Absolutely fabulous stay at this accommodation. Well appointed to a high standard and spotlessly clean.The field, though not secure, was a real bonus for dog walking.Only negatives, which are out of owners control, were WiFi is weak and road to Buckland Brewer is awful; follow owners advice and approach/leave via Stibb Cross.We'll definitely return.

Excellent cottage with 2 bedrooms. Double room an excellent size, twin room good for one adult or two children. In a very quiet location, not far from a main road. Private courtyard garden with picnic bench and a couple of comfortable outdoor chairs. Additional access to a field, also with picnic table. Kitchen is well structured with the essentials. Excellent shower room with a good shower. We would return to this cottage if going back to this area
