Nice Cottage

My wife and I spent a wonderful week in this lovely cottage.The weather during the Whitsun (Pentecost) holiday was perfect for hiking and day trips in the surrounding area. After our excursions, we enjoyed relaxing on the terrace in the afternoons. In the evenings, we often went out for dinner at the local pub – highly recommended!We also appreciated the small local shop for picking up a few groceries. While the prices are a bit higher than in a supermarket, it's conveniently located and has the most neccessary things in stock.The hosts were exceptionally friendly and helpful. On their recommendation, we took a day trip to Dartmoor for hiking – an absolute highlight and a must for nature lovers!All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable stay that we would gladly recommend to others.Best regards Ludger

Good location

The property was perfect for a couple breakaway. Village was extremely pretty with a fantastic pub two minutes walk away. The food was home cooked and plentiful (real ales and great wine list) ate there most nights. The cottage had everything you needed and the owner couldnt have been any nicer or more accommomodating. Little village shop which had most things and the villagers were lovely. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely accommodation

This cottage is really lovely. Great location, nice host and has everything needed for a holiday. The pub in the village is a minutes walk and serves nice food - what more coul you want. We stayed in November but I would like to visit in spring or summer as the garden looks a great place to sit and have a glass of wine.

Cozy cottage in quintessential pretty Devon village.

Such a brilliant location for us to explore the English Riviera along & around Torbay. The cottage in that village was all we wanted as a base for our explorations. Acorn cottage had all the facilities we needed and was clean, convenient and cozy. Thanks to our host for making us feel welcome!
