We had a wonderful week in Northdown Cottage. The house had everything we needed and was really comfortable, especially the beds! The owners were wonderful, and provided a lovely tray of goodies to welcome us! The location is perfect, quiet and rural but a short drive to all the great sights in Devon and Somerset! The Sidmouth Arms, Upottery was gRead morereat for a meal out. We had a great day on the West Somerset Railway, visited the Seaton Tramway and had a lovely day out in Exeter! Highly recommend this property! Hide

Lovely, clean and warm cottage in a good position for access to several attractions. Whilst the cottage is in the grounds of the owners home , privacy and quietness was assured. The owner Sue, was friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much bother. We had a lovely lovely time there and would return.
