Absolutely loved our stay at chaffinch cottage. The only reason I dropped a star for cleanliness was because some places such as picture frames, lights etc were a bit dusty. Anything important was very clean. Cottage is very spacious and has everything you need. Would highly recommend and will defiantly stay again.

Perfect for a quiet family break away. The cottage was clean and tidy and the needs of a family have been well considered (e.g melamine plates and plastic cups, kids cutlery, games and step up stools). The swimming pool, games room and grounds with a play area are also ideal. You can play pool whilst they play in the Wendy house or chill out with aRead more drink whilst they play at the park. Great location for attractions whilst also being secluded. The most relaxing holiday weve ever had. Hide

Absolutely loved this cottage, great base for sightseeing and a lovely place to return to. My husband and daughter made full use of the pool and games room, such a tranquil setting. Brace yourself for narrow lanes, but thats Devon and Cornwall for you, a small price to pay for the beautiful countryside. Thank you so much for the complimentary wine Read moreand milk, I would definitely recommend this place. Hide

Great cottage for a family with kids and a dog. Brilliantly well equipped and comfortable. Additional facilities of pool and games room were a life saver on rainy afternoons. Everything was within an easy driving distance whether you wanted woodland walks, beach, town, food out etc. Overall a fab base for a trip away.

Really lovely place to stay, house was big enough for 4 adults and a crazy dog. Pool was great and the outside area looked lovely (we went in December so didn't sit outside)

First time staying at this cottage but have stayed in Devon for many years. The cottage is situated conveniently to Totnes. The kitchen was well equipped with a vast amount of equipment and made catering for a family of five very easy. The games room, playground and swimming pool were great for quieter days or rainy days. The games room had a wise Read morerange of toys and equipment that entertained all three children aged 1-8. Hide
