"We had a lovely week in this very clean and comfortable, well equipped cottage."
An ideal base for exploring Devon. Great dog walks from the door. Would definitely stay here again.
-
"Such a lovely cottage, in a beautiful friendly village."
Beds are super comfortable, would like to purchase those mattresses! Well equipped, fresh air fan a godsend for respiratory issues. Housekeeper is a credit to the cottage, attention to detail shows. Only issues to mention, such a shame back yard area doesn’t get sun and not private. Kitchen tap needs checking as it has a constant drip. Nevertheless, we would love to stay again.

"Lovely cottage and surroundings."
Skaigh Woods are beautiful and you can walk down to the river from there. I would highly recommend this cottage for comfort and position.

"The cottage is lovely & the current owners have clearly refurbished it to a high standard."
The back yard is very secure, but not so good if you're dog needs grass. Sadly we really suffered with ants at the property. We made use of our NT membership in the local area, lots to do &see in the near area.
Hi Rebecca, thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you liked the cottage and apologise for the ants which hopefully didn't detract from your stay. I understand that the housekeeper was informed and offered to come to the property but this was declined as you had already dealt with them. I have now been to the cottage and sealed their access route and can confirm there was no further sign of their presence. David (Owner) Property Owner
