Close to all amenities. The perfect location for relaxing or travelling around the beautiful south Devon, a definite must.

The blinds in the bedroom and the lounge donât fit the windows. They end about 4 inches from the bottom. In the bedroom the curtains are so flimsy that they too donât do their work. This means that you can see into the bedroom and right onto the bed from the street outside even with the curtains closed. Itâs the same in the lounge but thatâs not as worrying. There is no room on the other side of the bed for a bedside table and the shelf provided was hanging off the wall. We did inform the owner/landlord/caretaker who took it away, leaving us with no shelf. The shower is quite old and could do with replacing and the shower head and holder donât match so itâs tricky to adjust the position of the shower head. We had lovely welcome gifts which we really appreciated but Iâd prefer money to be spent on the things mentioned above.

Everything thought of and provided for and everything working and in good order . Lovely soft towels and sheets and plenty of hot water . Garden really useful for our small dog . Tony left us lots of little touches like biscuits and milk and a bottle of wine which was a really nice gesture and much appreciated . Necessary to point out that on first arriving the cottage is in a slip road ( good parking) off of a very very busy main road . However once inside you really can not hear it at all . Quite extraordinary . A great place to stay and very handy for the town amd getting out and about .
