank you! Hide

Lovely cottage. So cosy. Very neat and uncluttered. Comfy sofas and plenty of room for four adults to relax. Beautifully decorated and furnished. The kitchen diner is a good size space for cooking and eating. Well equipped. Very convenient for Okehampton and exploring Dartmoor. Good access to Exeter.
