In a peaceful location, Passion Flower Cottage was the perfect cottage for us and our pooch. Ideally located for visiting both Devon and Cornwall. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay. The host was friendly and the homemade scones were something special - thank you.We experienced no issues cobwebs (some previous comments have mentioned this). We live in an old cottage and you have to expect them!
