“Very nice cottage in a great setting but it was supposed to be dog friendly but in reality it wasn't.”

There was no area for the dog to do its business because the patio was a very small decked area and the front drive was shared and the gate was left open by other guests even though we shut it. No other problems at all.

- Mr Brownsword, May 2019
“The cottage was lovely.”

Everything was clean & well looked after. Quiet area with lots of walks. Parking was good. The patio area upstairs is a bit snug but we didn’t use is too much because of the weather. We had a lovely week, thanks. We met the owners while they were staying next door and they were very keen to make sure we were pleased with everything and if there were any problems they would address them. They are apparently extending the patio at some point and getting a gas barbecue. While they were decorating the house next door there was scaffolding so we couldn’t get to the key cupboard when we arrived. Luckily the owners showed us the key was under the mat. Coast & Country cottages hadn't told us this, so could have been a problem when we arrived.

“There were a few things missing that I would expect to be in a house of this standard.”

E.g. there were no ovengloves, which is a fairly basic need for a self catering property. No nice touches at this house - no milk, tea and coffee left, which are usually there (we use at least 5 holiday cottages per year). I also think it should clearly state that the garden is just a paved terrace. Makes a difference when you have a dog! The house is really comfortable, and nicely furnished.

“A lovely place to be based for good walking and within easy reach of estuary and sea.”

We had a great time and would recommend again and again.

- Mrs Stevens, October 2018
“A well equipped and comfortable property but the external terrace and garden tom the rear were in need of maintenance and some replacement.”

One small tree managed to block all afternoon sun.

“Lovely cottage in a tranquil area,condition of property excellent.”

Only downside was condition of small garden....needed updating of furniture and a parasol would have been helpful in this current hot spell.

“Beautiful location, excellently appointed property.”

Our only slight disappointment was the garden furniture and patio which both needed a thorough clean. The furniture was covered in bird mess.

“A wonderful property.”

Comfortably and tastefully furnished.

- Mr G James,

Thank you for your lovely review of Cola's Tonne near Salcombe. We were so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed your holiday in this wonderful property and do hope you will choose to stay with Coast & Country Cottages again. Owner relations
“Wonderful little cottage.”

Very homely. Lovely setting & clean. We had a small issue with spiders at the cottage & my hubby was on spider alert all holiday! But I guess we were in the countryside. The shower in the ensuite seemed to leak onto the rest of the floor which was a pain. Only thing I found very unusual was being asked to strip the beds at the end of the holiday. It IS a holiday, and having paid over a £1000 for the week I didnt expect to be asked to strip the beds to help the cleaners out?! Whatever next? Pushing the hoover round?

- Mrs Sally Dalton,

Thank you for your valuable feedback in respect of Cola’s Tonne and we do hope you had an enjoyable stay. We were sorry to hear that you had some difficulties with the shower during your stay. We have fed this back to our Property Services team, who will investigate during the next changeover. The sign encouraging customers to strip the beds in the property has also since been removed. We hope you choose to book with us again soon.
