We loved it.. The cottage is beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. The view from the balcony at the rear is stunning as are all the different species of birds some of which became quite tame. The whole area is superb. We stayed in the twin bedded room and felt that could do with a bit more drawer space. Other than that small comment, the whole experience was brilliant.

The best cottage we have ever stayed in for cleanliness and home comforts.. They had a little of everything in the kitchen and bathrooms to make life easier. Plenty of information was provided on places to visit, the surrounding area, walking and how everything worked. They had put a lot of thought into making guests welcome but we're not intrusive.

We arrived and were welcomed with a vase of wild flowers, milk in the fridge, plenty of tea/coffee and sugar and the best ever homemade fruit slices.. Honey, our dog was also pleased to find a bag of dog treats waiting for her! The cottage is beautifully decorated throughout and much bigger than we expected. The beds were really comfortable and the wet room and shower in the bedrooms were perfect in every way. Everything has been thought of and a bookcase with plenty of reading material along with numerous bird identification books came in very handy. In the cupboard was a great collection of games. The wildlife in this lovely remote spot is amazing and kept us entertained for hours. We were really delighted to see three deer in the garden one morning, a great spotted woodpecker and a nuthatch. The strategically placed bird tables were always full of feathered visitors and we just had to sit on the comfortable sofas and look out of the French doors or go out on the balcony to see them. A pair of binoculars and a torch was also provided. We would have been happy to just stay and relax in the cottage, but actually found it to be an ideal central location for visiting the surrounding areas like Honiton, Seaton and Lyme Regis. The owners were excellent hosts and we felt honoured to be allowed to stay in their wonderful cottage. We will definitely be returning and are already recommending it to our family and friends.
