It was disappointing that having read previous reviews there was no welcome pack like we had had in other cottages. The property would benefit from a banister attached to the wall re the staircase. The information folder read more like a rules and regulation folder which was off putting, most people renting a cottage would be respectful anyway and not leave appliances on or the heating on unless needed. The TV was rather temperamental as either the aerial needed adjusting or the TV was in its way out as there was a lot of interference on it in the evenings. The fridge freezer was also noisy and could be heard downstairs in the bedroom. The location was peaceful and lovely views across the fields. Only approach via the road from Great Torrington which is opposite the church as all other approaches the roads are very poor quality and really shake the car and occupants.

Wonderful location for peace and quiet. Found 2 interesting local sites to explore on foot (short walks) - the reservoir which can be walked around (and fished I believe, with rod licence), though take great care with children, and a site of historical interest (left down the lane a short distance to a parking area and sign though no need to take the car!). A shortish walk through the woods to the site itself (red markers no longer present). Information boards explain history. Otherwise property location is perfect from which to explore coastal locations north and west. Accommodation well appointed. Friendly and helpful owners.

The interior is tastefully decorated and well equipped. The hosts were helpful and friendly, but not intrusive. A comprehensive information guide is provided with tourist leaflets, books and DVDs for rainy days. The cottage is well located for exploring the coast, moors and Devon countryside.
