The cottage is lovely and cosy. Coming back to the log burner after being out in February, very nice. Winkleigh is very nice, two nice pubs within walking distance. Both do food.

Lovely cottage with everything you need. The local pub was great with excellent food. I would not recommend if your taking dogs as the village offered no space to walk them without getting in the car.

The cottage was every bit as lovely as I'd hoped, well equipped and comfortable. We were looking for a place where we could just chill for a few days and it was perfect. The little courtyard garden would've been a real bonus if we hadn't visited in February. Beware tall people though - the doorway into the kitchen is very low....and very solid!
