There were a couple of issues with the property (main one was cleanliness of kitchen utensils & equipment). These issues were dealt with very well by the owners.The property details stated that the property had an induction hob but it did not.Otherwise the property was comfortable and as advertised. The ev charging worked well for us.

Confirmed Guest
The cottage was lovely and clean and very well equipped. It was situated about two miles from shops and pubs in Bovey Tracy and less than that to the very good Claycutters Arms in Chudleigh Knighton. The only thing that stopped it being perfect was that it was very overlooked from the front. We greatly appreciated the fan provided!
