Mrs E Murray
"If you are looking for a generic South Hams holiday cottage (sea grass flooring, coastal themed blue and cream soft furnishings, carved wooden curlew/sandpiper on the windowsill, state of the art kitchen) then Tanpits ISN'T for you. If, however, you want to be transported back to childhood memories, stay in a magical cottage straight from the pages of a fairytale, a place that hugs you as soon as you step through the door; where you can lose yourself in the stunning tranquillity of the garden, or in the joy of all the nick-knacks and nooks and crannies...the this quintessentially quirky pink paradise is most definitely the place to be."

"Tanpits is a lovely cottage and very dog friendly. We had fabulous weather but there was plenty to do if it rained. Beds were comfortable and the cottage was very well equipped."

"A very dog friendly cottage in a beautiful location. The layout and the attention to detail was fabulous and made our stay most comfortable. Just a short walk to the village shop if you need anything urgently although other walks tended to need the car"
