  Well equipped, very clean & well presented & the sofa appears to be new (different from that in the photos) & probably due to previous comments about it being uncomfortable.

  We found it to be very comfortable. A “set” fire would’ve been good, or include a small supply of logs/kindling. No cleaning products available although the tea towel/single dishwasher tablet & washing machine capsule & leftover washing up liquid was appreciated. Suggest a single multi-surface product is provided. It might be worth looking at the ironing board as it’s a little unstable. On departure I removed the out of date condiments, in-line with “house rules” although these were left by previous occupants. I Googled how to use the washer/dryer - again much appreciated to provide one though. We found the key for the side access to the larger rear space but it didn’t feel like we could use it & was quite sparse. Overall this accommodation is almost 5 stars & is in a fabulous location: to achieve full marks: 1) Provide multi-surface/purpose cleaning product. 2) Set fire or enough logs/kindling to make ONE, then occupants should fund their own. 3) Update the blue folder with more specific “cottage” guidance…suggest sectioning the content cottage guidance/food/things to do. This really is a great place to stay, very homely, well laid out & designed. The points raised are NOT complaints, just opportunities for improvement & it’s very clear the owners are reading & positively actioning feedback they receive. We felt like we wanted to look after it & maintain its standards. We’d definitely recommend this accommodation.

  The property was first class!

  The photos on the website do not do the property justice! For one all of the rooms are so spacious and easily could accomodate 8 persons. Great to have to have two bathrooms one with a bath and both with showers in. The living area is big and spacious and fitted the 6 of us and the dog with ease! Dining area and kitchen is also very spacious with all the utensils you need for cooking and dining. Fantastic decking area also which we used in the sun in October...... very warm abd nice to relax with a glass of wine. Also great for the dog as very enclosed and no chance of escaping. Location was good for me as I walked the dog into Dartmouth every morning - just over 1 mile downhill and obviously uphill coming back but for the non walkers you can park the car on the side of the road by Dartmouth castle to walk in. Very peaceful location and all you can hear is the birds in the morning - perfect. Will definitely be back and thank you so much.

  If you are wanting a modern place to stay, this isn't the one, however if you want a place to stay that will make you feel like you're in France, 100% this is the one.

  The seating out the front was an amazing sun trap and it was really nice going up to the top of the garden to have a BBQ and play croquet (these facilities are there for use). The facilities aren't great in regards to the tele being very small, and the kitchen being quite old, but we barely spent any time watching tele due to being out on day trips, or playing pool in the games room (pool table and table tennis table aren't amazing but did a job). We were a bit disappointed with the cleanliness of the property. It was very dusty and there were a lot of cobwebs, but it wasn't a massive issue for us. Was great having a washing machine, however it did break towards the end of our stay, but I'm assuming it will be fixed soon. If we were looking for a place to stay around that area again, then we would not think twice about re-booking.

  It may be time to replace the mattresses on all beds.

  Very uncomfortable, bossy, squeaky. Cleanliness was OK but again bedding could be refreshed. I also had bites on my legs. I moved the beds in the spare room to find crackers, crisp packets and roll on deodorant, so the cleaners can't do that good a job. Overall a lovely place but new mattesses, bedding and a deep clean of both bedrooms would be beneficial. It was also a real shame to have our last day of the holiday disturbed by heavy garden maintenance, not very relaxing. This was in addition to scaffolding being put on the property next door (owners I presume) half way through our holiday which was not only noisy but blocked us in for arouns 2 hours one morning as we weren't able to get out of the drive was unloading scaffolding and setting up around the house.

  This was a perfect little get away.

  Fairly close to several beaches including Bigbury beach. All stunning beaches as well as the water was so clear. There is a pub just up the road which we found to be unfriendly. But if you go further out everyone was so friendly. The are is also dog friendly and very welcoming. The cottage was a beautiful Devon cottage. It felt so homely. Every thing we needed was available for us. You will definitely need a car and the roads are narrow country lanes. Some a bit bumpy. But the scenery was unbelievable. Our break was so much more than expected. We went into Plymouth. So much to so there. We went on a boat cruise which was fab. I recommend this break highly. We made so many lovely memories. We definitely plan to go again. We loved every minute !
