The most wonderful stay at Little Millhayes ❤️We honestly couldn’t have wished for a more perfect place to spend our week. The cottage is absolutely beautiful — comfortable, spacious, spotless and so incredibly well equipped. It truly felt like a home from home, and you can see how much thought and care has gone into making it such a special place.The location and surroundings are just gorgeous, peaceful and so relaxing. Most importantly, the girls were so happy, which made our week even more special. We’ve made some really lovely family memories here and have genuinely had the best time.A huge thank you to Martin and Wendy for making us feel so welcome and for all the little touches that made our stay so lovely. We really didn’t want to leave and would absolutely love to come back one day.

Cottage is large and contains everything you need. Lots of games, books and jigsaws for evening entertainment. Large, secure garden for the dog.It is rural therefore the car is a must daily to get to the many places within an hours drive.We crammed lots into our week away including Haldon Forest, Brixham, Torquay, Exmouth, Sidmouth and more. Little Millhayes is a lovely place to return to after a day exploring.
