Great bungalow with terrific view, but, not for me because of the tiny roads in & out of the village!

The views were stunning, the garden very secure.The accommodation needs a deep clean, the seating in the living area was uncomfortable, the same with the mattresses. I would return for the views but not to stay at this particular accommodation.

We had such a lovely holiday, 4 adults, one 2 year old and a dog. The garden was large and totally enclosed and with the most beautiful views. The property was so central to many places to visit - South Milton Sands,Kingsbridge, , Hope Cove, Bigbury on sea and we went to South Sands and caught the ferry to Salcombe and back as well as the Steam tRead morerain from Buckfastleigh to Totnes. It was lovely coming back to the beautiful garden, stunning sun sets and comfy beds. We had a brilliant week Hide

A lovely cottage in a stunning location. The vie from the decking is outstanding and there are a lot of local walks close by. We had a great week and will definitely look at returning again soon.
