What our customers say about their holidays

  The house was lovely, very clean and well appointed.

  Beds were comfortable and plenty of room for the 8 of us, including plenty of storage space which can often be lacking in holiday homes. We were especially pleased with the kitchen which had everything you would need and more. The second fridge was particularly helpful as we were a large group. We were able to park right outside most of the time which was really helpful. I have only give 3 out of 4 for comfort because the house was very hot! We turned the storage heaters down to the lowest settings and it was still boiling. We couldn't work out how to turn off the heated towel rails which seemed to be on 24 hours a day. Good to know that the house would be warm in the winter, but it was a bit much for us in spring and must be costing you a fortune! Also there were two stair gates provided but neither fitted on the stairs, so were pretty useless. Luckily our children were old enough to be sensible but could be a big problem for crawling babies. We loved the location close to Noss Mayo. It was lovely and quiet but not far to drive to bigger towns and Plymouth. We visited some lovely beaches and appreciated the folder with guidance on what to expect locally. Our favourite beach was Wembury for rock pools and we also had a great ice cream at Surfing Cow which is very local. We didn't get much use from the facilities on site as we were out and about a lot, but we briefly visited the tennis court and games room which were in great shape and nice to have the option.

  We arrived at the property on Fri 9 October 2020 for a girls weekend and we were immediately impressed with not only our property but the surrounding areas!

  Very picturesque! The weather was amazing too and we could see for miles! We soon settled in for the night and made ourselves comfortable! Beds were really comfy and it was nice to have the kitchen/dining area on a different level. We went for a hike on the Sat to Stoke Beach, which was stunning as was the weather that day and we out for hours! Some of us also ventured to the beach next to it which looked like something out of the Mediterranean! Lots of photo opportunities too! We were booked in on the Sat evening for dinner at the Ship Inn, which did not disappoint! Both the food in the Restaurant and the surrounding area was stunning! I would definitely recommend this property and the Ship Inn is the place to go! The food and service were first class. All in all a fabulous stay. Only downside was the bottom oven wasn't working properly and we had to make do with the grill.

  Lovely place, thank you for letting us stay there!

  Fantastic place to stay with great facilities. Quiet out of season. Lovely nature walks and small villages everywhere. Saw Roe deer two days in a row in a field between Holbeton and A379. Beautiful narrow lanes across the whole area which required some artistic driving of a large car (could be a nightmare in peak season or bank holidays I'd imagine!) The permanent retractable stair gate from the lounge was a great subtle feature, not sure if they could be on all points of the stairs (but we did note there were removable stair gates in the cupboard that could be fitted). There are a lot of stairs at the property, but two bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor too. Overbeck garden (Salcombe) and Wembury beach were to be recommended but having National Trust membership will save you a lot of money in entry and parking fees. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable week!

  I would highly recommend this property.

  We were given a warm welcome by the owners John and Shelagh and shown round the property and provided with many tips for trips out and local pubs and restaurants. A nice touch was the milk, bread, butter and homemade marmalade which was well received after our long journey from Yorkshire. It was also a bonus having private parking at the rear of the property. The property is very well situated for the Hoe, the Barbican and the City Centre all that can be easily walked to. There was a lot to keep us occupied in Plymouth as first time visitors and I would recommend downloading the Plymouth Trails App onto your mobile phone to help you find your way around.It is also a good base to travel over the border into Cornwall which we did on a couple of occasions to visit Looe and the Lost Gardens of Heligan.

  We had a fantastic 10 days staying at the cottage to celebrate a significant birthday and return to enjoy the beauty of south Devon and the South Hams.

  There were initially four of us plus hound, but we rose to eight for the second weekend. The property is very well equipped indeed, and the master bedroom and dining/lounge especially good. Just watch out for the beams in the master bedroom if you are tall! The agents and owners are very responsive. A bulb was replaced quickly and attention to some minor heating issues. The tennis court is great, as it the table tennis room. The location is superb. A short walk to the South West Coast Path (stunning views along the circular route from Stoke Bay to Noss Mayo) and the beautiful villages of Noss Mayo and Newton Ferrers. Plenty of great cycling too (no shortage of hills to keep you fit). Sadly not enough time to go horse riding. We need to return. There is so much to explore and enjoy!
