Corfu cottage is a welcoming and comfortable house. We found that it was ideally placed for walking the SWCP in this area. We completed Sidmouth to Brixham using just trains and buses - ideal. The scones, jam and cream plus the milk & fudge were very welcome and soon disappeared. Everything we needed was provided along with comfortable chairs, sofRead moreas and beds - thank you. It is a short walk into town (10 - 12 mins) mainly downhill and about the same in the opposite direction to the Smugglers inn that has a nice carvery. Hide

Beautiful cottage and garden. We had a lovely time. Perfect for our cocker spaniel. He loved sniffing around in the garden. Everything that you could possibly need was provided. Lovely welcome pack. Great location. We took the train to,Exeter, which was so easy and scenic along the coast. Great dog park near Sainsburys, where the dogs are very safeRead more off lead. Would love to return to the cottage one day Hide

We had a relaxing week at Corfu Cottage. The house is very clean, comfortable and has everything there that you need. The garden is lovely and was great for our 2 dogs to explore in. Great location with plenty of things to do locally. The chip thief home delivery of great fish and chips recommended. Welcome pack was a lovely start to our stay.

Beautifully presented property in a quiet road. The school opposite was surprisingly quiet as not many pupils. Short walk (5 mins) into Dawlish. Location was superb to access the local area and beyond. Plenty of things to do within a small radius.

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
