“We had a lovely holiday in Elm Cottage.”

It was very cosy , which was very important as the weather was not too great. The wood burner was so much appreciated

It was very cosy , which was very important as the weather was not too great. The wood burner was so much appreciated The cottage was very well equipped, clean and comfortable. The owners made sure everything was ready for us The only thing missing was WiFi. I didn’t think to ask as I wrongly assumed everyone had it . It didn’t spoil our time there at all but it would have been useful

“What an amazing cottage.”

It’s in a fab location, secluded yet close enough to all towns and villages nearby. The cottage is very cosy and homely, with everything we needed for our stay. LWe felt very relaxed here. We will be returning.

“Thoroughly enjoyed our week.”

The cottage and the surrounding area all exceeded our expectations - and the local pub was excellent! The owners of the property and everyone else we met in the village were very friendly and hospitable. We are already planning when we might be able to come again!

“Great base/location for cycling with the Tarka trail a 5minute cylce from the cottage.”

A decent pub in the village less than 2minutes away with plenty of choices in both food and drink. The cottage is located in a very picturesque and peaceful locations with views across the bay. Well worth a visit.

“Great cottage nice location”

On arrival the tea and Scones sat on the table, we was greeted by the owner who lives next door, the kitchen was great with a modern looking old fashion stove that was simply fantastic, the sitting room was nice with a old fashion log fire, next to the kitchen was a down stairs toilet and a large shower and separate bath, the two bedrooms where large and the beds very comfortable, the small upstairs toilet was very small and not used. Local super markets about a mile away, and the location was central to may attractions. Car parking was a little tight as the village has narrow roads.

“A great holiday in a dream cottage in an excellent location”

The warmest of welcomes from the owner who made us feel at home immediately. The cottage contains everything and more for a perfect break. Comfortable bed and extremely well equipped kitchen and bathroom. A log burner in the lounge made for a very cosy end to each day. Best of all was the fact that pub was two minutes walk away, where a wide selection of real ales was available and the food is of a high standard and you are welcomed as a villager not an outsider visiting.

“Perfect”

The cottage was very clean and comfortable, felt like home from home. Incredibly quite location and very friendly villagers. Perfect location for Rosemoor, Dartington glass and a visit to Hartland abbey Bay, superb. Great walks along the Tarka Trail. Whatever you are interested in, this is a perfect spot.

“Elm Cottage”

A very comfortable cottage with lots of extra facilities which were very welcome when the weather was not so good.The welcome was warm and everything was exceptionally well prepared including a plate of scones.The cottage was in a good location to allow visits to the sights of both Devon and Cornwall.A lovely time was had by all.

“Cosy Cottage - Superb Location”

We wanted a traditional cottage (not a bungalow masquerading) in a real village, and we got it. Fantastic. Scones with Devonshire clotted cream on arrival. We have two young ones (2 & 6) so the location was perfect. The 'amazing' Big Sheep is just around the corner. A great bike ride along the 'Otter Trail', great beaches nearby and the beautiful Woolacoombe beach just up the road (take the hill road and drop down through the dunes to escape the masses). Clovelly is nearby too and still truly beautiful.
