Lovely little cottage

We spent 4 nights in Gnome Cottage, using it as a base to visit family and other favourite locations in the area. It was beautifully decorated, very comfortable and had everything you would need for a perfect Devon break. We would most certainly stay again on future trips.

Relaxing, enjoyable home from home

Pleasant location, near enough to visit towns of East Devon, but a countryside setting and not too close to civilisation if peace and quiet is what you’re after. Good facilities, nice welcome, outdoor space to use if the weather is kind to you. Kitchen well equipped, very comfy bed.

Superb accommodation

Three nights in probably the best appointed self-catering accommodation we have ever stayed in (and we have stayed in many). Everything was of the highest quality, and in very good taste. Lorraine and Jim have thought of everything that any guests could ever need ... and more. Cannot recommend Gnome Cottage highly enough.
