The cottage is ideal for a couple looking for a quiet and cosy stay, yet only a few minutes off the A38 making it a perfect base for exploring South Devon. You'll have everything you need for a relaxing holiday as the owners have provided all the equipment you might need (we certainly couldn't think of anything that was missing). The bed is particularly comfortable and there is a spacious shower to get you going in the morning. The sofa is okay, but it's a sofa bed and they are never as comfortable as a normal sofa (not sure why one is provided in a cottage for two). The only other thing to note is that when we arrived on a very cold December afternoon the heating hadn't been on and it took until the following morning to get the cottage warm, so that might be worth checking in advance.
