Lovely cottage. Great location. Wouldnt recommend to anyone with children or dogs as the low wall has a deep drop on the other side. Had to keep dogs tied up for safety. Wall needs a railing for safety. Otherwise we had a great stay in a beautiful cottage.

Absolutely brilliant, loved every moment and genuinely lost track of time, sad to have to leave and would love to have stayed longer. Will be adding to favourites and booking again.

I think if I tell you we have stayed in Williams Cottage 3 times now and already booked it for next year you might understand how nice this cottage is. The views from the garden, kitchen, bedrooms and lounge are amazing, we watched for dolphins and porpoises all week but still didn't see them. The cottage is cosy yet not small. The walk down to theRead more quiet beach is wonderful It is perfectly situated to visit some lovely tourist attractions and places. We love reading about the history of Bucks Mills and its people. I would have no hesitation in recommending Williams Cottage, its like a piece of heaven. Hide

Beautiful cottage in a very quaint little village . Very homely and comfortable. Could have done with some extra blankets on the beds as was December and very windy .

A very pretty cottage in a truly lovely location. The cottage has one of the best positions in an unspoilt large hamlet tucked away on the edge of a temperate rainforest and overlooking the sea. Would benefit from a little more basic equipment and a few repairs.

This place is unreal, we had an amazing week celebrating my partners 40th birthday. The cake on arrival was a beautiful touch and I now desperately want a coffee machine.

Stunning location, loved looking at the sea on both a calm and stormy day. Comfortable well equipped cottage in a quiet part of Devon well placed to visit nearby beaches and attractions.
