Back from a wonderful holiday. Really well equipped and comfortable. It’s in the perfect spot to enjoy Devon, which we did on the days we weren’t just relaxing in the house or on the local beach. Wonderful holiday and can’t wait to return.

Milk Churn was very comfortable and well equipped. The owners are friendly and welcoming. They have three loveable,friendly dogs. The Devon cream tea was superb.Easy access to beaches at Teignmouth, Dawlish Warren, Torquay and Paignton. Teignmouth Golf Course and Nature reserve less than two miles away with spectacular views. Good walks in the area and wide variety of birds 🐦. We are returning to Milk Churn cottage for another holiday in September.

We had a really lovely week staying in Milk Churn. It is a beautiful cottage, very clean and comfortable. Jan & David are amazing hosts and very welcoming and helpful. The cream tea was a lovely touch and just what we needed after a long journey. Before we left Jan gave us a tour of the farm which was fascinating. We will definitely return and can highly recommend.
