    “The cottage was absolutely wonderful.”

    It was immaculately clean and very well stocked. The provision of essential groceries on arrival was a lovely thought. The hosts could not have been more helpful. Parking was right outside the cottage and the location was excellent for visiting both North and South Devon. The dog was also made to feel welcome and having him with us made our holiday. Overall an excellent stay wish we had booked two weeks instead of one. We will definitely be returning.
