Notre séjour dans ce jolie petit cottage en pleine nature a été fantastique et resourçant ! Tout le nécesaire était là pour nous comblé pour notre séjour britannique. L'accueil de la propriétaire est très chaleureux et nous la remercions pour les délicieux scones à l'arrivée. La localisation est parfaite pour visiter le Devon. Nous recommandons sans soucis ce logement pour son cadre fabuleux et apaisant et des vacances sensationnelles
