“It was an amazing Cottage.”

The kids loved exploring in the woods next to the cottage and much fun was had playing games in the garden. The owners of the Cottage were very friendly and we would love to go back soon.

“Fabulous spot.”

Lovely and peaceful. Away from it all. Lovely property. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Mr Hyett June 2019

“Although the accommodation itself was as expected and very well presented my initial search was for a property which had a pub and a shop within a mile of the location.”

Although this property is listed as having both it had neither. We were looking forward to some pub food in the evening with a couple of glasses of wine and then walking it off getting back to the accommodation. Unfortunately both the shop and the pub were more than two miles away and although the property was excellent we would not have booked it if it had not been advertised as being less than a mile to both. Please remove the “Pub/shop < 1 mile” from the property details.

“Cottage presented to very high standard with delightful warm welcome and package from owners.”

Location perfect for exploring this part of Devon and North Cornwall, but even if you didn't leave the cottage the surroundings are fantastic, especially with access to walks and the woodland which gives great initiative to children and dogs play.
Mrs Blair April 2019

“We had an amazing week at Acorn Cottage.”

The cottage had everything we needed and was very well thought out. The owners were lovely and very welcoming. The kids loved 'Farmer Ray' who gave them a tour of the farm and answered all their questions. It's a brilliant location for exploring both Devon and Cornwall, or for doing nothing! This is by far the best holiday cottage we've stayed in and we hope to return soon.
Mrs Mason October 2018

“It was just such a fantastic Cottage.”

The kids loved the fact that you had to sleep downstairs. The owners of the Cottage were very friendly and we would love to go again.

“Beautiful cottage in peaceful location.”

“What can i say we had a good holiday”
Mr Appleby July 2018

“Great location, well equipped and extremely comfortable.”

The owners are extremely friendly and welcoming and approachable for any query. Large safe garden which was well used by both our granddaughter and our dog. Would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a property in this location
Mr Streets July 2018

“A wonderful cottage in a perfect location.”

The cottage was clean, well-equipped with plenty of room for two adults and two teenage boys. Shirley provided lovely flowers, tea and cake for our arrival. Sailing, fishing, walking and great pubs nearby.
Mrs Pratt April 2018

“Lovely cottage.”
