“Generally a lovely rustic cottage however lighting in main bedroom could be improved as very little natural light which is to be expected in an old cottage.”

Main lights in living room did not seem to work and there seemed to be a shortage of forks.

Main lights in living room did not seem to work and there seemed to be a shortage of forks. Little things really as basically a cosy comfy cottage

- Mrs Spittles, September 2021

Thank you for your comments. Since your stay and on discussing with the owner, new and brighter replacement bulbs have been purchased and fitted along with new forks. We are glad to hear you liked the cottage. Property Owner

“The cottage was absolutely lovely and would highly recommend it.”

It did not feel like a rental cottage, it was very homely. This was an extraordinary base for exploring South Devon, we would definitely come again. The local pub is very small and perfect for a relaxing drink. For dinner, there are so many wonderful restaurants in the surrounding towns (20 minutes drive).

Mr Barcham June 2021

“Lovely small thatched cottage in a small village within walking distance to the SW Coast Path and quiet beaches.”

Wide variety of village pubs for lunch/dinner around the area. All essentials provided for, dog friendly and peaceful.

- Mr Barcham, June 2021
Mr Morrison April 2021

“Really enjoyed stay.”

The cottage was nice and clean and comfortable. Only surprise was the huge volume of traffic outside of the cottage. Prior to our visit it appeared miles from anywhere!

Mrs Craig December 2020

“Very Quaint cottage , exactly as described with beams and quirky interior.”

All appliances that were needed were there. And coffee and biscuits kindly left for us plus one nights worth of logs for the lovely wood burner . Beds were comfortable and sheets clean and pressed. The village is quaint and easily accessible to all the sights we wanted to go to. The only thing I would change would be the night storage heaters which didn’t give off enough heat even when we turned the output up, leaving us cold through the holiday. Maybe having electric radiators in each room would have been better As well. Other than that a lovely cottage with a sweet garden .

Mr Clutterbuck September 2020

“Lovely cottage and nice quiet village with 1 pub.”

plenty of walking routes for dogs

Mrs Kirk August 2020

“The village was lovely with a great play area, unfortunately we only found this at the end.”

We loved Wonwell beach, great for the kids and the dog.

Mr Alford September 2019

“We were very surprised to see the next door neighbours coming across the back garden,on one occasion.”

It appears there is a shared access,it is the only way they can get things in and out of their back garden.This could be difficult when dogs and children are outside playing.There is no mention of this in the cottage details.Otherwise the cottage is really lovely,quiet and in a pretty village with plenty of places to visit in the area.The Dolphin pub along the road,an easy walk,is worth a mention.Hope to return for a future holiday.Thank you.

Mr Lyons July 2019

“Sweet little cottage in the middle of the village.”

Perfect for our short stay with easy access to beaches in the area.

- Mr Lyons, July 2019
Mrs Hume-richardson July 2019

“A lovely traditional cottage in a beautiful, peaceful Devonshire village.”

Everything we needed for a short holiday. In fact was tempted to take up squatters rights!!

- Mrs Hume-richardson, July 2019
Miss Dransfield June 2019

“We all enjoyed our visit to Devon , the cottage was beautiful.”

We would go back for another holiday.Thank you

Mrs Bellamy April 2019

“Lovely cottage.”

Well equipped, we liked the kitchen and the cosy lounge. Single beds too hard. Great location to access all the beaches - we will definitely be back to Devon. Perfect for the dog too.

- Mrs Bellamy, April 2019
Mrs Neville March 2019

“Very cozy cottage.”

Warm, beds far to comfortable!! Garden very sweet. Has everything you need, a real home from home. Don't be put off by no private parking. Wonderful walks and local beach. Perfect destination for dog walking. Locals incredibly friendly. Pub serves excellent food and provides excellent service. A truly relaxing holiday. Highly recommend. Hoping to return.

Mrs Deville September 2018

“Lovely break quite and relaxing lovely walks nothing in the village beside a pub ...”

Lovely break quite and relaxing lovely walks nothing in the village beside a pub , some of the country lanes very tight car wing mirrors touching hedgerow either side and do not have any pull in area very difficult when you meet another vehicle this is my only concern

- Mrs Deville, September 2018
Mr Marratt August 2018

“The cottage was clean, comfortable and nicely furnished and set in gorgeous countryside near the coast.”

The beds in particular were very comfortable. A few extra things would have made a big difference though: better lighting; there were no towel rails (heated or otherwise) in the bathroom or even a loo roll holder; the bath towels provided were not big enough; when returning there wasn't really anywhere to get clothes dry after wet walks (the rear porch/conservatory only had a night storage heater and a broken clothes airer, while there were no hooks or shelves in the airing cupboard); the night storage heaters (in the absence of a reliable crystal ball) cannot provide the right level of heating usually being too hot or not warm enough; many of the various guides and manuals in the kitchen drawer were very out of date; no hand towel was provided in the kitchen (only a tea towel). Parking was often a problem and, while a space could always be found somewhere, often meant a treck back to the cottage uphill in the darkness with bags etc; however I realise that this is beyond the scope of the owners. This is a lovely area which after 50 years I still keep coming back to. We had a lovely holiday despite my fairly minor grumbles.

- Mr Marratt, August 2018
Mr Orford May 2018

“This is a particularly excellent cottage - the owners care a great deal and dropped by to visit, with some new furniture and greetings!”

We have stayed here before and will stay again this Fall. Parking can be a little challenging, though the neighbours are very helpful. Helpful Holidays was rated very highly by The Guardian, and I hope it will remain so, after the merger with Sykes. I did not wish to leave Kingston, Devon!

- Mr Orford, May 2018
Mr Trott April 2018

“The cottage was amazing and more than we expected.”

The photographs were great but actually when we arrived we were blown away with just how lovely it was. We’ll definitely be back. A perfect week. Thank you so much.
