The hosts were welcoming and friendly and the cream tea was a lovely surprise. The location is perfect for visiting many places of interest in Devon as well as Cornwall, coastal and inland. I shall certainly be revisiting with my Goldies, who loved having a large secure garden in which to play.

Really well equipped and the cream tea left for us was a nice thought and delicious. Whilst there isn't a private garden attached to the cottage as such, you can use the communal one, which is large, very pretty and peaceful with amazing views of the countryside and has comfortable seating areas and very safe for children and dogs. We felt totally at home here thanks to our hosts Lauraine & Ulli. We will definitely return.
