  • "We had a brilliant week in Primrose Cottage."

    The cottage is delightful; well maintained, extremely well equipped, very clean and comfortable. The location in the village was great. A quick walk through the churchyard to the friendly Drewe Arms which serves good food and ales. Great walks from the cottage door.

  • "The cottage was absolutely beautiful in a very scenic location."

    The walk from the village to fingle Bridge was easy once we found the path. Would not recommend walking on the road as too narrow. Castle Drogo and the grounds again a walk away, is a must visit. Both theses locations are accessible by car and only 5 mins away from cottage for those not wanting to walk. We would certainly go back to this location and cottage.

    Dear Mrs Englishby, thank you so much for your very kind review. We are delighted that you had a great time and we would be thrilled to welcome you back. Property Owner

    Very secure for dogs. Lots to see within a 40 mile radius. Head for the coast and use the scenic coastal trains for trips up and down the seaside towns. Just the most ideal cottage to relax and unwind. A credit to the owners and those involved in keeping the cottage spotless.
