The cottage is very comfortable and is well situated for access to the beach nearby. Also situated in a quiet neighbourhood. Shops and pubs nearby.

Had a lovely stay at this property, the accessible bathroom had appropriate equipment which was really helpful. Because of the wheelchair we had to drive to most places to explore, however the owners of the property were really helpful in letting us know good places to go that were accessible.

This is perfect for local walks with the dogs. Coastal walks on your doorstep. It's close to the main road to Dawlish and Teignmouth. Plenty of supermarkets to choose from. We took our 86 year old mother. It was accessible for her. Wet room and spacious for her zimmer or wheel chair. Enclosed garden for the dogs. Friendly owners live upstairs.

The cottage does seem to be a work in progress, it's very good,in terms of space for people with accessibility problems,but small things like no electrical socket on one side of the bed is disappointing. It's generally well equipped, everything you need, but access to a large broom would have been useful, we had our dog with us, and like to keep onRead more top of the dog hair. There was a slight problem with garden security, our dog managed to access next door twice, but easily remedied. Hide

A cosy home from home ideally located for seeing the attractions of Devon and Dartmoor. Furnishings and equipment made our stay with a mobility challenged person a very pleasant week.
