Guests say
Cowslip Cottage is highly praised for its cleanliness, peaceful location, and comfort. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, cosy wood-burning stove, and comfortable beds. The property's proximity to coastal attractions and local eateries like The Cricketers Inn adds to its charm. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is of a well-presented and welcoming holiday retreat.
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'very clean', 'immaculately clean', and 'beautifully clean'. Only one comment about a stained mattress slightly detracts from an otherwise pristine reputation.
The location is consistently described as peaceful, beautiful, and ideal for exploring nearby coastal areas. Guests enjoy the quiet setting and proximity to attractions, though some mention the rural location being more remote than expected.
Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the beds particularly comfortable. However, some guests noted issues with seating for the full occupancy and a tired mattress in the main bedroom.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen and WiFi. However, points are deducted for reported maintenance issues such as non-working lights, a problematic fridge, and the need for safety improvements like handrails and non-slip mats.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no specific mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
About this property
Cowslip Cottage is a delightful barn conversion on the outskirts of Frogmore, a pretty village with a picturesque creek and fantastic bakery. Situated only eight miles from Salcombe and within easy reach of the Start Bay coastline (just a 10-minute drive away), this is a fantastic base for a holiday.
Nestled in a peaceful, rural location, surrounded by countryside, this barn conversion has an open-plan kitchen/sitting/dining area with bi-fold doors out to the rear terrace. The country kitchen is very well equipped with a classic range cooker. There is also an oak dining table with seating for six, whilst the sitting area has a large leather sofa. There are three bedrooms in total: on the first floor is a King-size double, and a twin room. The spacious master is located on the second floor and has a super King-size bed and an en suite bathroom with a bath and shower cubicle. In addition to the master en suite bathroom is a family bathroom on the first floor with bath and shower cubicle.
Outside the barn is an attractive garden for children to explore, whilst at the rear is a paved terrace with outdoor furniture to enjoy some al fresco dining in the summer sunshine. There is allocated parking for one car, however additional visitors’ spaces are usually available.
Ideally set up for a family looking for a quiet retreat, within easy reach of Devon’s unspoilt beaches, this baby-friendly property provides excellent accommodation.
The tranquil village of Frogmore, located at the head of Frogmore Creek, is surrounded by stunning countryside and is just three miles from the pretty market town of Kingsbridge. Within a 10-minute drive from beautiful Start Bay and the 1.2 mile long beach at Slapton Sands, Frogmore is a fantastic holiday destination for those looking for a tranquil spot that’s in easy reach of a range of attractions. Walking from Frogmore to the village of West Charleton along the water’s edge is a great way to see the creek. This pretty village is well-known for its excellent bakery, traditional pub, beautiful creek and perhaps most of all, it’s family-friendly annual regatta in August.

Kitchen really well equipped. Only 2 small criticisms really. The garden wasn't fully enclosed so our dog kept going through to next door's garden. He is a fairly small dog but it was easy for him to get over the wall. Also a coffee table would be nice in the living room area. Other than that we had a lovely stay. Unfortunately we had to cut it short after 5 days due to a family emergency back home.
