The cottage was lovely and clean nothing was to much trouble, whilst we was out one day a motorist knocked the back of our wing mirror off my husband went to ask Peter for some tape he could straight back and made the wing mirror secure from any dampness thank you for that it has now been repaired.

"Everything was to a high standard."
Very comfortable bed and sofa, very well converted barn. Mr and Mrs Bradley friendly and helpful.
Only improvement I can think of, is to do with coming home there in the dark, as I did each evening: the light across the car park only came on once, so I was feeling my way which is a bit scary at 76! Also I think they should paint a white line on the first step down at the side of the cottage, it would be easy to miss it as it is.

"A wonderful, cosy, comfortable place to stay that exceeded all expectations - almost don't want to leave a review so we can keep this a hidden gem for ourselves!"
It is situated in an idyllic, sleepy village, but is still only about 15 minutes away from Exeter itself. In the other direction are the moors, with most National Trust sites within half an hours' drive. Judith and Peter were delightful hosts and were incredibly accommodating given current circumstances. The cottage is clean, thoughtfully laid out and well-equipped with modern appliances. We were even lucky enough to have whole garden to ourselves which was beautifully sunny for both breakfast in the morning and drinks in the evening. Overall, an absolutely lovely week away - we didn't want to leave, and we certainly can't wait to return!

we enjoyed our stay very much, very peaceful and relaxing garden area. Something that was very special for our Springer Spaniel Ziggy was a dog duvet, that you could put over the settee for her to sleep on, a unique idea.
We had fabulous weather, visited the coast Dawlish and Teignmouth and went on a superb walk on Dartmoor climbing up to the tors and down to the valleys, glorious far reaching views.
We would definitely return, ideal for just a few days, or a week, lots of places to visit nearby, in this unspoilt area of Devon.
