Lovely cottage in ideal location for us. Parking not a problem in November. Cottage is well equipped and always warm and homely. Owners are quick to resolve any potential problems (we couldn't find the bath towels!). One phone call and all was resolved. Our third time of using the cottage, what's not to like.

We really enjoyed our stay, the cottage was warm, cosy and welcoming. The bed was really comfortable. The kitchen is a delight to cook in. We loved the location, so close to the river, the village of Shaldon has pubs, cafe, shop, butcher and gift shops. The ferry to Teignmouth nearby.

A very comfortable cottage in a great location. The only downside is the lack of parking. We knew of the problem before we booked the cottage as we had stayed before. Fortunately, it being November, we found a space each evening a short walk away but it could be a problem in the summer months. A good welcome pack on arrival. on the whole an excelleRead morent, well equipped cottage at a reasonable price. Hide

The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable. The provision of the cream tea and the milk was very much appreciated. The local information was also very helpful.
