My daughter and I had such a lovely half term week here.. The rural setting is so peaceful and beautiful to wake up to. The owners have thought of everything to ensure a comfortable stay and we were 20 minutes drive through stunning countryside to the beaches. We will definitely return another time.

30st Jan untill 4th Febr from The Netherlands It was fantastic, beautiful weather with snow and the place is cozy.. We arrived in the evening tired from traveling all day, but the warm welcome with the eggs, home made chocolate sponge cake and flowers was so nice. If you like orange marmalade try the home made one, it is delicious! We enjoyed the quietness. Sue and Simon thank you for sharing your beautiful place. Peter and Bianca

The location and set up suited us as we have 2 dogs.. It was easy to let them out, walk them and they were accepted in the yard without any problems. The layout inside was suitable as well having an area to clean them off inside the door. The proprietors were very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere of the accommodation was very good.

Excellent,comfortable cottage with very friendly hosts,who were only too willing to give local information.. Very rural setting on small farm. Lovely touch providing welcome pack of eggs, fresh milk,tea and bottle of wine. Locally very narrow 'typical Devon lanes' that provided good access to main roads. Well positioned for access to Lyme Bay towns and beaches. Several hostelries that provide good food are within easy reach by car.
