Guests say
South Wing offers a tranquil stay in a rural setting, ideal for those exploring the coast path or seeking a comfortable retreat. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, the proximity to a great pub and amenities in Kingsbridge, and the thoughtful touch of a bottle of red wine and fresh eggs on arrival. While the property is part of a working farm, the privacy is notable as interaction with the owners is minimal.
The property is described as very clean and tidy, indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The location is appreciated for its tranquillity and easy access by car to local amenities, though it is not mentioned by all reviewers.
The property is generally considered comfortable, but there are concerns about heating during colder months, which affects the comfort level.
Facilities are adequate, but there are issues with maintenance such as a broken rayburn and insufficient heating resources. Cooking facilities are also noted to be challenging for larger groups.
While a bottle of red wine and fresh eggs were a delightful surprise for one guest, the lack of a welcome pack and inconsistency in providing basics like logs for the fire suggest that thoughtful touches are not guaranteed.

Had a fab 5 day break here with my dad & brother whilst walking the coast path. Cottage is part of the farmhouse on a working farm. Didn't see the owners. Handy lockbox for getting in/out. Great pub 13 minute walk away. Shop in petrol garage 5 min drive away. Kingsbridge 10 minute drive with all the amenities you need.

We had a great comfortable stay. Owner is a very genuine person & approachable. Nice bottle of red wine & fresh eggs from their farm on arrival. If your looking for comfort in a tranquil location with easy access by car to explore I would recommend. .

Only criticism is that it's the first Cottage we have ever been to with no welcome pack. Not even a pint of milk and a packet of biscuits. Never saw the owners who lived next door. Never even popped their heads in to ask if everything was OK. Never had that before. But accommodation all OK and as described.
