• "It was not easy to find the cottage I think it may help to put a photo of the gate from the precinct to bridges cottage on your website."

  Perfect size for a couple and the area is so friendly. Back again soon

  DavidSep 2024

• "Ideally located cottage just set back from a quaint precinct of independent shops and cafes."

  The cottage was clean, well equipt with a comfortable bed and super quiet. Only a short walk to babbacome downs to the beach or evening coastal walk. We had a very pleasant stay, the only caution is that the parking space is between 2 poles, not a problem for our Vauxhall mokka, but anything bigger and you might be struggling.

• "We had a lovely stay."

  The cottage was the perfect base for exploring Devon. The only problem was the parking at the cottage. Be careful to park in the exact allotted space or you'll receive a fine!

  VanessaJul 2024

• "Nice little cottage in a nice area with very good independent shops and cafes nearby."

  Very quiet at night which is good. My only gripe really is the allocated parking which was very welcome and saved a lot of money on car park fees. It is directly under a large sycamore tree and my car was absolutely covered in bird poo. Very unpleasant and annoying.

• "Bed was to soft for us."

  Water was slow to drain away in Bath room. Car park was overgrown needed cutting back our legs were covered in ant bites.but apart from that everything was very good ideal location. Owner was very good.

• "A cosy, cute cottage for two in a beautiful location."

  Cream tea was a lovely touch. Well thought out interior. A couple of minor things e.g. only one wine glass, we bought a couple and left there, I felt TV’s placed a bit high on walls for my comfort, could just be that I’m short!! Owner, Keith, was very helpful with suggestions on places to visit but there is so much beauty around you, you’re spoilt for choice. I would highly recommend visit to Cockington country park and village.

  High Maria thank you for your nice comments glad you had a great time sory I wasant aware of the broken glass am always on hand to help in any way to make your stay a happy one and have got extra just in case Thank you again kind regards keith Property Owner

• "Looked very nice on arrival noticed the sofa was very grubby and stained the mattress with brown stains soiled before protector was put on and very uncomfortable on one side it dipped."

  The bath was too small had issues trying to get in and out all in all not very happy with our stay I have also taken pictures of the bed etc

  Evening Gerard I’ve not been aware of these issues I no you were very happy and you were telling me of you teaching and working in the local area and on hand to make my guests feel they have a great time First the sofa is only 1 year old from Oakland furniture and we have our sofa professional cleaned and mattresses is only a year old and we do clean them to a high standard Through a company it’s the first time ive been informed that the. Mattress dipped to one side as there made very even I find this strange it is under gaurentee So if there’s a fault am sure they will change it if that’s the case i will look into this I no beds are an individual choice You made a point of the bath being small am left a little confused it’s a large p shape bath that fits inn it’s a 1600 which is the same as the one I have in my house A little unsure of the term small as I find this misleading in the comments All I can do is try to improve and be as good as I can to ensure you have a good experience but some things I carnt change like the size of the bath and I no the weather wasant great and you couldn’t do all the things you wanted all I can do is be the best I can to ensure you have the best time nearly all my guests have a great experience and have a great time in our lovely cottage am always on hand to help kind regards keith Property Owner

• "Lovely short break in this beautiful cottage, in the lovely little village of St Marychurch."

  Lovely touch too from Keith, the owner, who provided cream teas and milk for us, on our arrival.

  SusanneJan 2024

• "Lovely cottage with all you could want, felt at home."

  Very good base for exploring the area, we used buses that saved us finding places to park and money exclant bus sevice. At the cottage we had our own parking space left car there all week.

  RogerOct 2023

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here."

  The location was ideal, plenty of shops nearby. Easy access to bus stops for heading into Torquay and other popular places nearby. Cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen as well as a handy washing machine in the utility room. Lovely snug room with sofa and tv.(slightly high on the wall for size of room) Lovely modern bathroom with plenty of room.Great quality towels provided. Bedroom was big enough and provided storage for all our clothes including hanging space. Lovely comfy bed. Nice fresh clean carpet in several areas. However we did both notice coming down the stairs that there were several carpet grippers poking through on the upright part of a few stairs which we did both catch our heals on unfortunately but it’s something that can easily be resolved.A cosy little outdoor area with bistro set overlooking bigger garden next door with friendly neighbours. Had to be very careful with one of the seats tho as the metal is quite rusty and has started to break up leaving a sharp edge. We managed using a cushion to sit on but just thought it best to mention. Lovely gesture providing us with milk,scones,jam and clotted cream on arrival, they were delicious and we’re now addicted to clotted cream even now we’re back home

• "Excellent property."

  Keith is a brilliant host and couldn’t do enough to accommodate us. The location is spot on within St Marychurch and has a real home from home feeling. Highly recommend it and will be returning shortly.

