We had a lovely week. The cottage was clean and comfortable and well equipped. Managed to squeeze the Mini trough the gates to park. Parking would be difficult for a larger car and the street are very narrow to park outside. That said, we didnt use the car all week, Colyton has excellent walking opportunities and is well served with public transpRead moreort. Lots of interesting local history. The Premier store with the Post Office is very well stocked and there is an excellent local Butchers whose pies are delicious. We had a lovely cream tea at the Garden centre. The people of Colyton were very friendly. Hide

Very quiet and peaceful ,. Cottage was homely and warm . It was not super modern , but everything you needed was there and lots of hot water. Cottage was in a great location for Shops and pub. The large garden was secure.

cottage was fine bit dated but served its purposes but holiday was ruined because I was one of the millions that didn't read the reams and reams of terns and conditions, i think you may as well remove the dog friendly as you cant leave a dog there
