We had a fantastic few days in this house. It was lovely clean and well equipped. The owner was responsive and super helpful. The parking is tight but ok for 2 cars. The town is a bit of a trek if you walk it and a bit of a pain if you are trying to get young kids in and out of cars to go to the beach. It might be nice if there was a bit of info re public transport in the area as an alternative to going by car. Dining table is a bit past its best as legs were very wobbly when we tried to extend it for our family dinner however were enough chairs as found some others in a cupboard. Dishwasher is a great idea as saved me a job and you knew everything was clean as have family members with severe food allergies and health conditions. Would recommend this hose as a great place to use as a base to explore the area.

We were very impressed with the cottage. It had everything we needed. It was in easy reach to other places in Devon. It was very comfortable and plenty of room for our family of 5 and 1 dog. It was very dog friendly, with a very safe garden. The cleanliness was excellent. We had a wonderful holiday and would definitely return again.

I am sorry to say that I didn't enjoy my stay at the coastal hideaway. It's on a small housing estate which at times i found quite noisy and got the feeling that the residents didn't like us there.I found it a bit unfriendly. The property itself was large well presented and equipped.
