My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pipers Cottage. The location is superb with very easy access to Kingsbridge, Salcombe and many other fantastic beaches/towns/restaurants in the area. It’s positioned away from the hustle and bustle of a town, but with easy access to good amenities in Kingsbridge.
The setting of the cottage is simply picturesque with views across to the creek and surrounding farmland. We loved using our paddle boards in the creek which really is a stones throw from the house. We saw many birds and fish, none of which I can name but great to see. We also sat on the small jetty with a glass of wine… highly recommended! I imagine this would make a wonderful holiday for a family with kids as they can splash around in the sheltered creek and see the wildlife.
The house itself is very well appointed. Again, I imagine it would be good for a family with kids given the two bathrooms, playroom and decent sized bedrooms. For just myself and my wife, we had ample space. We cooked in the kitchen most evenings which all worked very well. The lounge was comfortable for my wife and I but perhaps seating a little limited if there were kids.
It’s also worth mentioning that the home owner was incredibly friendly and helpful. For example, he provided excellent restaurant recommendations over the phone plus tips around tide times in the area.
If you were to push me to find fault, in an ideal world there are a few things around the property that could do with a bit of updating, primarily the upstairs bathroom which looks a little tired. The back garden was also quite overgrown and it would’ve been nice to have used this. However, having said this we enjoyed our stay so much we’ve already enquired about booking to stay again!
I’m conclusion, this is a wonderful place for a holiday, setup very well for a family or couple and in a stunning part of the world. I highly recommend.
