A pleasant cottage, well-equipped, comfortable beds and enough hot water. Lovely cream tea on arrival. The ceiling in the second bedroom is very low. I am 157cm tall and my head only just cleared the ceiling in the middle of the room. Good location for getting to beaches. Some people could find it to be a bit dark in the winter.

There were plenty of jigsaws and books for children to use so that was welcome. We booked as no dogs were allowed in cottages which is important because of allergies.

Comfortable home from home cottage with everything you need for your stay. It is in an ideal location for travel in the area with the nearest beaches within 30 minutes away by car and a local train station for exploring further afield ( Exeter to London line ) and set amongst the glorious Devon countryside. A delicious plate of freshly baked sconesRead more with jam and clotted cream greeted us on arrival making us feel welcome straight away. Highly recommended. Hide

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bloomsbury Loft as family of four (two under 5s). Property is compact, but has everything needed and little people loved the outdoor space. We would use again to explore further.
