What our customers say about their holidays

• Mr Quayle - Verified booking

  Most of our many holidays over more than 50 years have been in self-catering accommodation - both in the UK and abroad. I think that Cedars Lodge is probably the best equipped and most comfortable we have stayed at. Entrance is through the kitchen, which is spacious and with everything even the most demanding of cooks might need: cooker with infra red hob, dishwasher, microwave oven, stick blender etc etc. The stock of cutlery and crockery is very generous for a two-person accommodation. The end of the kitchen has an area containing a breakfast bar and the washing machine/dryer. Our two rescue dogs were very happy to be bedded down in this snug space. The kitchen has a door leading into a square area in the middle of the house, with a coat stand, cabinet and doors leading into the bedroom, bathroom and lounge. The spacious bathroom has a wet-room style shower and heated towel rail, plus the usual. The bedroom has a king-sized bed with a firm, comfortable mattress, and fitted cupboards, drawers and dressing tables. Each side of the bed has a small cabinet and bright bedside light. The lounge has a leather covered suite comprising a three seat and two seat settees, plus and armchair. The TV provides Sky, Netflix and Prime. The broadband WiFi worked well. A windowed door from the lounge leads to the dining/sun lounge area which faces South East, with views over the hillside beyond, so it gets a lot of sun in the morning and is a nice spot to have afternoon tea. There is a dining table with four chairs. The windows have blinds for use in case the sun gets too powerful. The sun lounge has a door leading onto the patio area, which has tables and chairs for al fresco dining and a fire pit style barbecue. The grassy area is a bit smaller than it might appear from the pictures of the property, but perfectly adequate for dogs to do what dogs need to do. Overall, the accommodation is to a very high standard. It is warm, comfortable, pleasing to the eye and surprisingly spacious for just two people. The friendly owners, live in the attached house and gave us a very warm welcome as well as much useful advice about the local area. There are a dozen or so beaches and country walks within half an hour's drive, great places to eat, supermarkets, pubs and tea rooms for traditional Devon cream teas with mega-scones (but don't forget: cream on first, then the jam!)

  Perfect place for a relaxing break. The place was extremely well-equipped with everything you could possibly need, super clean, great secure garden for the dogs and beautifully decorated. We have two dogs so finding places that accept two of them, but which is also comfortable and allows us an enjoyable stay can sometimes be a little tricky (most places that accept two dogs tend to be a little more basic in their decor but we want a relaxing, comfy break too!), and this totally hit the mark. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone (with or without dogs) - it has ample space for two people and the owners are on hand if you need anything, but yet don't disturb you otherwise. THANK YOU for a super lovely week.

  What a fantastic find! The property was exceptional, it was clean, inviting and had everything needed in all rooms. The kitchen had everything from a mixer to make cakes, down to tea, coffee and milk. The bed was very comfortable, and the sun room offered a stunning view and access to the enclosed garden. The whole area was quiet and calm; ideal for a relaxing holiday, which is exactly what we wanted. This was our first ever holiday with a dog and we spent long hours on the beach playing in the sea and sand, followed by sightseeing, and restful time in the accommodation. The owners are lovely and on hand to help. I would highly recommend the property, and will be looking to return in the near future.

  We visited the cottage in January and of prime importance for us was to be warm and comfortable and to know that the dogs were welcome and catered for. We were not disappointed in any way. This cottage is in a super location for exploring the local area. It has several large dog friendly beaches nearby. The accommodation was amazing, very tastefully and comfortably furnished. It was spotlessly clean had a large comfy bed, plenty of hot water and everything you could need was provided. The garden was small but well fenced. The hosts were very friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had all we needed. Fabulous place to stay

  This is by far the best holiday home I have ever stayed in, if I was asked to give a score out of ten it would be TEN. There was everything you ever wish for, washing/dryer machine is the first one that has ever worked, all my washing was done so I was able to continue relaxing at home,once the cases were unpacked. Views from the conservatory were stunning both day and night. Bedroom and bedding was so comfortable and welcoming. Have never seen so many coat hangers ! The wet room was ideal, what more can I say, other than thank you to Gale & Steve you have a wonderful property, we hope to visit again soon.
