Good location for exploring the local area but typical Devon narrow lanes leading to the property. Thankfully very little traffic on them! Clean and well equipped. Thank you.

A lovely cottage in idylic location in the Devonshire countryside. Ideally located for visiting the multitude of towns in this area such as Dartmouth and Torquay and the cities of Exeter and Plymouth. 10/15 minute walk for the bus to Plymouth, Paignton and Newton Abbot. Extremley comfortable cottage with every facility for a great holiday. Highly recommended.
