The Pictures don’t do the accommodation justice, a lot bigger than we thought and was just what we needed for a week away. Perfect base to explore the local area and the hosts family and all their gorgeous dogs were lovely. Would definitely come back if they would have us :)
Great property, in an excellent location close to Dartmouth. The cottage has everything that you need and is very comfortable. Would love to stay again.
Excellent. Accommodation very high standard, everything that you required was there. Bed extremely comfortable, nice touch with fresh eggs and scones on arrival. Definitely would go back.
Very comfortable accommodation with all you need. Positioned in a great location for exploring the surrounding areas, Dartmouth, Totnes and Dartington. Would love to stay here again.
Our 2nd visit to this superb little gem, excellent location and the owners are lovely people, so quiet and peaceful at night, The bed was so comfy I could of quite easily took it home lol,We stopped just after the Christmas for NYE to avoid the fireworks as our pets hate them, will be returning in the near future
Property was perfect for us in every way, Clean, comfortable, quiet with everything needed. All appliances, beds, linen etc are all good quality which makes for a comfortable stay. The hosts (Margaret & Ron) are very welcoming, and left lots of nice things in the property to start us off, including a Devon cream tea, which was very welcome after a long days travel. Would definately stay again if going to Devon.
Lovely peaceful country location but still within a short car ride to interesting towns and shoreline. Even had a deer come to visit in the garden.Owners on hand if needed.Overall great for a short break to escapeJohn a d Lesley Hooper.
What an amazing stay and such a relaxing location and Ron & Margaret were a breath of fresh air on our UK trip and we loved the Devon sense of humour!Thank you for the lovely cream tea and fresh eggs and the excellent clean accommodation.Lovely to have the Golden Retrievers around too and the Ram ...who has now gone elsewhere and will soon be in with eight sheep, doing what a Ram does best!!We hope to stay again on a future trip!
Lovely barn. Homemade scones lovely touch. Fabulous place for our springer Lily to play.Location great for many beautiful places. Hosts really nice thank you
We really enjoyed our stay .
The house is in a great location and had everything we needed.A very comfortable bed with great bed linens.
The owners were friendly and available if we needed them. We would recommend this home.
Such a lovely cosy and comfortable cottage which met all our needs and couldn't fault it. So peaceful and relaxing . Margaret and Ron the owners are just lovely and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!
It was a beautiful cottage, just what we hoped for. The dogs were also made welcome and we were very grateful for the fan as the weather was baking. The scones, jam and clotted cream, eggs and milk were also very welcome and the owners were delightful, even though one of our dogs was grumpy and barked whenever they were about!!! Couldn't recommend this xottage enough.
The property was well kept and had everything we required. The owners were friendly and welcoming which combined with the location lead to a relaxing break.
The property far exceeded our expectations. The location, cleanliness and decor was second to none. The owners are lovely people and would not hesitate to book again. What a gem of a place😁
