It was beautifully decorated, very comfortable and had everything you would need for a perfect Devon break. We would most certainly stay again on future trips. ##### Michael F. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsey T. 1 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing, enjoyable home from home Pleasant location, near enough to visit towns of East Devon, but a countryside setting and not too close to civilisation if peace and quiet is what you’re after. Good facilities, nice welcome, outdoor space to use if the weather is kind to you. Kitchen well equipped, very comfy bed. ##### Lindsey T. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan W. 23 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Superb accommodation Three nights in probably the best appointed self-catering accommodation we have ever stayed in (and we have stayed in many). Everything was of the highest quality, and in very good taste. Lorraine and Jim have thought of everything that any guests could ever need ... and more. Cannot recommend Gnome Cottage highly enough. ##### Alan W.
