David 
“A very nice property, with easy access to the area.”
It has everything you need for a good holiday. Although the weather was a bit cool the wood burner soon heated the room. Very nice owners. Highly recommended.
- David, September 2025Richard 
“We were made very welcome with tea, and enjoyed our week in this imaginatively converted dairy (and slept in the former bull pen!”
), beautifully furnished accomodation. We made what we hope was a useful comment on leaving.
- Richard, June 2025I was so pleased to meet you and glad that you enjoyed your week with us. We really appreciate all comments. Property Owner

Barrie 
“A lovely, secluded little cottage for a couple to use as a base for exploring South Devon as Dartmouth, Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Totnes all within easy reach.”
Car essential. Sara, the owner was friendly and helpful and the cottage was well appointed
- Barrie, September 2023Susan 
“Fabulous stay in the perfect accommodation, very well equipped and spotlessly clean.”
Peaceful location but near to places of interest. A very warm welcome from the friendly owner Sara.
- Susan, July 2023Thank you for the lovely comments - it is always so nice to hear that visitors have enjoyed their stay with us. Property Owner
Peter 
“Lovely cottage in beautiful peaceful grounds, with use of bbq and summerhouse.”
Host was friendly and attentive. Cottage had all the amenities you could want. We found the bed and furniture a little uncomfortable. I also think including the cost of electricity in the total cost of rental would be better than the current system. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend it to others.
- Peter, June 2023Mrs 
“We had the most wonderful 6 days and nights.”
The accommodation exceeded our expectations. Our host was absolutely charming and made us so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. We cannot wait to make a return visit. Jenny and David Perman
- Mrs, June 2023So pleased you enjoyed your stay in The Dairy. It was lovely to meet you and look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner
Bob 
“Couldn't have wished for anything better, very clean and comfortable ...”
Couldn't have wished for anything better, very clean and comfortable accommodation and well equipped kitchen for any meal, the addition of the gas BBQ was an added bonus, lovely grounds to sit out in A passed post said "it would be nice to have had some firewood" but there was loads of dry wood and kindling supplied for the wood burner, which I lit every day so as not to use the electric heating and it was so warm
- Bob, April 2023So pleased you enjoyed your stay - and the woodburner ! I hope you will visit again. Property Owner
Kenneth 
“Lovely old building done up very nicely very quiet and peaceful.”
Good wood burner (free wood to). Lovely countryside, especially the 30 minute walk to the fortiscue arms at east Allington (definitely worth a visit). Totnes and kingsbridge are places worth visiting. Host’s very pleasant and accommodating. Only gripe is a change of towels wood have been appreciated. Would recommend

The property
Presenting pretty and traditional decor in an annexe cottage in Devon, Cuttrye Old Dairy is the ideal property for a romantic break for two, located on the outskirts of East Allington near the market town of Kingsbridge.
Situated next to the owner's home, the property presents an open-plan living space all on the ground floor, and is within easy reach of plenty of attractions, including Dartmouth, the old market town of Totnes and the Dartmoor National Park .
Be welcomed into a chocolate-box interior and look forward to relaxing here in the evening after a day of adventure; wind down in the plush seating or enjoy a relaxing rock in the rocking chair as the fire crackles in the ornate Jotul woodburning stove, with a TV and DVD player here too.
Prepare meals for two or tasty picnics in the kitchen area, home to an electric oven and hob, fridge with freezer compartment, and microwave, with a delightful dining table to sit down at and tuck in.
Spend time outside in your private lawned garden, making use of the gas barbecue on sunny summer afternoons, or relax with an evening drink in the suntrap courtyard which is shared with the owners.
Fall asleep in the king-size bed within the pretty bedroom, with floral aspects and a continuation of the classic style, it's a lovely space to end the day, served by a bathroom with a newly installed large shower enclosure.
Within a short drive is the busy little town of Kingsbridge, home to a range of lovely independent shops, a local cinema and a riverside pub.
During the summer season jump on a ferry down to Salcombe, taking in the abundant wildlife in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Discover the bustling riverside town of Dartmouth where a host of attractions await, explore via the heritage trail, visit the imposing and protecting Dartmouth Castle, enjoy a boat trip along the River Dart up to Greenway House, home of Agatha Christie, and experience beautiful views of the town from the village of Kingswear opposite, accessible via ferry.
Also within reach is the Blue Flag awarded shingle beach of Blackpool Sands and the sandy beaches of Bantham and Bigbury-on-Sea from where you can marvel at the art deco Burgh Island Hotel and visit the Pilchard Inn.
