Very clean, a welcome pack of essentials was provided, and there are plenty of pots and pans etc enabling us to treat it as a home from home. We hope to return!

The home is clean and tidy, and looked after, has everything you need. There is plenty of room for everyone. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The garden is large and great for the dogs. Its situated on the edge of the village which has a pub and local shop with a post office. We are already planning on going again next year as there is so much to do in South Devon, looking forward to going back and staying at the bungalow.

The super king room was damp and cold the super king bed was terribly uncomfortable and sags in the middle of the mattress so clearly needs replacing. The super king room walls were mouldy which got worse as the week went on. The green room walls went mouldy by day four. Unfortunately there was dog poo left by previous holiday guests. The cottage was extremely cold on arrival no heating on arrival from a wet cold journey down. There was Lots of insects and cobwebs in every corner. Attention to detail is definitely needed. Good value for money if you are allowed the heating on would of been nice to have the heating on on arrival as it was very cold we had to turn the heating up quite high to warm the house up as it was very damp and cold in the bedrooms. Owner has control of the heating from her end which made it difficult to control the heating our end. We were contacted by the owner to ask why we had turned the heating up high. I was under the impression if you rent a property heating was included in the rent price. On arrival the rubbish bins were all full so itâs made it difficult to put our rubbish out during our stay. We were told we were not allowed the property until 3:30pm so we turned up at 3:55pm to discover the Gardner was still at the cottage which made it difficult as we needed to let the dogs out after a long journey however the Gardner was still mowing the lawn on arrival. Whilst washing up one morning the kitchen tap spout flew off and soaked myself and the kitchen luckily it was cold water. Overall a nice place space wise just needs a few updates. Also the visitor handbook needs badly updating as information is incorrect.
