  This is the best cottage with roses around the door and marmalade to boost your spirits!

  Where do we start? It is situated in a lovely peaceful village, just the sound of occasional church bells and a cockerel. The cottage is beautiful with everything you would need. Excellent wifi inside the cottage and the tv has plenty of freeview channels. Beds comfortable indeed. If you want a quiet time away from reality you have found it. Huge garden which our dog Mabel loved. We found ourselves outside every morning for coffee and breakfast listening to the wood pigeons. On arrival the most fantastic supply of items left for you including home made bread, lemon drizzle cake, jam and marmalade plus other items. When I say marmalade i really mean the best ultimate thick cut heaven on this earth. Kit is a very good chef indeed. We made use of the "Kit will cook for you" on our arrival day. We said what we wanted as a menu and he cooked it to perfection. Penny and Kit are awesome hosts, there if you need them and not intrusive in any way. Lovely friendly couple. We thoroughly recommend this property as a way of recharging batteries in life. Great for visiting Torbay, Dartmouth, Salcombe etc. Advice : Read the instructions attending the property beforehand as there is no phone signal outside or inside the property. Phones can use the very good wifi for calls etc once logged on.

  The holiday annex was situated in a perfect location, not more than ten minutes from the sea and Dartmouth.

  The local store not far away and in the village post office had all the items one would need to be self sufficient. Even down to the birthday card left at home for the wife. The break was for a period of one week and unfortunately weather this year wasn’t to kind and ment only one day on the beach at Slapton sands. The unfortunate situation was our blind dog who developed cataract a week earlier caught his toe nail in the shingles at the annex and needed veterinary care immediately back home. But we enjoyed the three days at the annex before returning home early. We would certainly recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting to visit south Devon. My only critique would be to lay artificial grass instead of shingles in the garden to prevent small dogs tripping or stumbling.

  Lovely small bungalow accommodation, just right for two people.

  Situated down a country lane, so very peaceful, but only a few miles from Dartmouth and the coast. Ideal for visiting South Devon. Both Torquay and Plymouth are around an hour away, with plenty of other small towns and other attractions within that range. There are quite a few National Trust properties in the area, so having a membership to the NT is a good idea. Another good trip is to visit Buckfast Abbey, its a lovely peaceful location. The only issue we had with the accommodation was due to my wife's poor mobility.she struggled on the small stones used outside the property for the outdoor seating area and also the two steps up to the property itself as there is no rail to hold onto. Will definitely consider the property again next time we are holidaying in the area.

  Cornworthy is a wonderful place to visit - if you enjoy peace, unpolluted night skies, natural beauty, walks along the river and loads of great pubs and restaurants just a short drive away.

  Court Prior Cottage is just perfect and I'm delighted to have found it and booked it (we had originally booked for December 2020, but Covid rules forced us to postpone until June, and it worked out just fine). The cottage has been beautifully and stylishly renovated, with interesting paintings and pictures, very comfortable sofas and beds, loads of books, everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and a pretty, enclosed garden. Our welcome pack included cake, eggs, milk, and a bottle of wine; which was a real treat. We book a lot of UK cottages and in many, we are lucky if we are given a J-cloth and some washing up liquid! With such fabulous walks from the door, we didn't want to leave and hope very much to return.

  A truly wonderful little cottage, very cosy and furnished to a very high standard.

  The owners, next door, were very friendly and helpful and supplied us with a fab welcome pack and lots of little extras. The enclosed front garden was also great for our two pooches. Fantastic walks from the cottage was a real bonus. Apart from the terrible weather, which is just life, we had a great stay. Shame the local pub was shut during our week but hey, it was January and I know a lot do close during this time. If I had to find a negative, it would be that we really needed a bit more space to hang very wet coats, leggings and dry off boots etc as the entrance porch was not heated and we worried about hanging all this in the main living area. Apart from that we couldn’t fault it.
