    Feel parking could have been a real issue, especially in high season. We did enjoy our stay, thank you. Did expect the log burner as it stated until March, perhaps would be more accurate to state till end of February.

    It was cosy but spacious enough for our family of four with two teenagers and Betsy the Cavapoo. The cottage is well fitted out to feel like a home rather than a hotel. The location is perfect to enjoy tranquil living but with Dartmouth a ferry away and Paignton just down the road for those all important food supplies. There are great walks from the cottage without using the car. All in all it was a wonderful experience which no doubt we will repeat in the future. Thanks to Steve and Francoise for your excellent communication during our stay.

    The owner made me so welcome and was very helpful with fitting the booking in at very short notice ! This is such a lovely cottage - I am house hunting in the area at present,and so,the best recommendation from me would be to say that I would happily purchase the cottage if it were available !
