We had a lovely week. The cottage is to a high standard throughout and in a wonderfully quiet location if a little hard to locate. But owner was very helpful and talked us through when satnav failed us. Owners dogs came to visit every day. Not an issue as my dog is very friendly but you should keep this in mind when booking as they can access your Read moreprivate area. The river walk is highly recommended. And the home made cake on arrival was amazing along with home grown veg which we loved. Hide

We stayed in this fabulously presented cottage for only 2 nights but enjoyed the comfy beds and were entertained by the ponies, goats and sheep. We fell in love with the 2 friendly collie dogs. What a great location deep in the Devon countryside. Thank you .
