The location is highly praised for its stunning views, accessibility to beautiful coastal walks, and the convenience of a local pub and restaurant. The proximity to Dartmouth and Blackpool Sands is also appreciated, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.
Guests consistently describe the property as comfortable, with a homely feel and thoughtful touches. Some guests suggested improvements such as a bigger TV and better water pressure, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
The property is considered well-equipped, especially the kitchen, though there are comments about the lack of a full-size ironing board and the need for more towels. The mention of a non-working fridge and TV tuning issues indicate some room for improvement in maintenance.

Mrs Fagan
Very quiet, comfortable bed and small but everything you need. Easy access to towns. One car only in lane a bit scary but worth it.

Well equipped and comfortable property with great view. A very good location for exploring this part of Devon coastline. The fact that everything in the property worked as intended made it an easy and very enjoyable stay.

The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped, in a fantastic position with a lovely view. It feels very homely with thoughtful finishing touches such as throws (very welcome on unseasonably chilly evenings in July!) and sea-related pictures and mirror frames. I would definitely return.
