  Fabulous location - quiet, with views to die for from the sun room.

  Very clean (sorry for not unloading the dishwasher and leaving some clean washing up on the drainer, I was there on my own and was unwell the last 2 days and couldn't manage everything:-() Very steep stairs, which I was prepared for, no need to do squats for a while now. Negative point, for me the lay-out didn't work, the rooms downstairs are very dark, you need lights on all the time (weather didn't help) and I would have much preferred the fabulous sun room to be a sitting room with a couple of sofas instead of a second dining area for 6. This might just be me though. This room has amazing views straight out onto the moors and seems a missed opportunity. For people with dogs this property would be wonderful as two steps from the door and you are right in beautiful countryside. Hot tubbing in the dark in the rain and a gale is a bit special I've discovered:-) Oh yes, an especial mention to Rick (brother of owner) who gallantly changed my daughters wheel when she visited and got a puncture en route - thank you so much Rick. Finally, I was there on my own in what felt a little like the middle of nowhere (townie) in some pretty rubbish weather and I felt very safe. Did I mention the snowdrops on the track to the cottage? They are my favourite flower and boy was this the time of year to see them in droves - thank you.

  We loved the cottage, a lot of thought and love has clearly gone into making it so comfortable and welcoming.

  We booked very last minute as the weather looked good and the booking was really easy. Beds and sofas very comfy and WiFi was great (I had to work in the mornings so that was a relief)! No BBQ despite the listing and garden was very pretty but quite overgrown so top sections not very accessible - didn’t bother us as we were out most of the time. No toilet brush! We hadn’t realised there was no washing machine - normally not a problem as who wants to do washing on hols but as the weather was so hot it would have been good to be able to wash sand suncream and salt out of clothes - my husband didn’t bring enough. But we are too happy enjoying being to swim every day and enjoy the weather to care! And we could see it would be very difficult to install one due to space in the kitchen which was otherwise perfect and worked well… The little coffee shop along the road was great, amazing bread and a nice thing to have in the village. Will definitely be back - a quiet alternative to overpriced Salcombe accommodation! Thank you for letting us stay.

  Good waterfront view, well appointed and very comfortable cottage. There a split levels on the upper floor but these are easily navigable even with my arthritic hip by taking my time. The kitchen/diner threshold has tiny level differences each side and I needed to be extra vigilant taking this route. Having a toilet on each level is always a great plus. The dining room and upstairs bedroom (which we used) are single pane traditional windows and this was obvious with the cold and sound levels noticeably enhanced. We stayed out of season in March and for me the sound levels particularly from the pub seating area outside became quite unacceptable at the weekend so would not like to experience peak holiday times here. Recycling and bin instructions were clear and luckily we found parking across the road most days..

  I stayed here with my 3 children and we really loved staying here. It's miles away from what we're used too and was a much needed break. The setting are beautiful and The barn is lovely and a good size, it feels homly and the views are breath taking even when it was over cast. The hot tub was a fantastic add on and even though it's shared that was never a problem for us. And by the hot tub there is the most beautiful scented lavender. overall barn site was beautiful. The Owers are really nice. Two days home and my children are begging me to take them back!!! I would definitely recommend staying here.

  Brimpts Cottage was a good choice for us.

  The kitchen had every thing that we needed, we used the stove daily for coffee at breakfast and cooked in the evening. The hot tub was lovely especially after a long walk, very relaxing. It was great to be able to walk from the cottage, avoiding the use of the car. The view from the sun room was a treat every day at breakfast and again in the evening for supper. For the 2 of us it gave us ample space to write the diary and download our photographs. A great place to stay, we look forward to returning next year. Diana
