We love this house, we’ve just been back for our 2nd visit & will no doubt be back again in the future.

We had a lovely week at Otterbield as a group of 5 adults and 2 children. The house was clean, warm and well equipped. We particularly liked the stove in the front room for a warm fire on an evening.The main issue as mentioned in other reviews are the very soft mattresses in the double rooms., meaning you both sink into the middle of the bed. Replacing these would be a great improvement.Overall we would definitely stay again in the future as it is in a good location and was clean and warm.
