Guests say

Hayway Cottage in South Brent, Devon, is praised for its cleanliness, well-equipped nature, and friendly owners. Guests enjoyed the peaceful wildlife garden and found the location ideal for exploring Dartmoor and the coast. The welcoming touches, such as homemade cakes, were appreciated, though one review mentioned a steep driveway and unexpected sheep in the garden.

The cottage is consistently described as very clean, with multiple reviews affirming its tidiness and well-kept condition.

The location is highly regarded for its proximity to local beaches, Dartmoor, and National Trust properties, although one review cited the driveway and nearby sheep as minor inconveniences.

Guests found the cottage comfortable, mentioning efficient heating and a blissful shower. The peaceful garden also contributed to the overall comfort.

Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen and useful information provided for walks. However, one review mentioned early morning disturbances and confusion about rubbish disposal, slightly affecting the score.

While guests appreciated the homemade cakes and local advice, as gifts are not consistently mentioned across all reviews, it is not guaranteed that such thoughtfulness is a standard offering for all guests.

    Sally and Anthony were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed visiting National Trust garden & spending time on the beautiful South Hams beaches. The EV charging facility was a boon, it would be great if more properties had this facility. We would definitely return again

    The driveway is a total nightmare. It’s very steep and you have to turn very sharply in to it from a narrow lane. There was no mention of sheep in the field directly behind the property that belonged to someone else who we found wandering around what we thought was solely our garden doing gardening and feeding the sheep. This was quite disconcerting. The owners woke us on the day after we arrived banging around in the garage which was under our bedroom quite early and unfortunately my girlfriend’s birthday. They were going on holiday and getting prepared. Rubbish had to be put behind owners property not in the bins outside our property which seemed strange. South Brent is a good base for a holiday in Decon but the actual property is not very convenient due to issues above.

    The owners, who live next door, are welcoming but not intrusive.
