The cottage was great in almost all respects but we had been looking forward to the sauna as advertised and paid for but found that both control knobs seemed to have been removed meaning we could not use it

We loved the cottage and it was ideal to visit other locations in Devon. The roads that lead to the village were a bit scarey. The local pub was open but the kitchen was closed for the week. That was a pain but couldnt be helped.

A superbly equipped cottage in a truly rural location. Waking up to the sight of cows and sheep in the fields was wonderful. There is a great dog exercise field five minutes walk up the road which our dog lived along with the nearby woodland walks. It was a shame to find the local pub had shut and was up for sale. Just ment we had a 15 minute driveRead more to the nearest one. Totally relaxing ... Hide

Beautiful cottage superbly well equipped, lovely views across the valley, great location with a short walk to local pub. Very steep staircase might make it difficult for some.

We just enjoyed a very comfortable and relaxing week at Thatch View Cottage. Beautifully decorated and furnished, and everything you would possibly need is there. Despite the wet weather we enjoyed fabulous days out to Clovelly, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Torquay. Spent a couple of days at the cottage. We enjoyed the sauna, played games and saRead moret in the garden room enjoying the views! And good food and local beers at the pub a few doors away! We'll be back! Hide
