Delightful cottage, with hens trotting around.
Every facility one could ask for. Sadly the location, although delightful, meant driving all the time. Excellent pub in nearest village but still not close enough for us,

10/10 Excellent

Good location for seeing places around Devon
We wanted a quiet cottage to use as a base for visiting places around Devon and this cottage was great for that, with good access to main roads. The cottage was great: clean, comfortable, everything we needed for a family of four. I would definitely recommend it.

Schönes undgut gelegenes Cottage / Beautiful cottages in good location
(Enlish below) Wir haben uns in diesem Cottage sehr wohl gefühlt. Des begann bereits bei Empfang - der Vermieter hat uns alles ausführlich erklärt und Tips gegeben. Das Cottage war sauber, gut eingerichtet und bot Platz genug für eine Familie mit 2 Teenagern. Das Cottage ist gut gelegen für Ausflüge nach Exeter, ins Dartmoor und die ganze Umgebung. Allerdings braucht man, ein Auto. Gerne empfehlen wir diese Unterkunft weiter! We felt very comfortable in this cottage. It started with the welcome - the owner explained everything to us in detail and gave us tips. The cottage was clean, with everything we needed and had enough space for a family with 2 teenagers. The cottage is well located for exploring Exeter, Dartmoor and the wider area. However, you need a car. We definitely recommend this accommodation!
