• "We have been staying at Stable End Cottage for many years and have already booked for 2025."

  The cottage is perfect for us. It is always spotlessly clean and very well maintained. It sits in stunning countryside with great local walks. Mr & Mrs Read are always on hand to help with any information you may require.

• "We received a warm welcome along with great tips on local areas to explore."

  The cottage was maintained to a high standard and very comfortable. We had everything we needed for 3 adults on a walking holiday. Good October weather and a courtyard garden was a bonus. Breakfast outside was such a treat. A fabulous holiday.

• "We had a lovely week at Stable End Cottage."

  The cottage was in a perfect location for us with footpaths off in all directions and an easy walk to the coast. The cottage was so comfortable with everything we needed and a nice private garden to sit out in.

• "The cottage was fabulous and we couldn’t fault anything."

  It was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. There was even some new comfortable garden furniture in the enclosed small garden. We didn’t use it as much as we would have liked due to poor weather. We loved the peaceful location, not far from the small supermarket and bus stop. Parking was very easy just outside the front door. We enjoyed some lovely walks from the property without having to use the car. A fantastic base to explore a beautiful area. The owners have obviously thought of everything to give visitors a great place to stay. Thank you.

  The location and setting are excellent for those wanting to feel remote but within walking distance of amenities and the beautiful coastal paths. The property is well thought out and equipped to a high standard. The owners are also extremely helpful, suggesting some excellent walks and sharing other hints and tips about the area.

• "We have been staying at this property every year for the last thirteen years except during lockdown."

  The property has ample parking and is always spotlessly clean and very well maintained. We tend to eat in and the kitchen area is more than adequate for our needs. There is excellent TV reception and good internet access. It is situated in a quite valley surrounded by beautiful countryside with access to public footpaths nearby. We will be returning in 2024.

• "Stable End cottage is in a perfect location, surrounded by countryside it has lots of places for walking and enjoying the Devon countryside."

  It is also very close to the lovely town of Salcombe which apparently is the Kinightsbridge of Devon with its fabulous independent boutiques and harbour. The cottage is peaceful a real bolt hole from the noise of life. It has an amazing huge bedroom with tons of storeage space, a lovely en-suite bathroom with a bath and amazing views across the countryside. The smaller twin room downstairs is a fair size, I think if there were 2 adults in there it may be a bit of a squeeze, but perfect for kids or one adult. Great size shower room downstairs. The cottage is comfortable and is equipped with all you need for a good stay including some cooking utensils, iron, hoover etc. There is a really nice garden area where you can sit and relax looking out over the countryside. The cottage was very clean and tidy and looked brand new. My advice would be before arriving call the owners for directions as the ones on the website lead you to a new build estate and you can easily miss the turning for the cottage. I would highly recommend this cottage as a perfect place to stay in Devon.

• "First stay at Stable End Cottage, but hope to return again soon."

  Cottage is well equipped, spotlessly clean, very well decorated to a high standard and in a beautiful quiet location, secluded but easy to get to. Very handy for Salcombe and surrounding coves and beaches. Hope Cove was a gem to find. Our weather wasnt perfect but it would have been great to make use of the garden and BBQ provided. No phone signal for us but wifi good so not a problem. Really enjoyed seeing wild Deer in the field most days along with other wildlife. Perfect location for relaxing holiday. Thank you.

• "Lovely lovely property - well appointed, exceptionally clean and well maintained."

  Location was superb. If not eating out, local Co-op and Ashbys had good quality supplies. The owner came to greet us after our arrival which was lovely, and gave us some useful tips about where to go. Our only issue would be to comment on the fearsome draught through the bottom half of the front door, which, as we had some very cold days, meant it was difficult to get the ground floor warm enough (upstairs was fine).

• "A delightful cottage in a quiet location but within easy reach of daily needs."

  The pretty patio garden with its open views is private and perfect for al fresco dining. The property is very well presented and is well maintained and equipped. There are attractive villages and wonderful beaches all around accessed by typically challenging Devon roads. HOWEVER, Sykes Cottages need to update their directions i.e. the garage at the crossroads in Malborough is now the "Co-Op": the final direction stating turn right at last house in Collaton Road leads into a new housing estate, so please add "then turn left" (as this extra turning looks unlikely).

  Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We were really pleased to read that you had an enjoyable stay here at Stable End Cottage and that it was presented beautifully prior to your arrival. Thank you for bringing the property’s directions to our attention, we will be sure to update these immediately. Coast and Country Cottages on behalf of, Property Owner

  The cottage was absolutely spotless and very comfortable. It was better in real life than the photos showed. The only small criticism is the wi-fi could be better. Maybe a satellite broadband solution could be the answer. But everything else was absolutely superb. Highly recommend.

• "Lovely cottage."

  However property advertised as having WIFI, but wasn't working properly and the owner said that even when it was it was slow and unreliable. There was also no phone reception. This made it very difficult to plan anything to do with a toddler on a wet week! There was also no phone to use to contact emergency services. Would use the company again however.

• "It is a beautiful property, well maintained and a great location."

  Our only concerns were that it stated Broadband was available, however this was not the case but the owners apologised for the problem and no mobile signal either which I know is out of their control. It just happened that our holiday coincided with some concerns with my parents at home and I would like to have had better contact with them in the cottage via wifi for example rather than having to go up to the top of the hill each time I wanted to call them. The property itself was lovely and comfortable, great facilities and plenty of room. The owners were delightful and very welcoming and I would highly recommend this property, unless you need to be online at all times.

• "Lovely accommodation with pleasant owners."

  There to welcome and there if needed but privacy entirely respected. I was also given a complementary Riverford organics box. I took the trouble to advise well in advance that I was veggie-but still got given a packet of bacon and at least a pound of sausages. C&CC may have passed the message on but having it ignored did not impress. They might also like to think about cleaning the chiller packs -they smelt appalling and unwelcome alongside stuff to be eaten.
