The cottage is in a great location, within 30 minutes of some the UK’s best beaches. The bedrooms were spacious and the kitchen was excellent to cook and hang out in.

James was a terrific host and left us some lovely Christmas touches to make our stay that little bit more special. Thank you James. The stay it self was fantastic, tranquil surroundings and a cosy barn conversion with modern touches making it a perfect balance of modern and rustic. I look forward to returning again…

Really enjoyed our stay! Homely cottage with room for large families and a dog. Can’t fault the cottage or the location – however accessing the cottage is via narrow, low visibility lanes so you need to be a confident driver. We found it no hassle but if you’re not used to difficult lanes it’s something…

Lovely cottage with spacious indoor living spaces in a great location for exploring south Devon, although the roads are rather teenie! The courtyard is shared with other cottages and there is also an adjoined neighbour so the terrace is a little overlooked. We really enjoyed our stay and the local farm shops were fab.

Had a wonderful week in Devon with the family.

The bedrooms were a great size, too. The house is remote, but…

Spotlessly clean, larger than expected, really great little sun terrace and gorgeous newly refurbed kitchen.
