We had a lovely stay at Daisy cottage. Warm and cosy cottage with a fun play area for children. Great location and would definitely recommend. We would love to come back!
A very peaceful, rural cottage. Daisy cottage was spotlessly clean and well appointed with everything we needed. A friendly but unobtrusive welcome from to the host. Don't be put off by the slightly old fashioned look of the cottage, it is cosy, tranquil and spotless. In addition, everything works just as it should!
the property is set in a rural setting but you are made welcome by Tony and he is usually around to help if needed. The property is very clean and comfy with space to relax and out door space for kids
A fantastic base for our holiday on the south coast. A cosy cottage with great facilities for the children and in a lovely quiet rural setting but also woth half an hour of everywhere we wanted to visit. Our host Tony
Definitely rural and down lots of narrow rough lanes but that is the challenge in parts of Devon. Really good detailed direction from host but if you prefer SatNav just type “Slade Dairy Cottages”. Although a rural setting it is very close to everything including a Tesco supermarket. This was just the peaceful, quiet break we needed
The hosts had thought of everything to make us comfortable. The grandchildren enjoyed viewing cows next door and eating the chickens eggs. East Devon had loads to offer and we had a great time.
We had a three night stay in Daisy Cottage and found everything to be perfect for our needs. It's very warm and cosy inside and the surrounding countryside is beautiful. Perfect for local walks or exploring the Jurassic coast. Tony was very friendly and communication prior and during our stay was excellent. Highly recommend.
We had a great time at Daisy Cottage. There has clearly been a lot of thought put in to the facilities, e.g. there was washing up liquid, dishwasher and washing tablets, tea, coffee and milk left for our use. The play area was a hit with the three year old in our group. The location is great with a Tesco's a 10 minute drive away in Honiton and the coast not that far away either. Thank you for ensuring we had such a lovely stay.
Deep in the Devon countryside yet within easy reach of local villages and town (and only a short drive to the Donkey Sanctuary) this is a well appointed property with all you need for a great holiday. The owners are friendly and welcoming - even the resident pheasant is friendly! All in all a wonderful late Spring holiday. We will certainly want to return.
