A beautifully furnished and well-equipped cottage, close to the moors and within an hour's drive to the north Devon coast. The owner was communicative, welcoming and helpful, and provided additional provisions which were much appreciated.

The cottage was absolutely beautiful. It was luxurious and extremely well equipped, the shower was perfect, there wasn't a single thing missing from the kitchen in terms of utensils and cooking tools. The location was great, a short walk through the little estate, over the bridge and into town. We visited two cafes and had excellent coffee and cakeRead more, and enjoyed walking around the high street. We visited Tarr Steps and Valley of Rocks and the scenery was breathtaking. All in all we couldn't fault our holiday. Highly recommend. Hide

The EV charger was a great convenience, especially with the nearest public ones located in Tiverton. The locals were incredibly friendly, and we had two wonderful meals at Spelt in town. Hide

Modern, newly built, so everything was new and fine. Very warm welcome with some nice things like fresh eggs, regional apple juice and so on. For non-british guests the separation of the waste might be explained a little bit clearer, to enable helping to separate correctly. Equipment was exceptional, the best we ever had.
