  • "We were two families staying at the cottage."

    The property was large with plenty of space and the games room was a great addition and a hit with the kids. It was also nice to have access to the hot tub at no extra cost. Whilst there were two separate showers, they could only really be used one at a time otherwise one was a bit cold... The property was in a good central location to visit Devon and surrounding Somerset. The booking process and access to the cottage was very straightforward and the owners were very helpful with any queries we had. On the whole, would recommend!
