  We arrived and were welcomed with a vase of wild flowers, milk in the fridge, plenty of tea/coffee and sugar and the best ever homemade fruit slices.

  Honey, our dog was also pleased to find a bag of dog treats waiting for her! The cottage is beautifully decorated throughout and much bigger than we expected. The beds were really comfortable and the wet room and shower in the bedrooms were perfect in every way. Everything has been thought of and a bookcase with plenty of reading material along with numerous bird identification books came in very handy. In the cupboard was a great collection of games. The wildlife in this lovely remote spot is amazing and kept us entertained for hours. We were really delighted to see three deer in the garden one morning, a great spotted woodpecker and a nuthatch. The strategically placed bird tables were always full of feathered visitors and we just had to sit on the comfortable sofas and look out of the French doors or go out on the balcony to see them. A pair of binoculars and a torch was also provided. We would have been happy to just stay and relax in the cottage, but actually found it to be an ideal central location for visiting the surrounding areas like Honiton, Seaton and Lyme Regis. The owners were excellent hosts and we felt honoured to be allowed to stay in their wonderful cottage. We will definitely be returning and are already recommending it to our family and friends.

  For a cottage that will accommodate 4 people, there were only 2 chairs in the garden.

  The garden was overgrown and had an upturned wheelbarrow as a back gate which our dog nearly lept over. There was no welcome information left for us which would have been nice. There was an innocuous looking basket on the floor in the sitting room which contained some details about the local area - we didn't notice this until the last evening of our stay. This would have been better served if it were left by the visitor book. It would have been nice to have some history of the cottage i.e. age, original use, old photos etc. This could have been made as a wall hanging or even just some laminated sheets left on the table for occupants to read. The bolt off the bottom half of the stable door was missing which meant we couldn't leave it open for ventilation as the dog would dissappear into the insecure garden. The cottage has potential but the owners need to invest more time & effort into it

  Very steep stairs to first floor and steep stairs to main bedroom not mentioned in property details although uneven floors are which is good.

  The property should not be described as having 2 bathrooms as there is only one bathroom and a very small en-suite shower room. Very disappointing to find that the pub mentioned in the details is closed which was very inconvenient as we’d planned to eat there and having to do food shops took time out of our holiday. Having said all that the cottage was well equipped with quality white goods and oven and the bedding was spotless. The milk and bread which was provided for our arrival was most welcome and a lovely surprise to find. We didn’t use the garden but it was exceptionally pretty and had lots of birds which was pleasing. I would like to suggest that a hairdryer would be a very useful item to offer. All in all a great little cottage in an extremely quiet area close to A303 and A30 and considering the cottage is terraced there was no noise nuisance from any of the other cottages.

  A lovely cottage ideal if you are looking for a place to get away from it all.

  Situated in a remote position, quiet and peaceful. The cottage was very comfortable, warm, clean, spacious and very well equipped. Fresh baked buns provided by our hosts were a welcome surprise, and delicious. The days prior to our visit had been awful, several days of torrential rain and strong winds, so we were unable to explore our immediate surrounding area, incredibly wet and muddy, much to my dogs disappointment. However, we made up for it by taking her to Lyme Regis, a dog friendly resort, which was very enjoyable, even warm and sunny! To sit and look out over the valley and gardens was an absolute joy with the added enjoyment of watching in close up, a huge variety of birds on feeders, including two Woodpeckers. Sadly our visit was cut short, but we have no hesitation recommending this cottage, and hope to return in the future.

  Great location for touring around Devon, close to Lyme Regis and an A road that can take you East or West of there.

  Property is just off a quiet country lane, but close enough to main roads. It's part of a terrace of 3 properties, each with their own parking space. Layout inside is good with a seating area, dining table, small but well equiped kitchen, bedrooms and a bathroom. The heating is locked and controlled by the owners, which was a bit awkward when we got back late at night to a cold cabin - but we made the best of it. I'd recommend this venue for couples or solo travellers but not families. The outside area has small individually fenced off areas to sit in the sunshine, however there is no privacy between the terraced cabins - so it could be quite difficult with a reactive dog or when the neighbours are chatty but you want to just sit and relax.
