This is a great place to stay in beautiful surroundings.

The position of the cottage is central to Kingsbridge and Salcombe with beautiful beaches close by and Dartmoor in easy drive. Facilities in the cottage were excellent and the owners very helpful. Definitely will go back.

A lovely cottage with everything provided, and lovely welcome hamper, a real surprise.

For those wanting a winter break I would think with wood burner and heating would make a cosy cottage. Thoroughly recommend it.
