Oyster Cottage

Stairs were very steep which I found difficult.

Should be noted in write up for those who are elderly or infirm. Location was not as good as write up although the beach was great. Could not get the heating to work in cottage either and decided to leave a day earlier.

We had the most wonderful stay at Oyster Cottage and it is our third visit here.

The cottage it is ideally placed to visit all the surrounding beaches in the area and was warm and cosy and the owner Lynne could not do enough for us. I highly recommend this cottage as a lovely place to stay and we have booked again for later in the year as we love it so much.

The cottage was located in a beautiful part of the South Hams.

It was ideally situated close to Burgh Island and within easy reach of Kingsbridge and Salcombe. We enjoyed our stay at Oyster Cottage very much. It was clean, comfortable and provided everything we needed for self catering. There was also a handy village shop nearby. We look forward to returning soon.

We had a wonderful stay at Oyster Cottage the location was quiet but with in easy distance of coastal walks, towns and beaches.

We would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the country side while staying in a very clean and cute cottage.

A cosy modern cottage near to golf, the coast, a pub and shop.

Suits us.

Lovely cottage, interaction via text was good

Had a lovely stay at Oyster Cottage.

Great communication from the owner. Property has everything you could need, very comfortable and is in a picturesque location. Sitting on the patio in the sunshine with a glass of wine was perfect! Would definitely recommend.

The 2nd time we have stayed at Oyster.

Parking right by the property, quite rare in South Hams. A few doors away from The Pickwick Inn, open all day for drinks and pub food at lunchtime and eve. 100 yards to the local stores/delicatessen. 2 miles to Bigbury Golf Club. 3 miles to Bigbury on Sea. Great location. Cosy modern cottage.

Excellent cottage near to all amenities great location will definitely visit again

we were really disappointed with this property , in the 25 years we have been renting ,this is the worst.

Our first impression of the property was of weeds growing on the patio , no attention or care to the outside . paint peeling near the key safe , ancient patio furniture if you even wanted to sit out next to a pub car park , empty plant pots.No care has been given to the upkeep of this property, inside or out The tiny shower overflowed even with the shortest of showers.Totally misrepresented on your website .This needs sorting.Will not recommend SYKES.

We really enjoyed our time at Oyster Cottage and found the place clean and vert comfortable very handy for Burgh Island and lots of walks from the cottage.

Will recommend to friends

A lovely cottage in a great location which was perfect for our short break.

Vert well equipped and had everything we needed. The village shop is only a couple of minutes walk away, as is the pub. We enjoyed walks from the cottage with our dog including getting to the coast path, plus short drive to Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Hope Cove. Lots to do in the area.

Overall a lovely week away and comfortable cottage.

Some areas need a bit of tlc - painting or cleaning (blinds, velux window, various cobwebs). Rear patio - quite a few weeds, we poured some boiling water on them. Patio furniture needs a good cleaning, however weather was wet so had little opportunity to sit out. Oven only had 1 shelf so made cooking quite difficult. Baking trays need replacing as non-stick was coming off them. Yummy cake and useful to have pint of milk thank you

Lovely cottage, great location, surprised by a chocolate cake and milk provided, all requirements met.

Great stay. The beaches at Bigbury on sea are fabulous. Parking g at Bigbury-on-sea on the front are expensive, but found £5 parking up the hill a short stroll up the hill.

Absolutely wonderful cottage.

Clean, modern. Loved the cake and Prosecco-plus a local paper - which was a lovely touch, and made us feelvery welcome. The cottage was in a little hamlet with a well stocked shop - although the pub I wouldn’t recommend. However we were so cosy in the evenings, we hardly moved! Loved the beach at Bigbury on Sea. Absolutely 5 star.

We had a lovely stay at Oyster cottage, despite the utterly dreadful weather.

We were a little surprised when we first arrived because we had the idea that the cottage was an old property when it is, in fact, a fairly new build. There was still plenty of character, though, and we were lovely and warm at all times (the heavy rain meant that we were indoors for much of the week) with a generous starter pack provided for the log burner in case we were chilly during the few hours that the heating wasn’t on. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had all the bits and bobs required for cooking away from home. We did have a problem with the shower not really working but Lynne, the owner, arranged a plumber to come out first thing the following morning and, as he had to go away and order a new part, she kept in touch and let us know what was happening and when the plumber would return to fix it. Once it was fixed it was a fabulous power shower! We’d like to give 5 stars to the plumber, too! The only complaint I have is absolutely nothing to do with the property - it is about the roads. Some of them are no more than 6 ft wide, with high hedges either side and multiple potholes. I presume, however, that this is a problem that neither Lynne nor Sykes can resolve!!! I would recommend Oyster Cottage to anyone wanting to stay in this part of Devon. Karen & Clive

