The cottage was well appointed, with everything you might need, it was very clean on arrival. We were greeted with fresh flowers and a delicious cream tea. The indoor pool was excellent, very clean and a great size, my children loved the games room too. We found lots of excellent beaches, we really enjoying mooching around Kingsbridge too, there are lots of great local shops. The owners Beni and Jonathan were both very friendly and incredibly helpful during our stay. We would definitely recommend Fixit cottage, in-fact we hope to return.

“The owners were extremely charming and helpful but it was such a shame that the cottage itself was a bit tatty it could have done with a fresh coat of paint especially on rusty radiators and walls and some of the furnishings were very tired .”

My husband burnt his hand badly on an oven glove that disintegrated on use . A small bit of tlc would have made this cottage lovely instead of just okay as it is in such a lovely setting and the use of the pool was a bonus. We also felt that it would have been useful to warn us that certain mobile networks had no connection such as EE

Thank you for your feedback and for you kind comments about the owners. We are sorry that the Cottage didn’t meet your expectations on this occasion. The property is decorated on a regular basis and furniture is replaced as and when required. As you can appreciate, it is difficult to redecorate during the busy season with only a few shorts hours in-between guests for changeover and so occasionally there may be very minor signs of wear and tear, but these are the first comments we have had to this effect. A worn oven glove must have been put in the Cottage by mistake during changeover, for which the owners apologise. As you know, they live on site and all guests are encourage to go to them with any concerns. In this instance they would have replaced the oven glove immediately if they there was an issue. Mobile signal can vary between each network provider, and coverage can change, but the property does offer free WiFi and there is a pay phone located by the swimming pool to help alleviate any issues. We are always happy to answer any queries about the property in advance of your stay. We hope you will visit Fixit Cottage for more lovely holidays in Kingsbridge. Property Owner

“A lovely holiday cottage, the owners Jonathan & Beni went above & beyond in their hospitality to make our stay all the more enjoyable.”

A welcoming cream tea on arrival, fresh eggs & even taxiing us down to a local pub the Churchhouse Inn for a delicious meal. The fab indoor heated swimming pool is an added bonus!

“A short break to celebrate release from lockdown - hooray!”

A fabulous stay. Very hospitable and friendly hosts - fresh flowers and cream tea on arrival, with convivial conversations as paths crossed. Comfortable cottage; would have appreciated a radio or cd player, but such a petty point. Lovely swimming pool. Everything set in a tranquil, but active, farm in a quiet valley. Lots to see and do in the area. Would love to go back to Fixit Cottage and Devon.

“Absolutely loved this cottage.”

Really well equipped with everything we needed. Great location for exploring Kingsbridge, Salcombe and surrounding beaches. Pool was an added bonus and great option for rainy days. Cottage was so peaceful and the most gorgeous cream tea waiting for us. So grateful for all the additional measures in place to keep us safe and allow us to still enjoy our holiday.

“Lovely cottage with great facilities.”

Loved the pool and games room. Beni & Jonathan very welcoming hosts, with a great location close to Kingsbridge and easy access to all of the South Hams. The Hen House spa is great - we enjoyed a wonderful massage there, and the cream tea on arrival in our cottage was a lovely touch.

“This is a wonderful cottage with great facilities.”

Our kids made daily use of the indoor heated pool and we used the gym as well as massage treatment on site. You couldn't ask for more in terms of facilities and location (v near to loads of beautiful beaches and coves). Hosts were very friendly and approachable yet left us to our own devices. Lovely welcome on arrival of fresh flowers and cream tea. Only slight criticism if i had to think of something is being a high ceilinged old building there were a few hard to reach cobwebs and two single beds pushed together for mummy and daddy were a bit of a challenge! This certainly did not dampen our trip though and overall would highly recommend this place and would love to return!

About the location

KINGSBRIDGE

Salcombe 5 miles; Bantham 5 miles; Dartmouth 12 miles; Totnes 13 miles; Plymouth 20 miles.

The busy little town of Kingsbridge lies at the head of a marine estuary in the attractive South Hams area of South Devon. Kingsbridge is home to a range of lovely independent shops and coffee shops, as well as a local cinema and an award-winning pub. During the summer season there are river excursions to Salcombe to see the abundant wildlife in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which also forms part of the South Devon Heritage Coast. Visitors can take a walk along the Kingsbridge Quay, wander through the narrow alleys off Fore Street or visit the Shambles in Totnes, an Elizabethan market arcade. Around the South Hams area there are picturesque ports, such as Dartmouth and Salcombe, together with sandy beaches at Blackpool Sands near Stoke Fleming and the two sandy beaches at Thurlestone. There are a host of small attractive villages in South Hams offering interesting pubs, local farm produce shops and pretty rows of cottages, plus further afield the waterfront city of Plymouth is a vibrant centre housing the National Marine Aquarium, historic Barbican Quay and plenty of night life, including theatres, restaurants and bars. Kingsbridge can be easily reached by train to Totnes and then a local bus service which will take you to Kingsbridge town centre.
