Property was very well equipped to feel like home from home. Very clean and well kept. Hot tub was the cleanest we have ever had on a holiday. Gardens secure and well maintained. Host was extremely helpful and friendly. The 8ft gap in to the car parking area looks smaller than actually is but plenty of room to park and turn the car around even wheRead moren both cottages are in use. I would recommend this property and location to anybody looking to explore the coast, lots of places to visit. If you book I also recommend the broom sculpture gardens, well worth a visit and dogs and young children are safe to run freely. Views are spectacular. One of the best uk holidays I have had Hide

What a glorious weekend in the seclusion of the Devonshire countryside. The lack of mobile signal was a blessing but the Wi-Fi was more than capable of handling the demands of the kids devices. If you are lucky enough to be there on a clear night, jump in the hot tub, turn off the patio lights and look up!

The property and location were lovely and very dog friendly. The owners were very friendly and were able to suggest places for us to visit. Everything was very clean and the hot tub was an added bonus!
