Great holiday cottage very well equipt, super clean and cosy. Jan and Dave were excellentwith help if needed it! We felt very relaxed from day one. The scones with cream & jam were delicious!Good road network to get around from place to place. Very central so lots of places of interest to visit. Plenty of shops /supermarkets close by.We loved the area and will be back again later this year. Thankyou Jan & Dave.Best holiday cottage we have been to in the last ten years.

After a lovely welcome of freshly baked scones with jam and cream (Im a jam first person, sorry the people of Devon) from Jan, we settled very nicely into The Milk Churn, a warm and comfy cottage. Everything had been thought of, even down to buckets and spades for kiddies, if needed. We would throughly recommend a stay but do be warned, dont use satnav to navigate your way around stick to Jans instructions
