We had a lovely stay in the cottage, it was just what we were looking for, a weekend away with peace and quiet. Everything we needed was on hand, and so close to Honiton, Sidmouth etc. Would definately recommend staying here, and would not hesitate to stay again. The owners are on hand if you need anything extra and lovely people
