The cottage was pleasant and the garden was lovely for the dog. Owners friendly. Had trouble finding the property to begin with, but it's not far to visit surrounding areas.

Although the owners we very friendly the property was not as clean as it should be. With no phone signal the property really does need WiFi.

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.
