“We had a fantastic holiday at The Bothy!”

The house is beautiful, very well equipt and the views exceptional. We had some wonderful days out in Dartmouth, Torcross and enjoyed some fantastic views from the coastal footpath. I would highly recommend The Bothy as a base for exploring the area, the house is everything you could want in a holiday home! Hopefully we will be able to return soon!

“The Bothy is a wonderful place that we have thoroughly enjoyed staying at on a couple of occasions.”

The owner is helpful and easy to communicate with. Unfortunately the same can not be said of Sykes. We have tried ringing on four occasions - total waiting time an hour and a quarter - to ask a simple query and never got to speak to anyone. We then wrote a letter to their postal address as no email contact was findable and still no answer. We are still waiting and ask please for a representative from Sykes to contact us ASAP. We have used Helpful Holidays and then Sykes for 20 + years and will not book with them again unless we can speak to someone about our query. Their level of customer care is shocking compared to Helpful Holidays which we loved.

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay at The Bothy, which we agree is a wonderful place! We are sorry to hear that you had trouble contacting us with your query. We have seen unprecedented volumes of calls this season due to the government travel restrictions, however both our head office and local offices strive to reply to any queries as quickly as possible. We have tried to contact you to discuss your feedback and will continue trying to get hold of you. We apologise again for any inconvenience or delays. Owner relations

“This is one of the best cottages we have stayed in.”

The location was amazing, so tranquil and in beautiful surroundings. Hope to return in the future.

“Everything new including a complete reverb even had heat pump operating under floor heating.”

No worries about the virus well off the beaten track with sheep for neighbours but has easy access to road.

“The Bothy is in a superb isolated position with beautiful views of rolling countryside - from the driveway there is also a tantilising view of the sea.”

The cottage is extremely comfortable and beautifully furnished. The owners thoughtfully provided an ample supply of shampoos , shower gel,dishwasher tablets, washing powder etc in fact anything you could possibly want. The welcome pack was much appreciated too. We arrived just before the government requested that we self isolate due to the coronavirus epidemic. I cannot think of a better place to be - we spent the last four days of our holiday in the cottage relaxing and enjoying watching the wildlife including a pair of hawks and a family of rabbits. We will definitely return.

“There were initial difficulties with heating the owner or proprietor dealt with this efficiently.”

They communicated well because they you know what was going on and then it was all sorted. Very well equipped kitchen including sharp knives. The first gate could have a better place for the pole to keep it in place when open.

Miss Macneill February 2020

“We had a lovely week at the beginning of February.”

The cottage is beautiful-amazing views, peaceful and great location. It was also spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you would need. Thank you for a great holiday, we will be returning soon!

“Gorgeous !”

We spent 7 days in this superb little ex barn. The whole thing was fantastic - the scenery, the incredible peace and quiet and the wildlife. The Bothy itself has been designed, built, and decorated with much love and attention to the smallest detail. 2 bedrooms with really comfortable beds and TV on the wall. The shower room is lovely and efficient, and there is under floor heating all round. The living space is excellent with all you need, and the kitchen area is really nicely appointed and modern. The dishwasher came in very handy, and there is also a washing machine and a drier. All in all, the 7 days went far too quickly and we did not want to leave !!

Mr Garren Neighbour

“The Bothy is a fantastic cottage very tastefully refurbished with a modern interior.”

The views from the decking and the cottage are amazing. If like me you like a clean modern place to stay where you don't see a single soul from your cottage the whole week then this cottage is for you. You are surrounded by sheep in the adjacent fields and we particularly loved the friendly Alpaca. Yes, the wifi is slow, but who cares? If you have come on holiday to stare at your phone or tablet all week instead of the countryside, you may as well stay at home..

- Mr Garren Neighbour,
“Excellent”

Many thanks for your feedback, it’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed your stay at The Bothy in Slapton and we hope you book again with Coast & Country Cottages soon! Owner relations

“THE BOTHY IS AMAZING!”

It's a joke among people I know that I have the most ridiculous standards for holiday homes - I usually look at about 500 (only a slight exaggeration!) before I find one I like. The Bothy is both beautifully modern and full of character - the views are stunning and the outside area is lovely. There's a firepit, beautiful sun loungers and a table and chairs. Beds very comfy, kitchen wonderful including more than the standard 4 coffee pods! We had a wonderful stay, the area is beautiful and the price was fantastic. Only slight thing to mention was that the internet isn't fast enough to stream TV, which is to be expected but we thought it maybe as advertised as smart TV. Thanks for a fab stay in Devon.

- Mrs Hannah Onslow,

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review for us, we’re glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and The Bothy met your high standards. We pay great attention to our customers’ feedback, so your comments are much appreciated in regard of the broadband speed. Slowly but surely Devon is upgrading to superfast fibre broadband so it’s just a matter of watching and waiting! We hope you choose to book again with Coast & Country Cottages soon. Owner relations

“A terrific property - clean/comfortable/well stocked with a few lovely little unexpected touches for self caterers/amazingly quite with views to die for/surrounded by sheep giving birth to very late lambkins.”

We were told the Ram jumped the hedge for a second round! It was lovely, hilarious and a joy to see the lambs gambling around! Wholeheartedly recommend you go stay and see for yourself

- Miss Tina Sweetser,

It is fantastic to hear you had such a great time at The Bothy - lambkins and all! We very much look forward to welcoming you back to this beautiful property, in such an idyllic rural location, very soon! Owner relations

About the location

SLAPTON

Torcross 2.2miles; Kingsbridge 7.5 miles; 15.9 miles

The unspoiled little village of Slapton lies just inland from the nature reserve at Slapton Ley and the two mile-long beach at Slapton Sands in the heart of the South Hams in South Devon. A picturesque and peaceful village with a two excellent foodie pubs, The Queens Arms and The Tower Inn. Visitors come from far and wide to observe the wildlife that live in the nature reserve and the beach stretches as far as the village of Torcross and is popular with families being patrolled in summer months by the RNLI. Nearby popular towns of Kingsbridge, Dartmouth and Salcombe can all be easily reached. A lovely destination for a beach holiday or simply exploring on foot.
