About the host
Hosted by Dawn Ray
This is my second home and I use it regularly as a relaxing retreat. I take pride in its appearance and it is therefore furnished and equipped to a good standard so that both guests and my family can enjoy some creature comforts. The cottage is always a popular choice for people with young children as we have a large enclosed garden for them to play in. The character of the cottage and the fact it is a single storey, works well for couples of all ages looking for a holiday just for two. We are lucky to have a number of guests who return to stay with again and who have recommended the cottage to their friends and family.
Why they chose this property
As a location, it is central and very convenient for exploring all that South Devon has to offer. We are surrounded by some beautiful countryside and are close to some great beaches. The choice of places to eat and drink is exceptional from local thatched pubs to gastro dining serving locally sourced produce. This area in particular is well known for its huge choice of fish restaurants, being close to Brixham and Dartmouth. The wealth of attractions and lovely towns and villages means that it is a year round destination.
What makes this property unique
Accessibility by car or public transport. Large private garden and terrace. 2 allocated parking spaces - very rare in holiday properties. Well equipped cottage. Very central location for exploring the best of the South Devon coast and countryside. Single storey provides ease of access.
