Perfect location to get away from it all, very serene. Cottage was fully equipped and had lovely decor. Real value for money and literally a 10 minute walk from Sidmouth donkey sanctuary.

We had a great time at the cottage and it is ideally situated for exploring the local and regional area. Donkey sanctuary is right on the doorstep and although the walk to the beach was steep,it was worth it. Cottage had everything you needed, but WiFi wasn't great for streaming TV. Certainly will be staying again !

Biggest criticism is the track in and out. It is in a very poor condition. Met the owner a very nice man and was there anytime if there were any problems. Just an observasion, the shower cubicle was OK but with a fixed shower head it was difficult to rinse yourself off properly suggest a flexible hose attached to the bath taps. Otherwise a lovely place to stay