We were a little disappointed that during a week of sea mists and constant rain we could only enjoy the central heating first thing in the morning and in the evening Because we had to spend longer periods in the cottage we had to buy several bags of logs to keep warm during the day In our 80s we like to be warm The cake awaiting us was very much appreciated it was delicious The beds rooms were very comfortable and warm The oven was quite dirty and no oven glove was provided to remove hot dishes We found the seating in the living room comfortable and our dog enjoyed sitting in front of the fire Despite the constant rain we enjoyed our stay visiting new places Pippi enjoyed her daily walk on the beach whatever the weather threw at us

Charming cottage, ideal for family of 4, well equipped, beautiful part of South Hams.

Great walking from cottage door. Great cottage for dog too. Very grateful to owners for answering their phones at 1045pm when smoke alarm flat battery alert was keeping us awake.

Cosy cottage, great location, clean and well equipped.

We were two couples and suited us well for long weekend. Would recommend.

The cottage was in a perfect location for exploring South Devon.

It was relatively clean but a few things could be improved. The windows frames need cleaning, the main bedroom was particularly bad. The blinds, especially the kitchen need a good wipe. Skirting in the bathroom needs a proper clean, there were hairs that didn't belong to us. The double bed, although not uncomfortable, was creaky. Beds in the second room were not comfortable. The sofa looked nice but was not very comfy. Despite all of of this, we had a lovely week and on improvement, I would still revisit Oyster Cottage.

We had a fantastic week in Devon made possible by our stay in Oyster Cottage.

Such a charming cottage in a great location for all our needs. A shop and Pub in spitting distance, the only downfall pub too close as we found ourselves in there after each walk!! Beaches were only 2.5 miles away and easily reached when walking on public bypasses. Oyster cottage catered for everything we needed, with a lovely welcome gift of a cake on our arrival. Highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again

Lovely cottage, fully equipped with everything we needed for a perfect and comfortable stay, with good off-road parking.

Great to have the excellent shop and pub on our doorstep too!

Really nice stay.

Everything we needed was provided. Small things that could be improved: Bedroom drawers were dirty so didn't use to put clothes in; maybe provide a few dishwasher tablets ( we had to buy some from the local shop); We had assumed we were nearer to the beach but that wasn't an issue. Thank you Oyster Cottage!

Fabulous cottage, very well furnished, very well equipped and spotlessly clean.

This cottage is a real home from home, we were reluctant to leave. Thank you for a lovely stay in your beautiful cottage.

This is a particularly delightful South Devon cottage furnished to a very high standard.

The location is very convenient as it is approx 2 miles from Bigbury on Sea in one direction and 2 miles from the A379 in the other direction and is close to many lovely beaches. The parking is very safe.it is around 1 miles from the Journeys End gastro pub and 1.5 miles from the Oyster Shack gastro cafe near the Avon Estuary both of which are walkable with care and torches down the country lanes. There is most convenient shop just across the lane for basic supplies inc milk, there is a pleasant Co-op store in small town of Modbury (around 5 miles from the cottage) and for larger food needs the Tesco in nearby Kingsbridge is a good place to stop en route to the cottage. The cottage is only around a 35 minute drive to Saltram House (National Trust) near Plymouth which we particularly loved and is good rainy day location. Our highlights were Beesands near Start Bay, Bigbury on Sea and Kingsbridge. You can tell the owners of this cottage really care about giving visitors a wonderful stay in their cottage.

The cottage was fine.

Unfortunately we were disturbed from 07:30 hrs by roadworks taking place (tarmac removal and retarmacing, road drills, jack hammers, dumper trucks etc) immediately outside the front door until Weds.

We had the most wonderful stay at Oyster Cottage.

It exceeded our expectations, the pictures dont really do it justice. The cottage is light and airy and is furnished to a high standard with everything we could ask for, we loved the stable door! The owners left plenty of useful information and maps about the area, and these were invaluable. Wouldn't change a thing!! The location is perfect for walking (we had our dog with us). Walk to Ringmore, Burgh Island, the tidal Road, and Kingston on footpaths all from the property,

Immaculate property, very comfortable, and a good location.

We loved it.
