Wheelwrights cottage was a fantastic place to stay in the beautiful unspoiled Devon countryside and a great location to access lots of lovely parts of Devon. The cottage itself was perfect with everything you could possibly need provided. Natalie was a wonderful host and the welcome touches very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend and hope to go again.

A well deserved 5 star review! The cottage is beautiful with 3 comfortable bedrooms and great communal space for eating and relaxing. Natalie was a thoughtful host, recommending booking the local pub ( literally opposite) beforehand due to its popularity. Everything in the cottage was spotlessly clean, and all the decor beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds comfortable and there was a small outside space to sit. The beach was a short walk away, dog friendly and the area was great to explore. Highly recommended.
