Rose Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at Rose Cottage and would definitely recommend it.

It’s in a great location for exploring Devon and Cornwall, it’s a lovely size inside, has great decor and the hot tub was a really nice addition to come back to after a busy day!

We had a lovely stay at Rose Cottage.

Situated perfectly for visiting Dartmoor and the Tors. Had a day trip out to Bude and also Teignmouth. The Cottage was great, I do think it should be noted on the listing that although dog friendly they are not allowed upstairs. We found it clean and comfortable. Bed a bit squeaky but no big deal. Yes the mattress is soft but we found it fine. The traffic is noticeable at certain times but nothing major and to be expected where the cottage is situated. The driveway and parking take a little attention and its definitely best reversing in! Part of the garden was lovely but some was overgrown and I get its a countryside garden but bench was unusable due to overgrown ferns and outside dining area had bird mess everywhere. Maybe a check on these before guests arrive so they are clean and usable. We sat outside in the stoned courtyard area alot which was a lovely sun trap in the afternoon but did use our own chairs. Overall we loved it and would visit again.

We loved the properties seclusion and close proximity to the ToRs for some good walking.

It was very well equipped to make it feel homely and my doggo loved it. The hot-tub was welcomed after a day of walking, and I loved the bath in the master. Our only gripes would be that the mirror on the driveway hadn’t been cleaned and is in need of a good scrub as even our efforts didn’t much improve visibility. If, like us, you’re used to sleeping on a concrete- like mattress at home, you may struggle as the mattress in the master is VERY soft and finally, but warned that the lounge gets very Smokey when the fire is lit!! We would definitely come back though.

Beautiful cottage, charming features throughout , hot tub was definitely an added bonus especially after a day sightseeing/walking.

The only small disappointment we found was the road noise if you decided to spend the day at the cottage. But on the whole we had a really lovely and chilled out week definitely book again

This place is an absolute hidden gem!

It is full of luxury and comfort, and was perfect for our relaxing holiday. The welcome pack of biscuits, milk and crisps was a lovely little gesture and meant we could enjoy a cup of tea on arrival after the long drive down. The cottage was so homely and warm, and really was like a home from home. The open fire in the living room was so cosy on an evening - our little bulldog loved curling up beside it. The fire in the snug was also just as good, and was great for playing some of the games that were in there. The hot tub was amazing, and was an absolute treat to just relax with a glass of wine on an evening. The garden is beautiful and so secluded (even though it is beside a busy road). The bedrooms were a great size, and a free-standing bath in the master bedroom was a dream! The bed frame was very creaky on every turn, but the mattress was so deep and comfortable, you didn’t move much in the night, just wake up super fresh the following morning. The busy road does create some noise but it did not affect our stay at all. We visited Okehampton almost daily, the shops were lovely and all the local people are super friendly. Simmons Park was a firm favourite place for our little furbaby. All in all, this place is the best place we’ve ever stayed, and we cannot wait to book to return next year.

Faultless.

everything you would need and more.

Comfortable cottage overall.

I found mattress too soft. Good Kitchen appliances. Lovely bath and shower. Welcome pack appreciated The parking was challenging being in the bend however reversing in was definitely safest option.

Our stay at Rose Cottage was perfect.

The cottage itself has everything we could have needed, was very clean and tidy. Outdoors, the garden was beautiful with lots of different plants and flowers (the roses were in full bloom and gave a wonderful charm to the area), including the herb garden. The hot tub was the highlight to our stay, and including the Bluetooth speaker was a very welcome addition. Traffic noise was there, however we didn't find it detrimental to our stay. I'd highly recommend Rose Cottage for anyone looking for a perfect chilled break with family/friends.

We really enjoyed our time at Rose Cottage.

