A charming cottage, very comfortable and well equipped for our stay. Due to having renovations on our property we were there for just over five weeks. Ester and Steve were more than helpful and accommodating. The cottage is well placed for exploring East Devon with its seaside towns and the city of Exeter. Would definitely recommend!
