Excellent

The house was very clean, milk in the fridge, tea bags and cookies. Perfect for arrival! It was exactly as in the photos. We loved watching the sunset from the balcony. The location was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Toad Hall Lovely Experience.

We had a lovely stay at Toad Hall despite the horrid wet weather.The cabin was as stated nice, clean and cosy. Roger the owner was excellent in communicating with any queries. Thank you also Roger for the lovely bottle of wine left as a welcome gift. Much appreciated. The only constructive advise which is nothing to do with the property or the owner, due to the weather it was a bit mucky had to be careful not to slip. Perhaps more chippings could be put down on the roadway/parking space. Though appreciate the approach is for other properties too! Would definitely return as found it very peaceful, accomadation excellent which is what we wanted.

The property was beautifully built and designed with ample space for 4 people. Everything was perfect, fresh flowers on arrival, comfortable beds and plenty of hot water. It was also conveniently situated to the wedding venue we were attending, The Barn in South Milton so overall a great Choi and experience.

Spot on location

Really good location for the beach and walks. The bed was not as comfy as at home, but that's probably just us. Well stocked kitchen and books/dvd's available. Perhaps a little tired and in need of a lick of paint in places. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

Perfect!

A beautiful, comfortable apartment, equipped with just about anything you could need and some extra luxuries too.The location is very special and I will miss having my morning coffee on the cosy window seat, enjoying the perfect view. We had great food at the cafe downstairs and at the Pilchard Inn. Our kids loved the beach on our doorstep, the swimming pool, the sea tractor and seeing a helicopter land at Burgh Island hotel! A fabulous place!
