"The cottage is spacious and comfortable."
It is extremely well equipped. There was plenty of hot water and heating - if needed. The facilities are fantastic and it it set in an idyllic location - perfect for walking. Kingsbridge is central to South Devon and has sufficient independent shops, pubs and eateries. A huge thank you to the hosts.

"We had a lovely week in this rural retreat and were made so welcome by the owners."
The cottage is on a working farm so an idyllic setting. There is everything you need in terms of equipment and comfortable furniture and bed. Flowers and cream tea on arrival were a nice touch to our welcome. Kingsbridge is nearby and has a lovely walk by the water with interesting shops and supermarkets for provisions. Ideal base for trips to Dartmouth Salcombe Torcross and Blackpool Sands without too much driving. We hope to visit again in the future. Thank you

"We've stayed at Mixit Cottage at least 9 times over the years and it never disappoints."
It's located in an ideal position to explore the South Hams.

"We had a wonderful two weeks in Kingsbridge, and Mixit cottage was the perfect place to stay, clean, warm and cosy."
A lovely warm welcome from Berni and Johnathan, and a very enjoyable cream tea. It was so nice to have the swimming pool on site, made good use of it. Thank you both so much. Bob & Jan (Scarborough)

"Beautiful cotrage, lovely location, great hosts"

"Such a beautiful stay at Mixit Cottage."
Was there to celebrate my birthday but it also turned out to be a surprise engagement holiday as well! Which made the stay all the more magical. Beni and Jonathan are lovely hosts. We had lovely cream teas and flowers on arrival and was also gifted a lovely bottle of wine to celebrate the engagement too which we were very much appreciative of. The cottage itself was really clean, cosy, romantic and warm. We didn't want to leave and felt blue when we got home. The swimming pool was lovely to use and we also had fun with the ping pong and pool table. It's very close to the Kingsbridge town centre so very convenient for shops, cafes and takeaways/restaurants. Bed was super comfortable, bathroom was lovely. We loved our stay so much we've recommended the cottage and Fixit to our family, who are now staying for Easter week. Definitely would love to stay again whenever we come down to South Devon next!

Spotlessly clean, lovely hosts, will go back ourselves and highly recommend to others

"We were met by the owner who was very friendly also she had left us fresh ..."
We were met by the owner who was very friendly also she had left us fresh flowers and a cream tea - access was a bit of fun as it was down a narrow lane and with all the rain it was a bit soggy but cannot fault this property and will be going back
-
"Had a lovely stay and the proprietor was very welcoming."
Accommodation was perfect and the use of the private pool was a great bonus, especially as the weather wasn't fabulous. Easy parking with plenty of room. Accessed by a country lane which was very pleasant to walk and easily manageable into Kingsbridge itself but not for those who can't walk far. Lots of amenities so food shopping was not an issue and enough coffee shops and pubs to choose from. Central for travelling and there was a bus station in the town where the buses took us to many of the large towns like Plymouth and Dartmouth. Would definitely recommend.
-

We had a brilliant holiday.Thank you Beni and Jonathan.
-
"We love this holiday accommodation."
The cottage provides all our needs and the swimming pool is a great additional feature. We never get tired of the South Hams. It's a great area to visit and the views from country and coastal walks are amazing. It's our home from home, which we have visited on a number of annual occasions. So much so, we have booked again for 2024
-
"Arrived to a warm welcome, cream tea and flowers left by beni and Jonathan."
Beautiful cottage and private seating area...... swimming pool a bonus, which I enjoyed. Surroundings and area very quiet and relaxing. We will book again
-
"We like it so much we usually book another week while we are here!"
This was our 6th visit and we have 2 more booked! Beni and Jonathan are very friendly and welcoming. The cottage is in a great location; a pleasant walk into Kingsbridge. It is also a comfortable base from which to explore the South Hans. Love it!
-
"Wonderful cottage for 2."
Lovely sitting out area is a real sun trap. Bed so comfortable slept so well. A swim each morning was an extra treat. Cream tea and flowers when we arrived was an unexpected touch. Beni and Jonathon very welcoming and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend staying here. The Hen house beauty centre on site great had a really good manicure (book well ahead) with Katherine
-
"Mixit Cottage is a very comfortable modern holiday home in a quiet and peaceful location with plenty of health and beauty facilities in the neighbouring buildings."
We were greeted with a large vase of flowers and Devon cream tea on arrival and Berni pop in to check we settled in OK all in all a very peaceful stay, would definitely recommend it and will hopefully return before to long.
-
"A haven where we could relax and unwind in the comfort of the cottage."
In wonderful surroundings the cottage was perfect for the two of us with all the facilities we could expect. The pool was a wonderful extra . The hosts were lovely and helpful and made us most welcome. The location is ideal for discovering the South Hams
-
"We had a wonderful stay."
The cottage was everything and more than we were hoping for. A lovely welcome from Beni and Jonathan immediately made us feel at home. We were looking for a peaceful break and found just that. Beautiful, tranquil surroundings, definitely recharged our batteries. The cottage was warm, beautifully furnished and had everything we needed. A real home from home. The bed was extra comfortable and we both slept really well in this little haven! We were able to visit many nearby places, Bigbury On Sea being our favourite. The pool at the cottage was a lovely bonus and allowed us to enjoy lots of swimming. We will be back! Thank you!
-
"Mixit Cottage is a well equipped and delightful cottage, quiet yet an easy walk into Kingsbridge."
It is a great location for exploring the South Hams and there is plenty to see, even in January. The swimming pool was very good. I did not try out the Hen House Health Spa but I did get a hair cut on site. Beni and Jonathan are very welcoming and happy to natter about farming and their herd of Belgian Blues.
-
"Our stay was perfect, the cottage is a lovely peaceful area, semi remote and close to local amenities."
Also with a short drive to many locations in land and on the coast. The accommodation was lovely and we enoyed the log burner on the colder nights. It was a nice surprise to have roses and cream tea to welcome our arrival. We would definitely look forward to staying at the Mixit Cottage again.
-
"Lovely cottage and owners, very relaxing stay."
I'm sure we will return. Many thanks
-

