We loved our stay at Culm Cottage. It was perfectly located for us, well equipped and beautifully cosy. The owners went above and beyond to ensure we had everything needed, including deliveries of firewood on a particularly chilly week.

The cottage has been decorated and finished beautifully whilst still keeping its charm. Dogs are very welcome and there is plenty of space to exercise them in the adjoining fields owned by them. Its very easy to explore the area from this cottage

A very comfortable cosy cottage. Ideal for a few days stay in the area. The attached field is very handy for dog walks night and morning. Our spaniel loved to run in the long grass. Cottage situated in small village with easy access to north and south coasts. Knightshayes N.T. is worth a visit .

Convient and comfortable location for exploring Devon. Lovely place for those of us with a dog with a field to play in and walks on the doorstep. The directions to the cottage in the final email left a bit to be desired.

A well-appointed cottage in a sweet village outside Cullompton. A good co-op store a short drive away and a small local shop and a very pretty church.
