We had the best weekend! The accommodation was more than we could have hoped for and the host went above and beyond when there was an incident with part of the decking falling through - instantly came over to check that everyone was ok, had it fixed the very next morning and then came back later that day with a bottle of champagne and some steak foRead morer the barbecue which with so so lovely of her. We would definitely come back! Hide

Lovely cabin and view over the Devon hills. The place is very well equipped and the bed was really comfy. We really enjoyed BBQs on the veranda. Ideal location for visiting gorgeous beaches and cute towns.

An ideal base for the coast 10 minutes away, quiet and relaxing with a village shop a few minutes walk away using safe footpaths as the road can be very busy. Wonderful view towards Dartmoor with lovely decking and furniture. plenty of places to visit within 10 miles. A very good pub for food and drink in the village The Olde Smokey House, very dogRead more friendly and great food and good sized portions. Hide
