Lovely cottage and handy there is a pub close by. The new pub landlord did park outside the cottage space quite a bit but he didn't mind us using the pub car park. He offered to move when we got there if we wished. lovely location and perfect little cottage well equipped
Lovely cottage in great location . Easy booking and good communication with everybody.Great stay except for weather which VRBO can't do anything about Would use VRBO AGAIN
We very much liked the cottage and felt well looked after by the host, who was friendly and communicative.
The only thing that was an issue for us was the extremely narrow roads that you had to use to access the village where the property is located. We found ourselves getting quite stressed out having to reverse down the narrow lanes a couple of times, which can be quite overgrown, to allow other cars to pass. The sat nav takes you down the narrowest ones as well, and it's difficult to tell from the map which are wider and more open.
We probably should have researched this better before our stay but thought it might be useful for other guests to know before making the decision to stay here.
It's a beautiful area though and was otherwise a lovely stay.
This is a lovely, homely cottage, which is close to some wonderful beaches. The cottage is very well equipped and we would be happy to return. Thank you.
Ideal place to relax and take the beautiful countryside in. Totally relaxing holiday and stunning coastal walks and beach. Would recommend a stay at this lovely cottage we really enjoyed our time there.
A very peaceful location in a village about a mile away from the coast. The cottage is spacious, comfortable and well equipped for four people. The cottage is nestled between the pub and the church so could not be more central. As others have noted, the only thing missing is a shower attachment in the bathroom, but everything else was so ideal it would not stop us booking again.
Another Christmas New Year stay. Shame about the weather but The Old Hundredth didn't disappoint. Warren and Zoe doing a fine job next door at The Dolphin. Perhaps next time we'll make it a summertime visit for a whole new perspective.
We had a perfect stay at this classic Devon cottage in a lovely little village right next door to The Dolphin Inn. Real fire, cozy lounge area. As many reviews have mentioned it really could do with a shower though for a whole week stay. Hence 4 stars overall. Go on. Splash out on a shower.
Just returned from a wonderful week at this gorgeous and charming cottage. Set in the lovely village of Kingston with a great pub the dolphin Inn, and close to the beautiful wonwell beach. The cottage is charming, homely and very well equipped. We had everything we needed! Lovely decor and very comfortable beds. The cottage and the village are truly charming! There is a lovely market on a Tuesday in the village hall. It’s clear to see why this village has been crowned village of the year. The locals were so friendly and there is a lovely community. Will definitely be coming back!
Cosy cottage in old fashioned village next to the pub, church and village hall. Lovely walks amid stunning scenery on your doorstep- the Erme estuary and the SW Coastal Path as well as walks in the Devon countryside. Next door is a decent local pub but for something a bit special it’s worth making the short trip to Ringmore to visit The Journey’s End pub, a really unique venue, with great food beer and service.

Good but could be better
This is a lovely old cottage that is cosy and comfortable. As a couple with a dog it suited us well except the lack straight forward easy walks from the village
We were aware of the lack of shower but had hoped for at least a hand held attachment for hair washing. We were disappointed by the old pots and pans with peeling non-stick surfaces. There is some nice crockery but it is hidden by the sheer volume. We get the impression that the owners rarely stay here as if they did a few simple inexpensive upgrades would become obvious.
There is a new landlord in the Dolphin next door, he arrived at the end of September and is friendly and planning a relaunched menu in the next few days so ignore older reviews of the pub.
We had a lovely stay in a very comfortable cottage in a very quiet village close to the beautiful coast. Great spot for walkers and a great base to explore from. Pub next door was handy although at the time of our stay the menu was rather limited. Some noise from the pub kitchen but that didn't bother us. The cottage is very comfortable with good WiFi and TV which is unusual in such a remote location. The only improvement would be to have a shower over the bath but that's a minor point really. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return.
We were visiting Kingston as our daughter and family were staying in Ringmore. Everything you needed was in the cottage, I took my own linen and towels, as they were not included in the price.
We thought we may go to the pub next door for a meal with our family, but the new tenants had only been in for two days, so could not provide any cooked food. We went to Journeys end pub for food which is 10 mins away by car it was excellent. Mrs Bray
Relaxing week in a charming old cottage near the beautiful Devon coast.
This charming property was well equipped and extremely comfortable. The village was within walking distance of the south Devon coastline and we enjoyed a number of beautiful coastal walks. The property was extremely good value for money, the only negative point being the lack of a shower (bath only) although this would not stop us returning. Would recommend to any of our friends for a very comfortable stay.
This is a well decorated and spacious property, however we were not too keen on the location being attached to a pub, though it was not too rowdy. Our parking space was often taken, including when we arrived. We think bedding should be included as part of the rent.
