“The lounge was extremely dark and dreary.”

We couldn't sit in the garden as there was the constant whine of the sewerage pump a short distance away. Otherwise OK, well equipped apart from no normal cheese grater only small one for topping.
Mrs Blackburn July 2019

“The owner was very friendly, his wife had made us cupcakes for when we arrived.”

The house was extremely well equipped, and all the basics had been provided (tea, coffee, milk, loo rolls, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets etc etc.
Mrs Gilbert July 2019

“Such a beautiful House.”

Hosts absolutely lovely. Had everthing we could possibly need. Couldn't have been happier.
Mrs Ward June 2019

“A fantastic cottage in a glorious corner of Devon.”

We were made to feel very welcome, and enjoyed our plate of home made cupcakes! Loved the pool, and ease of access to some wonderful coves, rocky coast and pretty villages. Plenty of places nearby to eat out too.
