In the countryside but a short drive to all of the local attractions. Stayed for a long weekend and would definitely return. The garden gets good sunshine and is mostly fake grass so doesn't get muddy if it rains. The cottage was clean and well equipped. The walk in shower cubicle is in a small ensuite but there's an over bath shower in the bigger main bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped and there were tea bags and coffee pods already there for us. ##### Dave D.

Traditional English September weather with a mix of rain, sun and gale force winds, but no matter as it allowed us to simply enjoy our surroundings. Everything from the Sky Glass TV, the luxurious hot-tub, good Wi-Fi, and comfy beds and furniture was spot on and made for a very relaxing time. Village itself is lovely with the absence of street lights making for a spectacular night sky. The River Shack, a 10 min walk, was a lovely spot with good, reasonably priced food and good beer. Was a good base for exploring both Devon and Cornwall. Dog friendly beach at Goodrington was just a15 min drive away and much enjoyed by Duffy. Whilst we didn’t get to meet Deb, she checked in regularly to make sure everything was ok, which it was. Will not hesitate to book again when we next return to Devon. ##### ALASDAIR P.
