“The cottage was exactly as listed and met all of our expectations.”

It is situated in a small hamlet which is for the most part very quiet, but within 5-10 minutes drive you meet up with main roads which get you to all of the places we wanted to visit.The owner supplied a very comprehensive folder listing all local attractions and dog friendly pubs and restaurants which was very handy for us and we managed to eat out very well ! ...

All in all the cottage was a home from home and would have no problem recommending to anyone indeed will probably book again for the future . Thank you

“We had a wonderful time and did not want to leave.”

Everything about this cottage was first rate and we would return for another holiday without hesitation. We have already recommended it to friends and family. It was so homely and comfortable and all our needs were met and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

“The back yard seating area enjoys the morning sun for breakfast and a brew.”

The front garden gets the aftenoon and evening sunshine where you can sit and watch the sun set over the hill. Quiet location but within easy driving distance to shops, beaches, the zoo and Torquay. Recomend the Round Robin tour of the bay; steam train, foot ferry, cruise up the river Dart folowed by an open bus tour. Only things that bothered me slightly was a rather unpleasent smell in the kitchen from around the fridge area. Many deordorising devices had been placed by the owners in and aroud the fridge so I am gusessing this has already been noted as an issue?

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Wassail Cottage. It seems that some guests had spilled milk inside the fridge which was tricky to access. The fridge has now been replaced. Owner relations

“It was a fabulous “home from home” place to stay but with the bonus of being on holiday.”

The owners have provided everything you could need and I thoroughly recommend Wassail Cottage as a base to go out all day or just stay in and relax in the peace and quiet.
Mrs Bevan April 2019

“Great cottage , everything you would need .”

Also very dog friendly.
Mrs Latham September 2018

“Our holiday again was perfect the cottage was lovely super clean and had eveything one would need .”

Just 1 day of rain but the rest of the week was perfect holiday weather. It was the second visit to wassail cottage and we enjoyed it very much.
Mr Pickford September 2018

“Amazing place.”

Its not a holiday cottage, it's more like someone's home that let's it out. It's packed full of absolutely everything you could need and is completely lovely.
Ms Scarce August 2018

“The cottage is great.”

We had a lovely holiday. The cottage was clean, well equipped and peaceful location. We would definitely return as one of the best cottages we have stayed in.
Mr De Chiro July 2018

Mrs Olateju June 2018
