    The cottage was very nice and clean. Great beds, fully functional kitchen. Big heated swimming pool.

  • Charlie

    Lovely accommodation and fantastic swimming pool that the kids loved.

  • Celia

    The swimming pool is heated to 26 degrees, so really pleasant. The cottage is about ten miles from Sidmouth but it states that it is about 6.5 miles, on the website. There are some very nice restaurants nearby. A very good venue for a holiday.
