About this property
Just a thirty minute drive from the historic cathedral town of Exeter, Little Waycroft is situated in a peaceful, rural location between the popular, family friendly, seaside resort of Dawlish and the village of Starcross. All on one level, this villa style property is incredibly spacious both inside and out, being set in two acres of grounds with wonderful countryside views. Enter via the hall to the enormous kitchen with table, chairs and comfy sofa. From the adjacent lounge, sliding doors lead to a private, south facing, decked terrace - not overlooked, this is an ideal spot to dine outdoors or enjoy the sun. Steps lead down into the gardens, shared with the owner and their young family which you are welcome to explore.

The owners were very welcoming and helpful. The cottage is set in a lovely rural location with a great view across the countryside and plenty of places to visit. It is spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. The only problem is the poor wifi - otherwise I would have given 5 stars.
