Excellent, clean comfy cottage. Beautiful gardens. Great for dogs. A little far for me to walk into Dawlish (as I'm recovering from a foot operation), but I hired a mobility scooter from helping hands. (Great). Normally the walk would be no problem. A great base for access around parts of Devon

Very comfortable cottage in an ideal location within walking distance of the town. There is a stairway down to the lovely garden which may be tricky for disabled or infirm guests however there is a gradual footpath or driveway which can be used. The garden is lovely and well worth spending time in, our dog loved chasing around the numerous trees anRead mored shrubs. There is a local disability shop which dropped off battery scooters for our elderly parents. A very enjoyable and comfortable stay. Hide
