Had a lovely stay we had amazing weather and it was a great base for exploring South Devon. Such a lovely spot and so quiet it was very relaxing. Highly recommend the Hunters Lodge for pie night on a Tuesday if you need gluten free they have lots of options, well worth a visit.

Our 3rd holiday at Southills Cottage and we've really enjoyed our stay again. The weather wasn't so good this time, but we just spent more time here unwinding in the peace and quiet, and even completed the 'Pooh Sticks' jigsaw. We spent a bit of time in the garden once it brightened up a little, and loved visits from Ollie too!

Beauiful setting - so peaceful! Lovely greeting from Ollie who made himself at home! Ideal base, access is a little narrow in the lanes though! A well appointed and comfortable cottage.

A very comfortable cottage, the garden looked lovely too. Totnes was a great place to visit, especially the market on Friday and Saturday. Berry Pomeroy Castle and Cafe are worth a visit. Walking on Dartmoor and Hunter's Lodge are recommended.

Another brilliant holiday, lost count of how many times we've been here. Perfect weather, lots of walking, mainly on the coast path. Jet skiing with Jet Set Go from Torbay.

Beautiful location, so quiet! Enjoyed our visits from the cat and the chickens. The cottage is clean and cosy, everything we needed was here! Had three meals at Hunter's Lodge - food was excellent, with very welcoming staff and Landlord. The weather has been mostly kind to us, thank you!

Equipment / furnishing not at the standard of other properties. Chipped and cracked plates and bowls, this had already been notified to the owners by pasted visitors. Stayed for two weeks, no change of bedding and towels.

Beautiful location and handy for some great pub meals at Hunter's Lodge, Cornworthy (a walk away), also liked Waterman's Arms and The Maltster's (both a short drive). Enjoyed the boat trip from Dittisham to Greenway, and Coleton Fishacre had brilliant gardens and amazing sea views. Swimming at Blackpool Sands was lovely, and Overbecks (Salcombe) wiRead moreth impressive views over the bay. We liked the chickens... and their eggs! Hide
