The Coach House

The Coach House was everything we hoped for, true to the description.

Clean and comfortable, very well equipped. Lots of helpful information available. It's obvious the owners had put a huge amount of thought and planning into the original conversion, top notch throughout.

Owners are so lovely, kind and friendly.

The property is beautiful, all you could wish for, every need has been thought out. Couldn't find a negative. The village is a great location, beautiful beaches, fishing villages. We had a lovely stay and would like to thank the owners so much. You have such a beautiful place.

This cottage is a real gem, Katherine and Mark have worked hard to ensure every comfort for their guests.

The kitchen is really well equipped with quality items. The enclosed garden was great for peace of mind with our dog which, for us, is a priority. Thoroughly recommended, but access may deter some folks as the steps up are quite steep. We would love to return.

We were so happy with the coach house.

It had everything you could want to make your stay so enjoyable. Have all ready recommended to our friends. Will love to go back again.

Very clean, comfortable and well equipped house with plenty of room for two (and a dog), small private garden is a sun trap and overlooking fields.

Located in a quiet village, with local pub a short walk away (no food unfortunately). Several walks directly from the village including Wonwell Beach, Bigbury-on-Sea and across the estuary at low tide to Mothecombe beach and the School House cafe/restaurant. Would highly recommend a stay at The Coach House.

Very satisfactory stay at the coach house, ample facilities for a couple with a dog.

Was very grateful for the car parking space. Very comfortable bedroom but was amazed at the flow of fast traffic in such narrow roads. Appreciated the little touches of welcome such as the card and sweet peas on the breakfast table and the supply of milk, coffee etc. would not hesitate to recommend to friends.

A perfect "pied a terre" with fantastic facilities, walking accessibility to lovely beaches, coastal paths,surrounding quirky villages and some special eateries.

Big shout out for the Oyster Shack - seafood extraordinaire! The wonderful and attentive hosts -Katherine and Mark -are extremely helpful, and welcoming! We loved having our own secluded,private patio/garden to sit in the sun and BBQ ! This was simply a perfect week and we thank Mark and Katherine for their hospitality and generosity !

Downstairs smelt fusty, clothes in downstairs cupboard felt damp after being in there.

Strong smell of oil from the storage tank whilst sitting outside. Preferred a place to park the car near the cottage. Small compact dwelling.

Beautiful cottage amazing views.

Kitchen was home from home with everything you could want. When we are down in Devon again we would definitely book The Coach House.

Lovely cottage with good facilities.

Nice village setting. Lots of walks from the doorstep.

A lovely cottage provided with everything you might want to make the most of your holiday.

Really comfortable with as much hot water as you could possibly need. Really enjoyed my stay.

Shame that the pub did not sell food most days Beige carpet in lounge not really appropriate for dogs especially in the winter Good facilities ,felt that the accommodation ‘allowed’ dogs rather than welcome them But a nice setting and comfortable cottage

Owners very friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed our second 1 month stay at the Coach House. We like the trails and local attractions well described by the fliers at the house.

Lovely, quirky cottage in a gorgeous village.

This was our second visit & just as good as before! Extremely comfy, very handy for local beaches, lovely walks & the local pub. A delightful place to relax-we just loved it!

We enjoyed our stay at the Coach House and our entire holiday in Devon.

The property owner as given a lot of information about places of interest and beautiful walks around Kingston and the book in the accommodation was very complete.

Had a lovely stay in this cosy cottage, which has everything you could ask you.

Love the area and had a fab holiday.

This was our second visit this year and we will be returning next year.

Fantastic property. Thankyou

Lovely stay in June 2023.

Quiet village location and perfect for exploring the area away from the hustle and bustle. Cottage well equipped and just the right size for couples and would definitely return.

Just perfect.

Great little place and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the cottage was very well equipped with everything thing you would need, lovely little pub in the village also.

Adorable and spotlessly clean cottage.

Perfect hosts. Beautiful views, so peaceful and lovely, friendly locals.

Super stay which in every way met my needs.

A great location for a lovely cottage.

Everything we needed for a week away from it all with the dog (who was also provided for).

Amazing little cottage, had everything you need and a great little garden.

You go down some very tigh country roads so be prepared to get your car into tight spaces and scraping vegetation! The only downside for us was the rule of no dogs downstairs, which we only found out in an emailed a week before arrival and had no chance of finding another place at short notice. We have it a go and alas our dog would not settle alone upstairs without us so we decided to sleep on the sofa pull out which you can imagine wasn't the most comfiest of sleeps. This should have been stated on the website before booking as we would likely not have booked the cottage of we had known of this rule, Sykes that ones on you. We understand no dogs on furniture but why not allowed in another room in the cottage where we likely dragged his doggy hairs downstairs with us regardless. Depsite this the cottage was lovely, and we still enjoyed our stay and explored plenty of Devon and Cornwall.

