    “A really comfy cottage, comfy bed, comfy sofa.”

    Great views, rural location down very narrow (normal for Devon) roads to the property. Parking is 100 yds away adjacent to owners property. no visitors book to get other guests information, we found some beautiful places to visit and would like to have shared it A shame the patio didn't get any sun after 4pm, but had lovely flowers on it. We feel the patio area would benefit from some trellis at the back, to shield it from the road. The owners David and Judy where very helpful and informative.
