  A lovely couple of days at the cottage.

  Location wise, I think it's perfect being close enough to the A1 but without the noise. Used it as a jumping point to the likes of Bamburgh Castle and Holy island to the north, about 1 hour to the Kielder Waterside forest park to the west. Our cottage came equipped with all the kitchen utensils you need for cooking anything you want and 30 mins to the likes of Newcastle. Bed is comfy, and the ensuite is workable - the electric shower gets the job done, just dont expect large volumes of water lol. Front gardens are well kept and large for any of your dogs to run around, but there's no gates to the drive so be careful. One of the ladies that work there have some dogs that live with them, and although they're a little loud and come up to you 'barking', dont worry, they're just overly excited so dont be scared - just be mindful if you let yours off the lead. Do note that the walls between the cottages lack a certain degree of sound proofing, you can certainly hear each other in the bedrooms and in our particular cottage, its separated via a locked door (useful option for those with kids where they can have their own cottage to themselves) - our particular neighbour was keen cooking at late at night when they got back from where ever they were - and you can definitely hear the microwaves and pan clanging. Stand out was the recently upgraded internet, got 30mb downloads and uploads, so was able to have a TEAMS conference call and stream the championship final to the ipad with no issues - so for those who CANT escape from the net, this will certainly meet your needs. Still, a recommendation and top marks to Jane who was a lovely host.

  When we first arrived the place was absolutely spotless and we felt extremely welcome and right at home especially when we saw there was milk in the fridge and tea, coffee and even some biscuits on the side!

  Perfect quiet place to sit back and relax.. the sofa was extremely comfortable great nights sleep even on the first night which surprised us both because it usually takes us a couple of nights to settle, I guess that's what happens when you sink into the bed and the marshmallow pillows give you a hug. (Haha) All the facilities worked perfectly... the shower was amazing! Very powerful. Nicely situated... perfect for longleat zoo stayers. Or Weymouth visitors (just to name a few) Sadly we had a miscommunication on our end but!!!!!.... The owners Caroline and her husband were extremely kind and understanding and everything got sorted and it was even laughed about! (You may be wondering why I've added this part in... but it was to show you just how lovely they are!) Thanks again, we honestly really do appreciate all the little touches and all the thought that went into keeping us safe during this pandemic era too. We would love to come and stay again! Only this time... (Friday to Friday hehe) All the best! We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you both!

  The cottage was compact as I expected.

  Perfectly clean and comfortable bed. What I'd like to emphasise is the misrepresentation of certain items in the property description on the site. Firstly it states that the small porch has a lovely comfortable chair. No it doesn't it contains a small, wooden folding chair. Secondly it states that the living room has a sofa and large TV. The TV is extremely small 22inches not large at all. Thirdly the description of the kitchen is that there is a wonderful set of contemporary fitted units and plenty of worktop space for preparing meals. In fact, the units are very basic and the available worktop space for food prep is small I'd say about 2ft in length the rest of the kitchenette area space taken up by the sink drainer and cooker top. All the points I've made can be validated by the photos on the site of the property. The problem to me was that the descriptions were inaccurate and untrue.

  We would like to thank you for a wonderful stay .

  We didn't give 100% because for us ot was just a bit too small .we took a gamble at booking this cottage because it was the area we were wanting to stay, but my wife has disabilities and she found it too difficult for comfort and climbing the stairs, the only other thing was the size of the bed and it's position, we kept banging our feet on the leg when trying to get by.we had to push it over to the wall to get by.and the shower door doesn't go back so I had to assist her getting in and out the shower safely. None of these issues were your fault , the cottage was wonderful it was our fault for not booking a ground floor with a bit more space because of her disabilities.the cottage was clean and had everything thing in it you could need for a holiday break.thank you again.if you had a disability cottage we would not hesitate to return.

  The woodshed is an amazing place, so peaceful and tranquil with heavenly views across the rolling Devonshire hills and patchwork fields .

  The property is small but incredibly well equipped, very comfortable beds, cosy lounge and all beautifully handcrafted. The only problem we had seems to be a little misunderstanding with the garden which I was told was dog friendly and fully enclosed, not quite the case if you have a dog with a tendency to squeeze through hedges after rabbits or likes to chase chickens!! A fabulous place for a couple, not much in the village but Exeter only a few miles away. Second bedroom very small but probably well suited to younger children. Local pub was closed when we visited but looked beautiful, and Bob and Issy have put together a fantastic and comprehensive guide to Devon, pubs, beaches, attractions for walkers, children etc. Absolutely idyllic.
