What our customers say about their holidays

  The house was generally very warm and comfortable, and it was very clean when we arrived.

  We enjoyed the views from the lounge and master bedroom, despite the somewhat grey and damp weather! The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans etc, and the welcome cream tea was lovely! The king size bed was extremely comfortable but the two single beds were quite soft so our parents found their backs aching a bit by the end of the week. It would be helpful to include in the property description that the lounge is upstairs - this is not currently in the listing (I re-checked) and we may have thought twice about booking had we known, as we travelled with elderly parents who struggle with stairs. The sofa was quite low and soft which again, made it difficult for the older members of our party. There were plenty of items in the property to provide entertainment (both indoor and outdoor) which is throughtful, plus a folder full of detailed local information. The TV and washing machine were quite old - they did work but we are used more modern (and have experienced better in other holiday cottages) but overall, this house provided what we needed for an early break away.

  Wow! Where do I start?! We have stayed in cottages all over the country and this gem of a place has been the best! Lovely helpful owners who told us about some fantastic place to visit. The welcome hamper was amazing and the freshest eggs from the cottages new chickens! The cottage was so comfortable and cosy and had everything you could possibly need, set in a stunning little village. The walks from the cottage were superb. If you don’t fancy cooking there are numerous places nearby to eat for example Millers farm shop for breakfast and snacks and a little shopping, to Tuckers thatched pub just a few miles away. I would recommend River Cottage Kitchen in Axminster for an evening meal, delicious! Over all I would absolutely return to this cottage. We simply did not want to leave! Thank you 😊

  Really nice cottage, although all on different levels the rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Bathroom was beautiful, but in the basement, this meant having to navigate the winding narrow staircase down two floors from the bedroom, definitely not for the faint hearted or anybody slightly infirm. Superb welcome hamper was very welcome. Safe easy parking for the car. Small but well kept village location, nothing there but the Kings Arms pub, which was very welcoming serving good food and dogs welcome. Long drive to anywhere of interest along narrow twisting lanes for miles. Craig who met and us on arrival proved to be a very good and always on hand when needed. Overall a pleasurable three day stay. Fully recommended, but not for anybody unsteady on the legs because of the stairs.

  Cottage has been beautifully renovated to a very high standard and was spotlessly clean. There is a large, stylish bath but inadequate supply of hot water to fill it. Kitchen sink took ages to fill and water was only warm, not hot, so difficult to wash up. We knew the kitchen would be compact but there was nowhere to store food supplies which is not really good enough in a cottage that is supposedly self catering. No ability to adjust central heating thermostat or timing - cottage was cold on arrival which created a poor initial impression. Log fire not very effective and smoked badly. This could be a stunning cottage but is let down by shortcomings in basic facilities.

  Beautiful spot to stay with our two dogs.

  Lovely clean accommodation with a comfortable, large bed. The kitchen was well equipped for any self catering and there was a welcome scone and cream tea on our arrival. The house is mid-way between Beer (10mins) and Seaton (15mins) walk. There's a large supermarket in Seaton, 5 mins drive if you need provisions and a small village shop in Beer if you need emergency milk. Plenty of pubs in the local area and most shops and pubs are dog friendly. We walked to Branscombe which was very pleasant and had a lovely meal and drink by the beach, followed by a stroll back through the countryside. Thoroughly recommended
