A beautiful private house with a lovely garden for dog and children. Surrounded by high hedges you wouldn’t have known there were houses around at all. Many butterflies on the hedge in the back garden and we even had a pheasant arrive on the front lawn one day. Parking for at least 3 cars and a little path to The Village Inn, local shop/Post Office or down to the beach. The house has all you need for a multi-generat…

I had an amazing stay at this lodge! The home was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was perfect – close to everything I needed but still quiet and relaxing. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making check-in and check-out a breeze. I really appreciated that the host kindly allowed me a late check-out when I asked – thank you for that! The little touches like fresh towe…

This house was perfect for our stay! We were 2 adults and 4 kids so the 5 bedrooms worked well (one is on the ground floor). There is loads of space and we felt right at home!

The apartment was in a perfect location. It was clean, warm and well equipped. We found it helpful to have parking. Tracey put herself out to ensure that we could check in early; she greeted us, showed us how everything worked and gave us her contact details in case we had any problems during our stay. Tracey had put a lot of thought in to what guests may need so the apartment had an umbrella and a beach bag with to…

Great little cabin. Exceptionally clean and well appointed. Woke to bird song each day. Loved the log fire. Perfect if you want to get away from it all. It is a remote location and difficult to get about with the dreaded Devon lanes surrounding it, but if you want peace, you will find it here. Good luck finding the microwave and washing machine! It’s there….just not where you might expect!
