Lovely property & host was great! Very clean & quiet, although the road to get to the village is mostly single track. If you stay, bring your own hand soap, tea/coffee & salt & pepper as they were not provided, so we had to go to town to purchase. Other than that I highly recommend & do go to the Church pub in the village as itโ€™s absolutely amazing!

The cottage was absolutely spotless and in perfect state of repair. Neil was really nice, popped in to see us and make sure we had everythign and messaged to see if we needed anything (which we didn't!) He offered a later checkout which was especially nice. We had a really relaxing stay, lovely walks from the house to Maidencombe beach (very friendly cafe owners and delicious coffe and healthy cookies) and on Dartmoor.

Fabulous Stay in Quaint Village

The cottage was located in a fabulous village, with a short walk to the Thatched Inn pub and the wonderful cove of Maidencombe which was a hidden gem. Neil our host was so friendly and gave us some great local tips and nothing was to much trouble.

Fabulous cottage

A beautifully presented cottage in a timeless country village providing everything we could have wanted from a Devon escape. Clean and modern within the cosy thatch and the thick stone walls set in a country lane with easy to reach pubs and amazing scenery all around. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