  Thanks David for the kind words am glad you had a great stay in our cottage and the lovely village of st Mary church kind regards keith Property Owner

• "Short break in this cute little cottage in the centre of St Marychurch where everything is on the doorstep."

  Lovely little town and very friendly. Perfect spot for walking the coast path. Babbacombe Downs a few minutes walk away, very pretty and fabulous sea views. Parking a short walk away which wasn’t a problem for us. Would visit again.

  MartynAug 2023

• "So much more than we expected!"

  Such a beautiful, quirky little cottage where the owner has provided everything including oat milk & GF biscuits for our dietary requirements. The decoration throughout has been really well thought out & has been finished to a high spec. The finishing touches are perfect. They even provided a fleece to put over the settee (we had brought our own) for the dogs. The only thing I can think to improve this property would be a small corner shelf above the bed for my glasses to go on, and that's me being really picky & lazy! We will definitely be back

  AmandaAug 2023

  Due to the shape and size of the property sleeping arrangment a little difficult still it was a change of scenery. Area first class overall enjoyed the week.

  High paul yes thank you for the feed back and we have changed the sleeping arrangement of the bed which as made things much easier we have also provided a fan going forward the area and location is first class as you said we everything on your door step and a great location to explore Torbay and we try to make our guests feel special and enjoy your stay as we no how much the guests look forward to your stay kind regards keith Property Owner

• "Our stay at Bridges Cottage was quite nice."

  The cottage has been renovated to a very high standard, and there is everything that you could possibly need for your stay. The cottage is very well equipped and in the perfect location, with many beautiful surrounding town and villages. If you want a peaceful break , then this is definitely the place to stay. It is very dog friendly, both in the cottage and the town. Although we loved the Cottage itself, there were 4 major negatives for us. Having problems with my right shoulder because of a previous fracture to my collarbone,I found it quite difficult to get in and out of the bed. This is because of how the bed is situated, right up against the wall and window, with no gap to walk down. Also the shower/ bath, which i should say is really nice and looks amazing. We both found it difficult to get in and out of. It is an unusual shape and quite a deep bath. The off road parking is in a very tight space and under quite a large tree. Our car was covered with sticky sap like drops all over the car, which took me 4 hours to clean off our car when we got home. The car park space is quite a distance from the cottage, so dropping the luggage to and fro was quite tiring. Although the cottage itself is an excellent place to stay, clean and comfortable. We felt that there are too many negative points for us to go there again. This is a shame because it was in the perfect location for us to visit the many beautiful places devon has to offer. We would like to thank the owner for the lovely cream tea which was left for us on our arrival.

  High Stephen for your feed back am glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for bringing to my attention about the tree with the sap am now going to provide a cover for cars I found out that it lasts for a several weeks during the summer as for the dropping the luggage of you were more than welcome to drop off out side the cottage to unload then drive round to the parking bay will ask sykes to make that more clear going forward as for the parking distance will let people no it’s 50 meters from the cottage Due to the history of the building were were not allowed to make the bedroom size any larger due to the listed building control but keeps the charm of the cottage if I can be of any help in the future we do have other cottages within torbay kind regards keith and sue Property Owner

  Thank you for a lovely weeks holiday with our 2 dogs, it was a great base to stay very central to visit all the surrounding areas which we enjoyed visiting, The cottage had all the home comforts and wasn’t short of anything, would definitely recommend and thank you for the very kind gesture of leaving welcome scones, clotted cream and jam, along with a doggy bag of biscuits for Tia and Jessie

• "Great week in Bridges Cottage."

  Very comfortable and quiet location. Lots of walks nearby. Close to local shops.

  AngelaApr 2023

• "We had a great time the cottage was beautiful and clean."

  The owner Keith was very helpful. We would highly recommend this holiday cottage for its convenience to all the local businesses and restaurants.

  DavidApr 2023

• "We stayed at Bridges cottage for four weeks while we were starting to look for what would become our new home."

  On the whole the experience was a good one in a very nice area of South Devon.

  JohnMar 2023

• "Great to have a designated car parking space."

  Slightly difficult to find but that was our fault as we couldn’t meet the owner. Cottage is slightly dark but lighting is good I just felt guilty at putting it on. Lovely modern property inside and contains everything you need. Great position just off the town centre but minutes walk from the sea. I would definitely recommend it and if back in the area would stay again.

  KarenNov 2022

• "What a wonderful cottage."

  We had a really great time. The cottage was far better than we could ever have imagined. The welcome package was a very nice touch especially the cream tea. Only one thing, the outside lighting did not seem to work and as a result my wife fell up the concrete step on our last night. But never the less ut is a brilliant cottage a d we will be back for more
