  • "A lovely cottage, that has everything you need and in an ideal area for exploring and walking."

    The host, Debbie, was very helpful and friendly. We loved our few days there and wished we could have stayed longer. We will definitely book again.

  • "A lovely clean and comfortable retreat."

    Lots of walks from the cottage and despite the weather, we went out every day. Great facilities in the cottage and it was warm and cosy. Debbie, the owner, extremely friendly and helpful, particularly as we lost the Wi-Fi and it was because we had inadvertently turned it off! Places to visit with dogs Sidmouth donkey sanctuary, Sidmouth, Beer Quarry, Branscombe, Charmouth beach, Cricket St Thomas, Axminster, all within easy reach of the cottage. Will recommend to friends and family for a great break.

  • "Wonderfully quiet and rural cottage."

    Not very big. Especially the room/kitchen on the small side and the two-seater sofa not really comfortable. Great starting point to discover Devon.

  • "Comfortable cottage in a calm quiet setting."

    My second stay was as good as as the first. Everything was perfect for me and my dogs and the surrounding countryside is beautiful. I am looking forward to my next trip there. Thank you Debbie

  • "Bijou and beautiful."

    A little gem in a peaceful setting. As previous review says little space to store food but no problem for us - good sized fridge and we called into supermarkets to buy fresh alternate days.

  • "Beautifully maintained and modern apartment."

    The bed is super comfy! Also the host is lovely and helpful. It is a great spot to base yourself to explore that corner of the world and there are lovely places around and about. However there is little that can be reached on foot (the flip side being it is good for country rambles, especially with a dog). Because it is a little way out, I agree with others that ask for more food storage space in the kitchen, but I rearranged a little and coped. All in all, heartily recommend Woodstock Retreat.

  • "A lovely little property, perfect for 1 or 2 people and a dog."

    In a very peaceful location but within easy reach of a myriad of places to visit. The owner Debbie is very friendly and very helpful, with some great advice on places to visit and walks in the immediate vicinity of the cottage. The only slight negative is the lack of a storage cupboard in the kitchen but that is only a very minor thing. We stayed for 2 weeks and would be very happy to come back.

  • "Lovely accommodation in a beautiful area."

    Everything we needed, very comfortable. Lots of local walks from the doorstep. Small enclosed garden for Lexi to roam free with access to a large meadow where she could run. Nice welcome from Debbie on arrival but not intrusive for rest of stay. Lovely treats, thank you.

  • "Had a great stay, owner very welcoming, meadow for dogs was excellent, decking area was small but very pleasant to sit out in the evening with a glass wine, although the outside furniture was looking a bit tired and a sweep around with a stiff brush been useful."

    Retreat was lovely, very clean and cosy, everything we needed and well equipped. Nice little extras like a pint of fresh milk, tea, coffee and cookies (yummy) appreciated, We enjoyed our stay and would come back again. 10/10

  • "Just got home from a lovely stay at Woodstock Retreat."

    Met Debbie on arrival and she was very welcoming. She also left information and recommendations of places to visit/restaurants etc, which we found to be helpful. Also a lovely touch of wine and biscuits as a welcome gift. The property was lovely and it was great to have the enclosed outside area for the dog. The bed was very comfortable and all areas of the property were clean. The only area for improvement would be that the sofa is a little small for two people to sit comfortably. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Debbie.
