Having run 3 holiday cottages ourselves for 20 years we thought that our hosts had got it right with the meet and greet (especially the flowers from the garden & the wine).. The facilities were good but let down by the fridge. We always provided either a fridge freezer or fridge with a good sized freezer box, the self defrosting types, now widely available, means you do not have problems between changeovers. The bed was particularly comfortable.
A very good cottage that we definitely use again when visiting our family in Exeter.
