Sea garden is at a very, very narrow lane. The kitchen has all you need and the view from the terrace is nice. Sea however is only visible when you're tall and on the corner of the terrace. It's a small house, not suitable for more than 2 adults, perhaps with two small children.

The cottage was perfect. Very clean and comfortable. Lovely decking in the sunny garden. So quiet, only noise were the birds and the bees. Very friendly host who welcomed us and gave helpful recommendations for eating out. Location great but be prepared for the narrow Devon country lanes! We had a great holiday and would return.

Holiday with my 81yr old mum and pet Spaniel. Directions were spot on and property was easy to find. Greeted by the owner and left to settle in. Just a couple of doorways to manoeuvre into the cottage then all one level. Lovely welcome package for us and Pidge. Thank you. Very clean inside and very spacious.Everything we might have needed was proviRead moreded for. Lovely and light inside but also private. Very quiet lane opposite fields. Would highly recommend this cottage to stay. Will be back. Hide
