Our second visit to this cottage was just as good as the first. The cottage is well designed, clean, spacious and well equipped. The level of insulation was very good for protecting us from the heatwave outside. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Good for access to RHS Rosemoor which we visited three times. Marwood Hill Gardens are also well worth a visit.

The Nuthatch is a great little place to use as a base, virtually everything we needed, with a fantastic shaded garden that was dog safe and essential with the May heatwave we experienced. The location is surrounded by beautiful Devon countryside, and a choice of places of interest to visit. A wide choice of options for meals and treats for us to indulge.
