  • Eve

    Very comfortable beds and all good utensils. We just had a problem with the front door lock so had to use the side door for the entire stay, which wasn’t a problem. Hopefully it’s sorted now.

  • Tim

    On a couple of minor points: - Key safe was difficult to access due to all the bushes around it - Would have been helpful to have a bigger coffee table in the lounge

  • Kim

    Excellent cottage, listing exactly as stated on website. Easy access to Exmouth and Exeter City Centre. Will definitely be looking at returning.
