Lovely cottage. Jane was very welcoming and happy to accommodate us when we thought we wouldn't be there in time for a shopping delivery! (M5 traffic!) The cottage is based in a delightful farm setting and there are walks from the door. The cottage was very clean and characterful with a spacious, well equipped kitchen and all the facilities we needed. The location is quite remote and off the beaten track but we didn't mind that.

We all had a brilliant time at Cowslip we had a family gathering of 12 which was split between this cottage and the one next door which included grandparents our children their partners and grandchildren plus dog and the place was perfect it was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and comfortable the garden and grounds were lovely and spacious the children had so much room to play we had lovely family games with beautiful views surrounding us and the grandsons caught some fish too. It has to be one of the best places we have stayed in. There were lovely treats for us and the dog and we were made to feel so welcome thank you ladies. There was plenty to do in the area and we loved cycling the Tarka Trail and the Dragon archery nearby as well as the great beaches and local attractions and restaurants. We would definitely recommend this property thank you so much perfect in every way.

The house is very well equipped and extremely clean. We appreciated the cakes, eggs, marmalade and milk left for us. The beds are very comfortable and it is a very quiet location , so we slept well. The farm is lovely with chickens and goats to visit and great walks around the fields and lakes. We had three small children and the house and garden were safe and secure for them to play. We really enjoyed our stay. Our only issue was the remote location. The lanes are very narrow with numerous pot holes, so you need to be a confident driver and be aware that it will take you a long time to visit most coastal locations.
