The property is described as comfortable and clean, with only a minor issue regarding bird droppings on the balcony, suggesting good overall cleanliness.
The location is praised for its beauty and proximity to Totnes and local walks. However, access by car is difficult and parking can be problematic when busy, slightly diminishing the location score.

Lovely cottage tastefully decorated ,in a beautiful rural area, nice walks, Totnes nearest town and shops. 2 local pubs one which was very expensive for food. No cooker in the apartment only microwave and hot plate.Nice to have use of the pools and one you could book an hour to yourself, but we were not told about needing £1 coins for the sauna, would have been useful to have this info on the room.Not so good was when we arrived was told someone would meet us, there was no one around, apparently not the process for people who book direct with Mill Cottages, but email from Cottage.com said we would be met.

The standard of facilities on site and in the flat were very good, however, the description clearly stated a a cooker and the ground plan, again, clearly icon of a cooker - there was NO cooker. This was a false description - disappointing.
