Wonderful stay at beautifully maintained cottage and grounds. The cottage was very comfortable for 4 plus a dog. Everything was really clean and well maintained. The fishing lakes were absolutely beautiful and kids enjoyed learning to fish with my husband. Good location to lots of Devon attractions.

The property was clean, comfortable and set in tranquil surroundings.The weather and on-site fishing was very good and the owners very friendly and accommodating. Not too far from the main road, shopping and the local beaches. Would definitely like to come back to stay in the future
