Step inside this lavish property and you can’t help but notice the elegant decor. You’ll be greeted by a chic lounge/kitchen/diner. Take a moment to make yourself at home by the wood burner-effect electric fire in the lounge area, or take a little time to stretch out on a sun lounger in the garden. Alternatively, head to the shared play barn for a game of pool or table tennis. When it’s time to eat, make your way to the kitchen area to put your culinary skills to the test, and then get everyone together to share a sociable dinner at the stylish dining table.

After dinner, watch the stars come out from the private hot tub, or head back to the lounge to slip onto a sofa and chill out in front of the Smart TV. At the end of the day, you’ll find three beautifully styled bedrooms to choose from.

A short walk through the estate boasts an amazing sunset view. The walk into Westward Ho is not easy if you arent fit so bear that in mind, especially on the return as it is very inclined. The garden of the property lacked care and wasnt pleasant to sit in (did not represent the photos). There was also inadequate seating for the number of guests (4Read more chairs and 2 loungers). The gas barbecue isnt there; you have to book it and pay a deposit (not specified on the website). Beds were not put together as requested but they were quickly resolved to doubles from twins by the onsite housekeeper. However, the property is very nice inside, it was very clean, welcoming, comfortable furnishings and beds but I have stayed in better accommodation for the money it cost. Would still recommend based on the peaceful setting and location. Hide

We enjoyed some aspects of our stay at Totes but unfortunately we found that the description sadly didnt reflect reality. Whilst the property and facilities were mostly good we were disappointed that the sea and countryside views were not visible at all from the cottage. It was overlooked by other cottages and we even had other guests enjoying a piRead morecnic and vapes right outside our kitchen window. On the positive side the hot tub was lovely but the gardens are very badly neglected. Hide

On looking for a long weekend getaway with our family & two little dogs I came across Totes Cottage in Westward Hoe, Devon. What a perfect place in a wonderful location. The accommodation was beautiful, luxurious decor, spotlessly clean, every facility for your stay. With the added bonus of a privately enclosed hot tub. There are plenty of lovely pRead morelaces to visit and eat. Shops nearby. All in all just perfect! Hide
