The village is a delight and having an excellent pub 50 yards away is a real bonus - great food there too. There is also a community village shop. There are so many lovely places nearby to visit; Sheldon, Topsham, Teignmouth to name a few and we enjoyed time in all of them. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday in a beautiful location then this is it. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane B. 17 Apr 2018 #### Lovely cottage We had a lovely stay at Acorn Cottage, Madeline and Godfrey were exceptional hosts, nothing was too much trouble.

Lots of special touches, like milk, flowers on the table, toiletries, dressing gown & slippers. Lovely to have a choice of eating breakfast downstairs in the kitchen, and dinner upstairs in the dining area, then relax in front of the log burner after walking over Shaldon Bridge to Teignmouth beach and back (via the local pub The Church House Inn among a village full of pretty thatched cottages , also walked down to Coombe Cellars pub - notice the recurring theme ;-) ). We also drove to Totnes market, Paignton & Torquay. Our hosts were super friendly too, with lots of ideas for walks. Hope to stay with you both again :-) ##### Andrew C.

From start to finish we had a Fantastic time. Everything was perfect. The Cottage was very warm with the Heating plus we had a Log Fire. Definitely give it a score of 10 out of 10 for Cleaning. It was also Decorated very lovely with Tree, Lights and all sorts of tasteful Decorations. 500 yards down the road was a Fabulous old Fashioned Pub. We went there for a meal on Boxing Day and it was Delicious. The Landlord was really friendly and all the Staff. If you need a place to stay in that area I would 100% recommend Acorn Cottage. Maddie who owns the Cottage was very helpful and very friendly. This Cottage is a Credit to her. ##### Linda J. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anissa S. 27 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quick stay & overall very good. Found the property easily enough by following the directions given by the owners. We also did very well for time arriving at the property and asked if we could check in a little early and the owners responded quickly with a yes. Everything was as advertised, and the owners popped in to say hello and left us a bottle of wine which was lovely - we had seen from other reviews that it's standard practice for them and not something that you get everywhere. We made full use of the log burner as it's a treat for us and it made the upstairs very cosy and snug over a rainy, windy weekend. A warning to others who stay here to be careful on the stairs, although very beautiful solid wood they are slippery and my partner almost fell down the whole lot while wearing socks. But please don't let that put you off staying, just take care! Only gave 4 stars for location and area because the property is a little overlooked and packed in very tightly with other cottages. The pictures don't necessarily show this, but the village itself is beautiful. Overall a lovely place to stay and I imagine in the summer the garden is beautiful in bloom. The village pub is nice, but we loved the Goose far more! ##### Anissa S.

After our excursions, we enjoyed relaxing on the terrace in the afternoons. In the evenings, we often went out for dinner at the local pub – highly recommended!We also appreciated the small local shop for picking up a few groceries. While the prices are a bit higher than in a supermarket, it's conveniently located and has the most neccessary things in stock.The hosts were exceptionally friendly and helpful. On their recommendation, we took a day trip to Dartmoor for hiking – an absolute highlight and a must for nature lovers!All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable stay that we would gladly recommend to others.Best regards Ludger ##### Ludger K.

It is a welcoming and homely place, perfectly equipped and with friendly hosts. The accommodation itself was spotless and comfortable. The lounge is spacious and has a quality woodburner, the kitchen is very well equipped, and the bedroom is airy and quiet. Excellent.I have come to realise that, for me, the best holiday accommodation has good walks available from the front door; the walks at Acorn Cottage were first rate. We parked our car when we arrived, and we drove off in it when we left; otherwise it sat on its little space and kept itself to itself. We walked the local hills and we were able to join the Coastal Path, which makes Shaldon and Maidencombe easily accessible. Well, the climbs and descents are not that easy, to be fair! The village has a well-stocked shop and a fine pub. It is a very tranquil and peaceful village, untroubled by traffic or haste. ##### Philip R.

Such a brilliant location for us to explore the English Riviera along & around Torbay. The cottage in that village was all we wanted as a base for our explorations. Acorn cottage had all the facilities we needed and was clean, convenient and cozy. Thanks to our host for making us feel welcome! ##### Peter J.
