What our customers say about their holidays

  The cottage was beautiful and it was literally a home from home in terms of the facilities and thoughtful touches provided by the owners to make our stay comfortable.

  This included a lovely welcome pack with essentials like milk and tea bags, plus a few luxuries in the form of Prosecco and scones plus jam and clotted cream....oh, and treats for the dog! There were seven adults in our group, which did mean that one had to sleep in a bunk bed, but nevertheless we were very comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean and the cottage was fully equipped with all the appliances you would have at home. Woodbury is a very pretty village, with two main pubs a few minutes' walk away. The White Hart were very accommodating of our dog and the food there was really good. There's a local store and a takeaway, also both within a few minutes' walk of the cottage. Topsham, about a 10 minute drive away, has more pubs and restaurants to choose from, and the coast is also a very short drive from the cottage. Overall it was a perfect location for exploring Devon and a very lucky last minute find enabling us to get away as a family for the Bank Holiday weekend.

  1 Castle Cottages was recently renovated and so the kitchen and bathroom/shower room were modern and very comfortable.

  It is well situated in the delightful village of Woodbury. One minor criticism is that the master bedroom has a sloping ceiling which wasn't mentioned and it was very difficult to get in and out of bed without hitting your head on the ceiling although that minor discomfort would not put us off booking the cottage again. There were lots of extra little touches like the complimentary sparkling wine and cream tea. It was extremely clean and comfortable and would not hesitate in recommending it for a family stay. 8 people for any length of time may find it a little cramped as it's two or three tiny cottages converted into one.

  We have had a fantastic week at Castle Cottages.

  The house is beautiful and has everything that you could possibly need during your stay- the owners have thought of everything. It was very clean and made for a comfortable stay. The welcome pack was thoughtful and much appreciated. We met quite a few locals who were very friendly and gave us lots of recommendations of where to go and what to do, which was great. We loved the area and packed so much into the week. We would love to go back and will be recommending the cottage to friends and family.

  Lovely situated cottage in a lovely friendly village.

  1 Castle Cottages has everything you need for a self catering break and the welcome gifts were much appreciated. On arrival there was opened food in the cupboard etc which we put up on top shelf and put ours on the bottom. We didn’t know if they were left by owners or by previous holidaymakers so didn’t use it. We ate out every day at The Maltsters Arms - what a fantastic place, brilliant food and great owners who made us feel like regulars. We will be back at some point. Thankyou
