We had a good holiday in South Devon. The cottage is central for access to most of the South Hams. The dogs loved the garden which is large and secure

The cottage had everything one could wish for. The owners Mr & Mrs Morgan could not have been more helpful. They provided us with information on local amenities and routes to take. We would highly recommend this property to anyone particularly if they have a dog. Our dog absolutely loved exploring the large garden. We will definitely return at someRead more point in the future.

The cottage is peaceful and remote, but not too far from sights and shops. The enclosed garden is great for dogs too

Garden Cottage is in a lovely peaceful location, an ideal getaway from the hustle and bustle, but with easy access to Dartmouth and Plymouth. Lovely beaches at Slapton and Bigbury The owners, Mr and Mrs Morgan are charming hosts and very helpful making our stay an absolute joy. A number of dog walks nearby. Kingsbridge has much to offer the visitorRead more with excellent shops and supermarkets. Visitors should take care on the narrow lanes. The WiFi and mobile phone signal is poor. No problem! Hide
