What our customers say about their holidays

  Second time for us to stay at Cawsand, having visited for a week in July 2023.

  The cleanliness and quality of the cottage has been maintained and it is a real home from home. Lisa and Felix are great hosts and are very helpful if you need advice about anything. Their information pack in the cottage is an excellent source to guide you to many local eateries and places to visit. Their cottages are a retreat to unwind, to enjoy nature and the peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the seaside resorts, yet only a few miles away when you want to visit the villages, beaches and coves etc. Our dog enjoyed laying out on the balcony and watching the cows, geese, foxes and other wildlife, and had a secure garden to run around too. A perfect set up for dog owners, including the welcoming dog hamper with lots of goodies for your fur baby. Sassy the resident dog is lucky enough to live there with Lisa and Felix in a fabulous setting. Thanks once again to Lisa and Felix for another wonderful holiday; and giving us the opportunity to experience just a little of your beautiful setting. We look forward to visiting our little retreat in the future.

  We had a super 7 night break, a really lovely homely and comfortable base to stay. Comfy bed, pillows and nice linen. An absolute bonus is a bathroom and a shower room with a great size and powerful shower. Comfy chairs to watch TV or the wood burner in winter. Home seems more spacious inside than it looks. Lovely bookshelf too with some interesting books. The cricket pitch is close by, also a food van very near. Parking is very easy and near the property. Cycles for hire also nearby. So much to do in the area, the Tarka trail is perfect we walked at least 10k everyday, also the coast path. Fremington Quay cafe is a great and welcoming place serving great food. We walked to Tapeley park well worth a visit a lovely walk along the Tarka trail. RHS Rosemoor and Dartington crystal are close by, a car drive away. There is a dele shop (Johns) in Instow with some great food and drink. Supermarkets are a few minutes drive away. Instow Arms is a lovely place to watch the sun go down. We would definitely recommend the property and the area.

  All in all, a lovely stay with very nice owners.

  I gave it 4 stars, however, mostly because of the very spotty WiFi which made it impossible to stream any movies or reliably get online. It was worse in the evenings or on rainy days when all the cottages were occupied. At those times, the internet was down completely. Truly frustrating. The cottage itself was nicely appointed and the fenced in private garden was great for our dog. I would, however, suggest to the owners that it would be helpful to have more than 4 knives, forks, and plates. My only other comment for future renters (and this is not directed at the cottage owners) is to be aware that the last 2 miles or so are down very narrow country lanes and there were large oncoming tractors barreling down the road seemingly every time I was headed out from or back to the cottage. I was constantly having to back up for quite a distance to find a spot wide enough for them to pass. Not a deal breaker by any means, but it was a deterrent (at least to me) to wanting to come and go often. But on the whole, a very nice stay!

  We experienced problems with water pressure.

  .when we turned on taps the noise was tremendous..and lasted almost length of shower..pressure needs to be sorted..plus more lights needed at this time of year..I have owned a Cotswold cottage so the charm of them is a bonus, but not in the winter when especially in the bedroom I used a torch to check floor space ! Courtesy light did not work properly,so again torch necessary to get to car..however bed was comfy, but bed linen left a lot to be desired, just a quick iron would have been beneficial! We were however grateful to have been left an extra duvet..as it was chilly..the ac units, we’re fine but , your feet froze whilst top half was toasty !l Lovely gesture of treats, blanket, etc for our third family member, she was delighted, especially as we were all on one level, and we could hear her snoring all night

  Rame is a beautifully presented, exceptionally clean, modern, well thought out, comfortable holiday let, with views across open countryside.

  Extra little touches were most welcome, which included: Cornish tea bags, milk, cream tea components, a bottle of Cornish Gold cider, a little box of Lindor chocolates, toiletries, coffee maker with capsules, Netflix and an Echo Dot .There were also treats for the dogs and the enclosed garden is excellent for holiday makers with dogs. It is worth knowing there are steps from the balcony to the garden which the owners have thoughtfully made non slip. The owners, Lisa and Felix are very welcoming and available if there should be a need. There is also lots of information about the local area within the cottage. I would highly recommend all of their cottages (we had a sneaky look at all of them, with Lisa, before we left!) It certainly exceeds on all counts holiday lets we've stayed in previously.
