Carl
It had everything that we needed for our mini-break in Devon. The welcome gift, including fresh eggs and the chocolate brownie cake (which was delicious and greatly appreciated) was a lovely touch. The instructions for finding the property were very clear and the instructions left in the cottage for appliances etc were clear and helpful. We would definitely highly recommend Grange Cottage if you are looking to stay in this area.

Very clean with good facilities for self catering providing all that you need. Thank you for the lovely welcome items. Loved the brownie. Used as a base to explore parts of Devon and Cornwall and also good to have a local walk to not use the car on one of the days. Would recommend.