It is a beautiful cottage inside and out. We found the facilities to be excellent. We ate in most nights and the kitchen was well equipped, although a lack of cutlery. The lounge was comfortable and snuggly with a roaring fire. We loved the hot tub and made use of it most nights. We had an issue with the heating upstairs in the bedrooms which is on a separate system. The down stairs is all underfloor heating which is excellent. The upstairs heating wouldn't kick in and seemed to be on a timer. The rooms went down to 10 degrees when we woke in the morning. We contacted Charlie who took it off the timer but it took 3 days of the heating being on permanently to finally get up to 18 degrees. The only issue we found with the property was the busy road right outside. The cars at night race past so fast and can be so loud through the vents on the windows. I had to buy some ear plugs to help sort this. We would recommend Rose Cottage as we had a lovely stay and visited some lovely places and quality pubs throughout the area.

Absolutely idyllic, picture perfect and quaint cottage, with amble space for a lovely winter week getaway from city living.

The cottage was extremely cosy, lovely roaring fires with ample wood kindly supplied by owner. Also, we had a lovely welcome treat of Devonshire cream tea upon arrival, thank you, Charlie, very kind to indeed. The beds/bedding was very comfortable and cosy, underfloor heating was a great hit with our travel cat, who spent most of its time sprawled out on the conservatory floor!! This room was wonderful for breakfast and reading, and we spend the few evenings playing board games we found available here too. The hot tub on the cold winter nights was luxuriating, and was very much in use ! We used herbs we found growing in the garden in some of our cooking, adding to the total comfort of cottage life. We also found the cottage to be a great base for exploring, National Trust Castle Drogo, less than 25mts away, and Dartmoor National Park walks. We also found a beautiful restaurant Bearslake Inn for scrumptious dinner, and The Tors pub with great hearty food after a great walk on the Moors, only a mere 15mts drive away from the cottage. Summing up, Rose cottage ticked more boxes than we had even wished for, we loved the property and highly recommend those wishing an idyllic get away in such a beautiful thatched cottage. Thank you Charlie for your hospitality.

Overall the cottage was great, especially the hot tub and I was really impressed with the kitchen as everything you could possibly need was there.

However, we struggled a bit with the microwave as no instructions and also none for the normal oven. Personally, we found the beds very, very soft which gave me back ache. However I realise a firm matress is a personal choice. The sofa in the lounge was very lumpy to sit on and the wooden kitchen chairs could do with cushions.

We had such a lovely holiday at Rose Cottage.

The description and photos are exactly what is to be expected. My 2 year old son loved the hot tub, and feeding the fish in the pond. So much character at the cottage. The owners have spent money and love getting it to such a standard. The only thing that took us time to work out was the hob, so perhaps an information sheet regarding instructions how to use as well as a central heating guide . A cosy cottage with the fire at night which we supplied our own fuel, was nice relaxing way to unwind after a day of exploring. Great location to explore surrounding area, as well shops close to the cottage to buy supplies. Thank you for letting us stay at your cottage.

A lovely property which was comfy and in a good location for visiting Devon.

Lots of space to spread out with a living room, snug and conservatory together with a big kitchen. Outside was delightful with a garden (up some steps) with a pond and the apples and pears were in season and we're delicious. The hot tub was a favourite and with dark skies it was great to lie in the tub watching the stars. The kitchen whilst having the usual amenities could have had more space for our food to be stored and it would have been good to have had some instructions for the hob and ovens rather than have to text the owner (who replied really quickly). All in all a nice week spent unwinding.

Great location if you like pease and quiet.

Hot tub is a great place to relax. Not too far away from shops.

Had a lovely stay at rose cottage everything we needed lovely cottage.

I’m afraid I couldn’t use the hot tub as too difficult for me to get in as have hip and knee replacements and to step in too deep for me , but daughter and son in law enjoyed. The road is very dangerous so backing into the drive was a bit scary maybe loose some of the front garden to make it easier and to go into property driving in ? A full size ironing board and iron would make laundry easier ironing on table top board not the best.

Just fabulous, nobody knows you’re there, it is so well hidden by the wonderful garden.

The cottage itself is beautiful inside and out and it’s in a great location with lots of walks for humans and dogs. Can’t recommend more, loved it
