..very much a 5 star property that will be very difficult to match. Willow Cottage is by far the best property we have stayed in, offering every type of kitchen and utility room appliances you could ever need along with a much admired pantry! We all very much appreciated all the space the house offers and spent a lot of time admiring the beautiful garden with so many different seating areas and a large lawn t play games on .....everyone was happy. All the house views and local footpaths were a complete treat, with easy access to Dartmouth and the many beaches. A special thanks to Sally for providing such a fantastic cottage in a very peaceful location, especially enjoyed all your information on the many flowers, trees and animals. It was lovely to meet you and thank you for being so caring with our young granddaughter. We all look forward to returning to Willow Cottage.

We had everything that we could have wanted. The gardens added to the pleasure, they were beautifully designed to complement the house. The owner gave us a very enjoyable and knowledgeable tour of the garden attached to the main house. She and her husband were very friendly, and Dave, the head gardener was very helpful.
