“Absolutely lovely cottage, immaculate, warm & quiet.”

Hosts couldn't do enough for us, charming people and great dogs. Loved it all.
Mr Clarke September 2019

“What can we say di and Chris met us on arrival Di helped to unload the car allowed me to store the roof box.”

In a secure place showed us around the cottage as we arrived about 6 30 pm. They suggested a pub for evening meal. Chris and Di were all ways available for advice on places to visit best pubs to eat. And anything we needed to make our holiday a success.. The welcome pack and fresh flowers that was in the cottage on arrival was very welcoming. Fantastic cottage lovely location easy access to all areas wouldn't hesitate to book the cottage again if we're back in Devon
Mr Kennedy September 2019

“If there is such a thing as 5 star self catering this has to be it.”

Excellent facilities, beautiful setting, peace and quiet away from it all. Our hosts were most accommodating and always there if help was needed. Will we return,most definitely.
Mr Becher August 2019

“Fantastic cottage, best equipped with everything in top quality with super-nice hosts.”

Average 45 mins to go to either north or south sea shores so very central yet quite & tranquil.
Miss Seal August 2019

“I've been struggling to think if there is anything else i can add that hasnt already been mentioned!”

Chris and Di are wonderful, friendly, welcoming hosts with a fantastic knowledge of the area. We had an amazing few days bodyboarding at Saunton Sands on Di's recommendation. The cottage was spotlessly clean, equiped with everything we needed, in a beautiful, peaceful location and we had a welcome pack and fresh flowers waiting for us on our arrival. We found the location perfect to explore many other beaches and we visited the Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth. After a busy day out and about it was wonderful to return to the calm surroundinds and listen to sound of the river and the wind in the trees. Our holiday at Zeal cottage was just so perfect that we didn't want to leave! It is by far the best holiday we have ever had. We all loved meeting Cassie and Purdy who were just as friendly and welcoming as Chris and Di. Thank you for such a lovely holiday, i know that we will find it extremely hard to find anything as special.
Mrs Freestone August 2019

“Beautiful cottage down some very small country lanes.”

Fantastic base to visit most of Devon an hours drive will get you to beaches either on the west or south coast. We all had an amazing week.
Mrs Orford August 2019

“Zeal cottage is lovely, comfortable and spotlessly clean in beautiful peaceful surroundings.”

The welcoming goody pack and fresh flowers were very thoughtful and much appreciated. We had a lovely week in Devon and staying in Zeal cottage added to our enjoyment.
Mr Foster June 2019

“This cottage has everything that you need for a comfortable and relaxing holiday.”

Chris and Di are wonderful hosts. The four of us, two elderly couples, have been holidaying together for many years, and have unanimously agreed that this cottage is the best that we have ever stayed in.
Mrs Mathias June 2019

“The cottage was exactly as listed.”

The owners were so considerate and the Welcome Pack list they sent us before the holiday so that we had exactly what we liked was wonderful and the first one we have experienced. Such a calm and peaceful place. We would not hesitate to go back.
Mrs Brown April 2019

“We had such a wonderful time at Zeal Cottage last year we returned again this year.”

And... we were not disappointed. Di and Chris are such lovely people, they make us feel so welcome. The cottage is decorated beautifully, home from home. There is plenty of information regarding local shops, services and things to do. There was a grass feature added to the courtyard this year which was great. The children loved playing on this. We cannot wait to go back. Thank you so much! The Browns xxxx
Mrs Stevens April 2019

“Just spent a week at Zeal Cottage.”

Very well equipped, well furnished and decorated cottage. The owners are very helpful, with great directions and arranging a welcome pack in advance of arrival. There is now a wooden fence, which creates a more private seating area outside the cottage but still allowing space for a car to be parked the other side of the fence. The most noise you will hear is the birds singing and the gentle babble of the nearby river. Zeal Cottage is a little oasis of calm and quiet - a perfect bolt hole.
Mr Boys December 2018

“Zeal Cottage, in a nutshell, a spotlessly clean, well equipped, spacious, comfortable cottage set in peaceful beautiful surroundings.”

The owners have given much thought in providing everything we could need to make our stay very enjoyable, including a very generous tailor made Welcome Pack and fresh flowers. Although for us, it was more than that, what made it special was owners Di and Chris's very warm welcome and friendliness, icing on a cake that was already delicious !
Mrs Carter October 2018

“There is now a Fence around the outside of the concrete area so the outside is more private.”

You can sit outside as there is now a table and 6 chairs. The outside is going to have decking put down. There is still room to park the car outside the cottage. This is a lovely cottage with lovely hosts who supplied a welcome pack. We would go back again.
Ms Kinnison September 2018

“Lovely location Great hosts on hand if needed Beautiful cottage done to a high spec Would love to return soon”
Mrs Brown September 2018

“Zeal cottage is a very beautiful place to stay.”

Di and Chris were wonderful people who went out of their way to welcome us. We were treated with the highest level of hospitality. The grounds are peaceful, well maintained and so very pretty. The local area well equipped with all we needed. Highly recommended so much so we’ve already booked up for next year and told friends too. Thank you so much for this wonderful holiday. Paula, Wayne, Ronnie and Betsy Brown x
Beverley D September 2018

“A lovely property and would thoroughly recommend.”

The location was rural, so very quiet and peaceful. The owners, who live in an adjacent thatched cottage, met us on arrival and went through appliances, etc. as well as providing a book with a lot of information. Owners also provided a lovely welcome package, which was most appreciated. The house was spotless, the beds very comfortable, underfloor heating adjustable in each room and good hot showers. Kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed to prepare meals. Both bedrooms quite spacious. Rather modern interior but beams from the old mill building had been retained and gave atmosphere. As three adults we found plenty to do in the week we were there, including Exmoor and Dartmoor. There is also a public walking path accessible from the property. If we lived in England we would be back.
Mrs Davis September 2018

“Excellent property and one of the best we have ever used over many years of self catering accommodation.”

The hosts were above expectations, after using three other properties in other areas before this one and cannot recommend this property highly enough. Very good value for money. Best of all there were no stairs.
Mrs Whiteley September 2018

“We have just returned from a wonderful stay here.”

I would highly recommend this cottage, I don’t have enough nice things to say about it. It’s finished to an exceptional standard. Incredibly clean and so well equipped. We couldn’t have asked for more, very friendly owners and probably the best cottage we’ve ever stayed it. We’re already looking at booking for next year and recommended to friends.
Mr Koerner September 2018

“Thank you so much for the great accommodation.”

We had a great time and felt very comfortable. Also our son had a lot of fun and even learned to walk there. The hosts are very friendly and helpful.
Dr Ward August 2018

“Lovely cottage and very welcoming hosts!”

Excellent facilities, a lovely place to stay. Would come back and stay again
Mr Abbott July 2018

“A warm friendly welcome from Chris, Di and their lovely dogs was the start to a great stay at Zeal Cottage.”

The accommodation has been finished to a very high modern standard with all rooms having plenty of space and storage and felt very homely. It's situated in a lovely setting of an old vin yard with Chris and Di's beatifull thatched cottage at the top of the drive and lovely gardens and surrounding countryside. There is a well equipped large laundry room adjacent which is accessed by some steps. In brief, a modern accommodation in beatifull surroundings run by a lovely couple, we didn't want to leave.
Mr Taylor July 2018

“Cottage was first class,and made very welcome.”
Mrs Rapley June 2018

“Lovely well equipped cottage in a peaceful location.”

Helpful owners who provided a thoughtful welcome pack. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. Highly recommend.
