A cosy, well equipped cottage in a beautiful location. A very warm welcome from our friendly host who made our stay extra special by providing many treats and advice for days out in the glorious South Devon countryside. Easy access to coastal resorts and beaches. We would definitely recommend a stay in this 16th century cottage offering all modern comforts.
