The majority of guests found the cottage to be very clean upon arrival, with only a minor mention of cobwebs in hard-to-reach places. The cleanliness of the pool and other facilities was also highlighted positively.

Guests report the cottage as comfortable, with comfy beds and a relaxing atmosphere. Some guests found the sofas and downstairs mattresses to be less comfortable, which slightly impacts the overall comfort score.
Facilities like the indoor swimming pool, games room, and well-equipped kitchen are frequently mentioned as highlights. However, there are comments about limited TV channels, the need for better insulation for noise, and minor maintenance issues like a dishwasher rail needing a stop.

On the negative side, the cottage does not have a view and The games room needs maintenance.

The cottage was wam and welcoming and the swimming pool was fab. We enjoyed the games room too, but the pool table was not that level which was a bit of a disappointment, although Beni did say that she would sort this out for future guests. Overall, a lovely holiday experience in a beautiful part of the country. Mark & Liz

It had everything we needed, was comfortable and the owners were very welcoming and friendly. The cottage is well laid out and the newly refurbished kitchen was a bonus and very well equipped. The swimming pool was a big hit. We were lucky enough to have the pool to ourselves and it was a lovely way to relax after a day exploring this beautiful corner of Devon. We will definitely visit again and stay at Fixit Cottage.
