Guests say
Broom Cottage in Devon is praised for its exceptional facilities, comfortable furnishings, and thoughtful touches like wine and fudge on arrival. Its location offers tranquility, proximity to the Donkey Sanctuary, and scenic views, though own transport is recommended. While some guests noted issues with road maintenance and cleanliness, the overall sentiment is positive, with many looking forward to returning.
Most guests found Broom Cottage to be spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with only a few isolated comments about dust and minor cleanliness oversights. The high standard of cleanliness contributes to the property's welcoming atmosphere.
The cottage's location is appreciated for its quiet, rural setting and proximity to attractions like the Donkey Sanctuary and the coast. However, some guests mentioned the need for own transport and the challenging access road, slightly affecting the score.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as comfortable, cosy, and well-furnished, with comfortable beds and a warm atmosphere. The property's comfort is a highlight for many visitors.
The cottage is equipped with good appliances and utensils, and guests appreciate the personal touches. However, the repeated mention of potholes on the access road and some maintenance issues like the fence and bathroom extractor fan have led to a slightly lower score.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome gifts of wine and fudge, though it's worth noting that such gestures are a bonus and not guaranteed. The provision of essentials and attention to detail in the cottage's amenities are well-received by guests.

It's the best accommodation we've stayed in. Very well appointed, comfortable and homely. The downsides for us were the proximity of the donkey sanctuary (I don't like donkeys) the roads which were only one car wide, potholes and no onsite facilities like a shop or cafe. .

Had everything we needed plus more. Never been in a cottage which has been so well equipped. Very clean and comfortable especially the bed. A real home from home with the bonus of a sea view.
