Whether you’re visiting with family, staying with friends or travelling as two couples together, this versatile property offers a truly wonderful stay in the Devonshire countryside. Complete with one king-size bedroom and one zip-and-link king-size bedroom, this two-bed property is a happy home for four holidaymakers staying together.

Cottage it very well maintained and modern equipment of a very high standard. Bedrooms are a good size and comfortable. Mattresses on all beds showed signs of wear and tear and one room did not have hanging facilities such as hooks etc.

This is really a super property from both a decor and cleanliness aspect. A fabulous isolated location accompanied only by cows in the adjacent field.

What a gem of a place. So tranquil and beautiful views. The owners are discreet,but there if you need them. They last 4 mile approach are single car track, but if you want tranquility this is a small price to pay.

We had a great stay here. The property was spotless and well appointed. The view from hot tub was amazing and apart from some farm machinery on odd occasion all you could hear was nature.

Fanuloys from syart to finish Genius to use "what3words" to find cottage as I think would have been tricky to find in the lanes otherwise. Remote, peaceful, wonderful location.
