Cowslip cottage was spotlessly clean well equipped in a lovely countryside location and the owners were very pleasant and helpful.We really enjoyed our stay . The only drawback is the long one-track lane into the property. It is a country lane with no passing places.

Cowslip cottage is a great place to stay. Owners very friendly and helpful. The place was spotless and a milk and biscuits greeted us for a much needed drink after a long drive. Location is so peaceful but only 5 mins out from Tiverton. My kids saw buzzards, pheasants and a deer whilst there.I loved the fact its an upside down house meaning bedrooms were cool in the heat we were having and great views over the scenery. Hoping to do a return visit.
