What our customers say about their holidays

  Excellent cottage, clean, everything working & in good condition.

  We felt very comfortable there for our holiday. Even on our one very wet day we occupied ourselves with the books, games & a jigsaw ( there was a good choice of everything). Parking at the front of the cottage was fine and close to the entrance door. veiws of the sheep with their lambs, and the countryside from the windows were beautiful. Our only concern was the location, theoretically ideal for access to the south coast, Dartmouth, Plymouth & Totnes areas, but rather alarming to an unconfident driver. The very narrow country lanes, off in every direction from the cottage, meant quite a few miles travelled before any wider road was reached. Hence we restricted travelling to & from the cottage to once a day, ensured we were back before it went dark & were grateful we only had a small car..The owner was very kind, she left us wine, crisps, milk & teabags to start us off & some freshly laid eggs to take home, which were delicious.

  We arrived on a dark very wet evening.

  It was impossible to find this place. We eventually had to call at a house to ask for help. He agreed it was not very easy to find. Put up some directions. The cottage was freezing cold. Had a radiator in lounge area, which we later discovered, was not operable due to no gas in the property!!!. We sat with blankets around us until we got the fire going. The TV did not work for the whole of our visit. Misadvertising. Loads of DVD’s which proved TV did not work. Now the bed. We are both in our 70’s. The person next to the wall had to get the other person to move every time they get up. The only place that was warm all the time was the toilet area. Not much good. We would never visit this property again. It needs a lot of jobs doing to it. Ps no freezer compartment in the fridge. Couldn’t get the cooker top ever to work.

  The holiday annex was situated in a perfect location, not more than ten minutes from the sea and Dartmouth.

  The local store not far away and in the village post office had all the items one would need to be self sufficient. Even down to the birthday card left at home for the wife. The break was for a period of one week and unfortunately weather this year wasn’t to kind and ment only one day on the beach at Slapton sands. The unfortunate situation was our blind dog who developed cataract a week earlier caught his toe nail in the shingles at the annex and needed veterinary care immediately back home. But we enjoyed the three days at the annex before returning home early. We would certainly recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting to visit south Devon. My only critique would be to lay artificial grass instead of shingles in the garden to prevent small dogs tripping or stumbling.

  Lovely small bungalow accommodation, just right for two people.

  Situated down a country lane, so very peaceful, but only a few miles from Dartmouth and the coast. Ideal for visiting South Devon. Both Torquay and Plymouth are around an hour away, with plenty of other small towns and other attractions within that range. There are quite a few National Trust properties in the area, so having a membership to the NT is a good idea. Another good trip is to visit Buckfast Abbey, its a lovely peaceful location. The only issue we had with the accommodation was due to my wife's poor mobility.she struggled on the small stones used outside the property for the outdoor seating area and also the two steps up to the property itself as there is no rail to hold onto. Will definitely consider the property again next time we are holidaying in the area.

  Our stay at Eastdown Annexe was fantastic, we wish we had stayed longer and we would be happy to return and recommend.

  The annexe was very well presented on arrival, cleaned very thoroughly and there was a lovely welcome basket with a few essentials for us and the dog. The annexe is very well equipped; a lovely big bed, generous bedroom storage, a very good shower and a kitchen will all the pots, pans and utensils you could possibly need. The location of the annexe is great, secluded, private yet easy to find. Slapton Sands (dog friendly beach) is only a 10 minute drive and is very beautiful. Dartmouth is a twenty minute drive which is great for stocking up on essentials. We also found a number of walks to be taken from the annexe itself which were enough to keep the dog happy.
