You are quite literally in the Devonshire countryside with just the noise of the birds and animals, so relaxing. The cottage is one of the best holiday accommodations we've stayed in. Standard/cleanliness were excellent. Six of us stayed of different age groups, 2 young ones, 2 middles plus us 2 oldies! Oh, and 1 dog. On arrival we were amazed by the chocolate cake, eggs and milk left for us. Also a basket with bits to get us started. We were all well catered for with the excellent facility of well equipped games barn, field for football and badminton. The hot tub and outside seating were our favourite, returning earlier than usual each day to use it. The whole cottage is beautifully furnished with no expense spared. The kitchen/diner was well equipped and spacious. Bedrooms were all very comfortable with lots of storage space. Damon & Karen, our hosts are very friendly and welcoming with tips and information. All in all a great week and I could go on...... Missing the cottage with the peace and quiet already
