What our customers say about their holidays

  The cottage was beautiful and it was literally a home from home in terms of the facilities and thoughtful touches provided by the owners to make our stay comfortable.

  This included a lovely welcome pack with essentials like milk and tea bags, plus a few luxuries in the form of Prosecco and scones plus jam and clotted cream....oh, and treats for the dog! There were seven adults in our group, which did mean that one had to sleep in a bunk bed, but nevertheless we were very comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean and the cottage was fully equipped with all the appliances you would have at home. Woodbury is a very pretty village, with two main pubs a few minutes' walk away. The White Hart were very accommodating of our dog and the food there was really good. There's a local store and a takeaway, also both within a few minutes' walk of the cottage. Topsham, about a 10 minute drive away, has more pubs and restaurants to choose from, and the coast is also a very short drive from the cottage. Overall it was a perfect location for exploring Devon and a very lucky last minute find enabling us to get away as a family for the Bank Holiday weekend.

  Lovely modern cottage, immaculately clean, well furnished, with a great kitchen/diner and very comfortable.

  The bed is super comfy and we slept very well. The central heating was excellent for the exceptionally cold weather, so the cottage was lovely and warm. The wood burner in the lovely lounge was a wonderful feature and it always started first time. The owner was very nice and welcoming, and made a point of visiting us to ensure that we were comfortable. Aylesbeare is a lovely peaceful village, with walks from the cottage. The Nightjar Inn next door is a real benefit, being very quiet and we didn't hear any noise. It has a great atmosphere and serves very good food and drinks. We had an excellent Sunday Lunch. One of the best holiday cottages we've stayed in and will definitely return . Thank you for a great holiday.

  1 Castle Cottages was recently renovated and so the kitchen and bathroom/shower room were modern and very comfortable.

  It is well situated in the delightful village of Woodbury. One minor criticism is that the master bedroom has a sloping ceiling which wasn't mentioned and it was very difficult to get in and out of bed without hitting your head on the ceiling although that minor discomfort would not put us off booking the cottage again. There were lots of extra little touches like the complimentary sparkling wine and cream tea. It was extremely clean and comfortable and would not hesitate in recommending it for a family stay. 8 people for any length of time may find it a little cramped as it's two or three tiny cottages converted into one.

  Olive Tree Cottage is a beautifully well kept warm cosy cottage.

  It is by far the best holiday cottage we have stayed in. The beds were so comfortable. Just what you need for a good nights sleep. Very well equipped with all that you would need and the welcome pack was much appreciated on arrival. The cottage had that homely feeling the minute we opened the door. A good location for visiting costal areas like Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth, Topsham and many more interesting places. It was very nice to meet Hilary (the owner) who took the time to check all was well with us both. Thank you for a lovely week in your cottage despite the rain and hope to return next year.

  Most comfortable cottage set in rural north Devon. Located down narrow country lane, with lovely views over local farmland. Cottage sits adjacent to owners property with living/kitchen downstairs and large tastefully furnished bedroom and large en suite upstairs. A number of low beams downstairs so taller guests may need to mind their head. Cottage is well equipped with electric hob/cooker and fridge, with freezer and washing facilities in an adjoining utility room. Owner lives on site and was most welcoming and helpful. Would happily revisit.
