Had a truly wonderful few days and apart from a flickering light in the second bedroom couldn't fauklt the accomodation. Have no reservations in recommedning it
Kentisbeare is a quiet village and easy accessible from the M5. A great base to explore both north and south Devon and all its glory. Glympsters cottage is clean, comfortable and cosy. Just the thing for getting back to after a long days walking or visiting the beach. The cottage is well equipped and has everything you should want and need. Lovely place - will definitely go back!