"Beni and Jonathan the owners of Mixit Cottage were wonderful hosts."
They provided a cream tea, fresh eggs and flowers for us on our arrival, which was a thoughtful and lovely surprise. The cottage was beautiful, with a swimming pool available for the guests of their two cottages and other other facilities were available. The people from the local area were all lovely and very welcoming and we enjoyed some delicious food in the restaurants of Kingsbridge and Salcombe. I can highly recommend this for a holiday venue and we look forward to returning in the future.

"A great stay in a very comfortable cottage Cream tea and flowers the icing on the cake"
-
"Mixit cottage is a fantastic base from which to explore the South Hams area."
Owners Beni and Jonathon are very friendly and welcoming. The cottage is a perfect home from home. We enjoyed an evening stroll around the 3 fishing lakes and it is within easy reach of the South West coastal path which we always enjoy walking. Beni has made the courtyard garden really attractive with shelter and pots, a lovely spot to enjoy the afternoon sun. The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable, we had a lovely week...so much so we have already booked 2 more visits. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
-

"Our hosts were amazing people and made our holiday special."
-
"We had a wonderful stay in Mixit Cottage."
The apartment was immaculate, cosy and warm and very well kitted out. It had everything we needed and Beni and Jonathan couldn't have been more helpful. Fresh flowers and a Devon Cream Tea awaited our arrival - it was perfect. The heated indoor swimming pool and table tennis table were an added bonus.
-
"The cottage was excellent."
Very nice touch to receive a cr.eam tea and fresh roses in the cottage. Excellent location, walk into Kingsbridge only about a mile away. Great swimming pool and gym.
-
"Great base for the local sights."
The swimming pool (never met anyone else) was a real bonus and my husband used the gym. Mixit Cottage was extremely well equipped , so quiet, clean, and our private sun terrace was perfect for sundowners! Great too to be able to park right outside the property. It was doable as a walk into Kingsbridge but longer than we expected and it was easier/better to take the car . Supermarkets were 5 min drive away. Beni and Johnathan made us very welcome.... loved our cream tea on arrival! They were happy to help us with any queries. Definitely worth a return visit !
-
"Mixit Cottage was perfect!"
It is in a very peaceful location, only a short distance out of Kingsbridge and had everything we needed for our week away. We especially liked the sunny patio area for evening bbqs and the layout of the cottage - living area upstairs and spacious bedroom and bathroom downstairs. The owners were very friendly, happy to answer our questions and welcoming us with a yummy cream tea. We enjoyed playing table tennis and pool but we didn’t make use of the swimming pool, as the weather was too good! Kingsbridge is in a good location for driving in various directions and has two supermarkets, as well as many other shops. We hope to return!
-
"Great cottage, lots of character in a quiet area, ideal to get away from it all whilst still being only a few minutes from Kingsbridge."
-
"This was our second visit to Mixit Cottage and it was as good as the first visit."
Just outside the town in a small deep valley the cottage is a part of several farm buildings in a beautiful setting. It is quite unusual in some ways as there is a swimming pool available plus various spa facilities based in part of the farm that you can access. We just enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere , there was an area to sit outside in a lovely sun spot and have our meals . The whole outside area is full of beautiful fragrant flowers. It is a real little gem.
-
"Very comfortable accommodation for two in the lovely Devon countryside yet only a ten minute walk along a leafy lane to Kingsbridge ."
Personal touches of cream tea on arrival and flowers. Plus a few paces away from what seemed like our very own private indoor pool. Kingsbridge a delight, a wealth of independent shops and would recommend a visit to the Community garden at the top of Fore Street.
-

Lovely experience

Hosts kept apologising but it was not necessary and outside their control.
-
"The cottage was perfect for a couple or individual seeking peace and quite while still close to shops and bars, the fishing lakes were perfect with plenty of good sized fish to catch, the pool was a lovely temperature."
the owners were very nice people and were available if needed, all in all a great holiday.

The busy little town of Kingsbridge lies at the head of a marine estuary in the attractive South Hams area of South Devon. Kingsbridge is home to a range of lovely independent shops and coffee shops, as well as a 3-screen cinema and an award-winning pub. During the summer season there are estuary excursions by ferry to Salcombe which lies on the banks of the Kingsbridge Estuary, making it one of the prettiest towns in South Devon. Salcombe is famous for its outstanding coastal views, rolling countryside, and is a watersports paradise for kayaking, surfing, paddle boarding and powerboating. It is packed with boutique shops, high street brands and independent producers, restaurants serving freshly caught seafood, and Salcombe Gin and Ice cream! Kingsbridge is perfectly located as a base to enjoy the abundant wildlife in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which also forms part of the South Devon Heritage Coast. Visitors can take a walk along the Kingsbridge Quay, wander through the narrow alleys off Fore Street or visit the Shambles in Totnes, an Elizabethan market arcade. Around the South Hams area there are picturesque ports, such as Dartmouth and Salcombe, together with sandy beaches at Blackpool Sands near Stoke Fleming and the two sandy beaches at Thurlestone. There are a host of small attractive villages in South Hams offering interesting pubs, local farm produce shops and pretty rows of cottages, plus further afield the waterfront city of Plymouth is a vibrant centre, housing the National Marine Aquarium, historic Barbican Quay and plenty of night life, including theatres, restaurants and bars.
