Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests frequently commend the cottage for its immaculate condition, noting it as 'very clean and comfortable' with 'everything spotless'. The high standard of cleanliness contributes significantly to the positive experiences reported.
The location is appreciated for its tranquillity and natural beauty, ideal for restful holidays and exploring Devon. However, some guests mention the challenge of navigating narrow lanes, which slightly impacts the score.
Reviews highlight the cottage's cosy atmosphere and comfortable furnishings, including a very comfortable bed. The peaceful surroundings also contribute to the overall comfort of the stay.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped cottage and high-quality fittings. A few minor suggestions for improvement, such as more cutlery and a larger TV, prevent a perfect score.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome treats and provisions for guests. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches, although delightful, are not guaranteed with every stay.
