This was our second visit as we loved it so much last year. Perhaps the only improvement could be new mattresses on the single beds. They were very hard and uncomfortable for 2 adults, though the double mattress was good.

Otherwise we found the property bright and open, loved the double patio doors at the front. It was ideal for our weeks stay in Devon, with plenty of nice places to eat in the evening in close proximity. We also enjoyed being able to go for a swim at the end of the day, as the weather was so nice.
