Guests enjoy the quaint features and the well-equipped kitchen, with a secure garden for dogs. Local pubs and eateries enhance the stay, though some guests suggest improvements in bedding comfort.
The cottage is consistently described as clean and tidy upon arrival, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that guests appreciate.
The location is highly praised for its quiet village setting, accessibility to beaches, and nearby attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring South Devon.
While the cottage's charm is noted, guests have mentioned that the beds and pillows could be more comfortable. The low ceilings and beams, although part of the cottage's character, have been a minor inconvenience for taller guests.
The kitchen is well-equipped, but comments about the need for additional fridges and the inconvenience of a coin-operated electricity meter suggest room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

Lobster Cottage is delightful! Full of character and charm! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The cottage was the perfect place to relax. The location is perfect, quiet and pretty. Just five minutes away from Teignmouth which has lots of shops, cafes etc Dawlish and Dawlish Warren is about 10 minutes by car. We also visited Shaldon, we caught the passenger ferry from Teignmouth and then walked back. There is also a beach which is a five minute walk away. We had dinner at the Smuggler's Cave pub and the food was delicious, they also allow dogs. We enjoyed evening walks around the village of Holcombe. It really is a perfect place to stay, we highly recommend Lobster Cottage and hope to stay there again.

Lobster Cottage is a lovely cosy cottage set in a village , & in an ideal location for places to visit, there is a pub the Castle Inn but they do not allow dogs but the Smugglers Inn is a short drive(or walk) away & they are very dog friendly. The only draw backs that I can say is that there are no cleaning products so you have to take own, & remember to take pound coins for electric & no welcome pack so take essentials.
