  Lovely and warm, very clean and I slept like a log on comfy mattress.

  Thankyou for the treats and for the good weather. I missed having the pretty Poole teapot which I always used but Poole is now collectible so perhaps wisely rescued for it’s safety. Maybe a replacement for leaf tea fans? Can recommend little coffee shop in Modbury car park, The Ship in at Noss Mayo and a quick trip to the Nkuku place near Totnes if you like interiors. Smart sofas but low. I needed to pile up cushions on seat and back to be almost comfortable in the evening. Good tv and WiFi though. Some problems which included a very warped front door which was hard to open and close as well as being very noisy. Fortunately no one in other cottages! There was something wrong with the bathroom light which took a while to respond to pull cord, flashed too strongly when turned on and was super bright - perhaps an electrical fault or bulb too high wattage? I didn’t use it at all, especially as in a bathroom with no extractor. Just left door open. Bathroom radiator only ever hot at the bottom suggesting it needed bleeding but could not find key. This is not a new problem so not sure why it has not been replaced if it cannot be bled. All issues reported to C and C in Salcombe as well as note left for housekeeping. Otherwise I had a good week and was lucky with the weather. Thanks to C and C in Salcombe for loan of key when I locked myself out!

  Goodies on arrival very welcome so thank you.

  However cottage quite cold as heating may not have been on for a while? Took about three days to warm through. I would have appreciated the handbook for new CH controls as new digital box on landing could be confusing. Nice and clean and well equipped kitchen. However I have been here before and there has always been a contact number for the couple who look after the property but not this year. Consequently only helpline was Coast and Country whose number did not work when I tried during work hours. Not reassuring so needs to be acted on. Very disappointed that the ceiling over the lounge window leaked yet again when rain heavy, exactly as same time last year although not so bad. Owner was informed by C and C and their response was that it had happened before and needed major work to correct. Exactly what I was told last year but clearly this had not been done. (Once again the owners were out of the country). This is unfair on guests, some of whom who return in good faith that the property has been repaired and will be properly maintained. I would advise any new potential guests in winter to check with C and C that the roof work needed has been carried out. I would like to return if this is attended to. Thank you.

  This cottage was within 20 miles of many pretty beaches and it was only a few minutes drive to the SW Coast path.

  There is also a really lovely riverside walk within walking distance. Not to be missed. Also local woods. The cottage has lovely views from the upstairs sitting room and was in a very quiet village. Very clean. The kitchen/dining and seating area has lots of natural light and was a nice space to sit in the evening as we could not eat in restaurants due to COVID during our stay. The enclosed garden is lovely to sit in when the sun is shining, which it did every day for our holiday in April! In previous reviews the bathroom was described as very small, it is small, like an en-suite, but was perfectly adequate for us ( husband is 6 ft). Hosts were friendly, but we hardly saw them. They did kindly provide us with Milk, bread, fresh eggs, honey jam and marmalade, which was really nice and we saw their hens every morning around the grounds, the eggs were very tasty. We have stayed in many cottages and we loved this one for the location especially, it was a very relaxing stay. We felt very safe everywhere we visited, COVID guidelines were well adhered to. Thank you.

  We loved this cottage!

  Looked tiny from outside but inside spacious and comfy. The kitchen was one of the best equipped we have found, as we have learned over the years to always take a sharp knife which this time stayed in its bag. The view of the sea from the bedroom was gorgeous, as was the big comfy bed. A tiny thing - maybe a little gate so that you can let dogs out in the garden for a late night pee? However 2 garden chairs across the gap did the job. No longer a pub in the village which is a shame but thank you to Ash at the Pickwick which became our local - we made use of the roaring fire every day! Please be aware if you stay out of season - there are no paths or street lighting, take care if walking in the village - but loads of public footpaths around for dog walking. Lastly - best food of the week at the Oyster Shack and beautiful ancient Journeys End pub at Ringmore - again take care walking down from the car park in the dark! Thank you again for a great stay x