I really enjoyed my stay and would book the cottage again.

What a lovely little gem of a cottage; just the job for the two of us and the dog.

It's set in a really sweet village with a great pub. We could ask for no more!

Absolutely brilliant property .

We will return. Just would like to note inappropriate for people with mobility problems. We slightly struggled with the steps.

A super cottage which was very clean( I’ve found a lot of cottages can be quite grubby!

) Very well equipped and comfortable. The only thing I would say is that the step risers to the cottage are quite deep ( necessary for the layout) but this probably wouldn’t be an issue for most people ( I have has spinal operations so my mobility is impaired) A great boot room for when the weather is wet! A lovely welcome in a super accommodation

Absolutely beautiful accommodation in a beautiful village with lovely friendly pub a few minutes walk.

Visited some great places. Everything to our needs in the Coach House. Loved the log burner and the fact is was pet friendly. Katherine (the owner) was very friendly and gave us great information on the area. We would certainly stay here again and recommend to all our friends and family. 5/5

Lovely well presented property exactly as described.

Had everything we needed for our stay.

We had a wonderful stay, thank you so much!

We had everything we needed and more. You really have created a home from home and we will be recommending to others

Another lovely week at the Coach House which is a very comfortable property, with many thoughtful extra touches provided and in a peaceful location.

It was not an issue for me, but I did notice a lot of cobwebs around the place and the windows could also have done with a clean. Otherwise it was spotless. Regrettably I don't think I will be returning, as this time I found the steps up from the road difficult to negotiate.

The Coach House in Kingston is a lovely, quaint period property in a beautiful village location.

Despite the size of the property, it is quite tiny, the space is very well planned and equipped. We loved the features such as the wood burning stove, the lovely little garden and terrace (a real sun trap), washing machine, an excellent cooker and very good quality crockery and saucepans etc and the library of books. Unfortunately there is a smell of damp downstairs which could do with some attention. The property is also quite dark and could really benefit from some updating. But it was spotlessly clean and for a few nights stay, absolutely fine. Otherwise, the property is in an idyllic location - the village of Kingston is beautiful and very peaceful, in gorgeous countryside and we found some stunning beaches nearby. There is also a fabulous pub in the village which serves exceptionally good home cooked food. Overall, considering the property’s location and value for money, this is a lovely little bolthole and left us feeling relaxed and refreshed after a four night stay. Thank you!

We appreciated the nice touches in the cottage which made it feel a pleasure to be there.

Perfect location to explore the beautiful South Hams area with.

The cottage is located in a lovely village with access to a pub and walks to the beach.

The cottage was clean and the garden had lovely views out into the field. The listing states the accommodation is on reverse level which was fine until we realised this meant your head is meters from every passing vehicle. If you’re a good sleeper this should be fine but unfortunately the noise was too much for us and is something we think others should be aware of as we’ve returned from our holiday in need of a good nights sleep.

Very well equipped property in a quite location everything needed was in the property excellent for beach and day trips to surrounding towns excellent walks for our dog

The village of Kingston is ideal for a "get away from it all" holiday.

There are beautiful countryside and coastal walks from the doorstep and it is quiet and peaceful compared to the tourist towns of the South Hams. It was me and my dog, and I appreciated the total privacy of the Coach House, especially the garden, but with the reassurance of knowing the owner was just down the road. My dog enjoyed communing with the cows over the garden hedge! The Coach House is a beautifully maintained and well equipped property, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like towels for my dog and a really comfy bed with quality bedding. I wish I had booked another week, and hope to stay again in the future.

A very nice property, immaculately clean.

However, there are two important matters not identified in the property details: 1. The very steep steps that access the property, which become slippery when wet - quite unsuitable for anyone with a disability 2. The 'reverse level' (bedroom downstairs) property is advertised as pet-friendly BUT the owners instructions state pets must NOT be allowed downstairs at any time - we would not have booked if the website had stated that fact.

We were extremely disappointed with Sykes stance on refunds during the COVID crisis.

As we wanted to visit the area and the cottage rebooked when possible however the website price for the chosen few days was less than we were charged and originally paid We were not offered a refund of the difference which again is disappointing

Beautiful area to visit.

Could find no fault with the cottage. 10 out of 10
