Always glad to return
This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location. It is so quiet and peaceful here. The cottage is comfortable and clean and the garden, even in late Autumn, is a joy to experience. We have stayed here before and certainly intend to return.

Almost the ideal family holiday
The house itself was excellent: spacious, comfortable and well equipped, and with a fascinating history. It’s remoteness was a mixed blessing with 2 children, but the poor weather for most of the week made the distance to the beach irrelevant. The narrow lanes would have been a serious drawback had they been busy, but we rarely met traffic, and when we did, passing was not usually a problem (although we o nce had to follow a farmer in a Land Rover, driving his very large bull for half a mile before we dared to squeeze past). The only serious disappointment was the lack of an open, flat area of garden for evening games. The description of the property didn't make this clear- saying that the garden was partly wild just wasn't good enough. Parking was fine for our 2 cars. Overall, the property was very good, but fell just short of excellent for us. People in different circumstances might have another view! PS. There were instruction booklets for just about everything except the oven!

Alice Cottage
Lovely cottage with everything you might need, set in peaceful countryside with short walk to Blackpool Sands. The walk to the nearest pub (in Stoke Fleming) was quite steep but the pub was definitely worth it.

Lovely comfortable stay close to the beach
The cottage was airy, comfortable and charmingly decorated with many Winnie the Pooh references. Scones, clotted cream, jam and biscuits were a very kind welcome. Our children were intrigued by the set-up of bedrooms on the ground floor and kitchen and living room on the first. The living room has a huge window to admire the beautiful garden and it was great to have TV with all the available streaming services which not all cottages have, plus a slow cooker when you come back from a late boat trip. A 15-20 walk down a lane leads to Blackpool Sands, a beautiful shingle beach and the Venus Cafe served lovely hot food which was great after cold dips in the sea (recommend the prawn tacos and arancini bites!) There is a wine shop close by where we treated ourselves. The only downside was the narrow lanes to the cottage and sometimes you have to navigate some steep inclines to get back to the last or next passing place. Otherwise, this was very conveniently located close to Dartmouth and its Park and Ride. Really recommend crabbing and the restaurant Rockfish, booking is best and boat trip to Greenway, Agatha Christie's home. Paignton Zoo, Crealy's Adventure Park and above all South West Rib Rides for an adrenaline rushing boat ride at Brixham.

A great stay in an idyllic location
Alice Cottage is a comfortable, well-equipped semi-detached cottage in a quiet secluded location a short drive (or 15 min walk) from a glorious beach (fine shingle, not sand). The house offers plenty of space, and the garden is a delight: largely left to nature, but teeming with a wide variety of birds. Access lanes are twisty and narrow.

An idyllic holiday
The property was in an idyllic setting; surrounded by verdant countryside , but over the hill (literally) you were right on the beach. The location was excellent for walks on the South West Coastal path (see their website for routes and maps). The cottage was quiet, comfortable and really well-equipped. We would happily return to Alice Cottage in the future.

Totally Relaxing & Peaceful
Perfect cottage which had everything we needed. A lovely secluded location which is a 20 min walk to Blackpool Sands down a typical Devon Lane with very little traffic. Lots of easy walks nearby although a hike uphill to Stoke Fleming. Lots to do in nearby locations and well placed for exploring the South West Coast Path.. And the birds in the garden were the highlight- don't forget to feed them. Loved seeing the nuthatches.
