We had the most wonderful stay at the cottage. We enjoyed the canoes and we brought the paddleboard which was lots of fun. The views are amazing and sitting on the bench by the Summer House, taking in the views was lovely. The beds are comfy, and the kitchen was the best equipped we've ever seen! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Fantastic holiday accommodation, spacious and well equipped, (only item we couldnt locate was a set of kitchen scales.) Just need to be mindful, when leaving the property, the outdoor wheelie bin (when we stayed) had also been used for garden waste, so gets full!

What a fantastic house! This is the best holiday home we have ever stayed in! It had everything we needed and more! We had hours of fun on the kayaks too. We enjoyed lovely days out in Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Blackpool Sands, and Dartmoor. We especially liked Dartmouth where we did a couple of boat trips and visited the Castle. Our Favourite placesRead more to eat were the Church House Inn in Stokenham, The Seven Stars and The Crabshell, both in Kingsbridge. Hide

With excitement we arrived and set foot through the door. Immediately we knew it was all we had wished for. The sun shone all the week as we went from coast to coast. Thurlestone was the beach that we all adored the most. The Gara Rock hotel for dinner was divine. East Portlemouth for coffee really was sublime. The Globe is everything a local pub sRead morehould be. Great food, fun staff and a short hop for your tea. The Millbrook is a joy and the food not to be missed. Sundowners on the terrace - just moments of sheer bliss. Paddling on the creed and cooking up a feast. The plancha is so easy for the farm shop meaty treats. Bigbury On Sea is the perfect place to swim. And don't forget to try the Bonkers East Prawle Pig's Nose Inn! Torcross, Slapton, Blackpool in the sunshine, such a treat. The water is so clear that you could be down in Greece! The house is something special and we simply couldn't find A single thing the owners had not brought to mind.
