What our customers say about their holidays

  The house was lovely, very clean and well appointed.

  Beds were comfortable and plenty of room for the 8 of us, including plenty of storage space which can often be lacking in holiday homes. We were especially pleased with the kitchen which had everything you would need and more. The second fridge was particularly helpful as we were a large group. We were able to park right outside most of the time which was really helpful. I have only give 3 out of 4 for comfort because the house was very hot! We turned the storage heaters down to the lowest settings and it was still boiling. We couldn't work out how to turn off the heated towel rails which seemed to be on 24 hours a day. Good to know that the house would be warm in the winter, but it was a bit much for us in spring and must be costing you a fortune! Also there were two stair gates provided but neither fitted on the stairs, so were pretty useless. Luckily our children were old enough to be sensible but could be a big problem for crawling babies. We loved the location close to Noss Mayo. It was lovely and quiet but not far to drive to bigger towns and Plymouth. We visited some lovely beaches and appreciated the folder with guidance on what to expect locally. Our favourite beach was Wembury for rock pools and we also had a great ice cream at Surfing Cow which is very local. We didn't get much use from the facilities on site as we were out and about a lot, but we briefly visited the tennis court and games room which were in great shape and nice to have the option.

  Lovely clean cottage.

  Wendy who contacted us was at the end of the phone if we needed anything but all was good. The extra fridge in the outhouse was v useful. The pub next door was welcoming for those nights when you just wanted a drink and a meal made for you, menu limited but food good. The landlady was v friendly and welcoming. Noise levels weren't an issue but there again the cottage is next to the pub so you would expect noise at some times. The Clovelly Arms is a must for food, walkable to but do book. They open at 6pm we arrived at 6 for our booking and it filled up v quickly. Staff and food great. Plymbridge Woods a great walk for the pooches. Burrator reservoir also great for dogs. Royal William Yard in Plymouth was a nice place for brunch. In fact lots to do. The cottage is in a good location for walking, woods on your doorstep turn left at the pub up the short hill and you're there. Jennycliffe was close as well. The garden had a lovely view of the lake, as others have mentioned perhaps a couple of chairs would be nice outside rather than the benches, makes for more comfort for an evening in the sun. We've had a super break and the weather being mixed didn't affect our enjoyment at all. l

  We really enjoyed our stay and the kids loved the pools and the space they had to play hide and seek.

  The facilities were ok, made use of the washing machines,kitchen was fully equipped but wasn't big enough for the amount of people during our stay but we made it work. Some of the beds were uncomfortable and no showers on the 3rd floor was a bit of a problem but we just used some of the other spare rooms. The house is in need of some repair especially the kitchen and bathrooms ie new shower curtains wouldn't of gone a miss. The amount of space this property has is brilliant for everyone including the dogs. The maintenance guy was very friendly and came when needed to clean the outdoor pool. The roads to and from the house are poor to say the least with pot holes and narrow roads but that is Devon and Cornwall. Bit out of the way of the local beaches and pubs as you can't walk to them as the roads are to narrow so you have to use your car if you need to go out. But all in all we all had all,26 of us ,had a fab time and the kids did not want to leave.

  We arrived at the property on Fri 9 October 2020 for a girls weekend and we were immediately impressed with not only our property but the surrounding areas!

  Very picturesque! The weather was amazing too and we could see for miles! We soon settled in for the night and made ourselves comfortable! Beds were really comfy and it was nice to have the kitchen/dining area on a different level. We went for a hike on the Sat to Stoke Beach, which was stunning as was the weather that day and we out for hours! Some of us also ventured to the beach next to it which looked like something out of the Mediterranean! Lots of photo opportunities too! We were booked in on the Sat evening for dinner at the Ship Inn, which did not disappoint! Both the food in the Restaurant and the surrounding area was stunning! I would definitely recommend this property and the Ship Inn is the place to go! The food and service were first class. All in all a fabulous stay. Only downside was the bottom oven wasn't working properly and we had to make do with the grill.

  Lovely place, thank you for letting us stay there!

  Fantastic place to stay with great facilities. Quiet out of season. Lovely nature walks and small villages everywhere. Saw Roe deer two days in a row in a field between Holbeton and A379. Beautiful narrow lanes across the whole area which required some artistic driving of a large car (could be a nightmare in peak season or bank holidays I'd imagine!) The permanent retractable stair gate from the lounge was a great subtle feature, not sure if they could be on all points of the stairs (but we did note there were removable stair gates in the cupboard that could be fitted). There are a lot of stairs at the property, but two bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor too. Overbeck garden (Salcombe) and Wembury beach were to be recommended but having National Trust membership will save you a lot of money in entry and parking fees. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable week!
