An incredibly luxurious, comfortable, clean, well-equipped cottage; in an amazing setting; with a gorgeous, south facing patio. Ian and his family were the perfect hosts - just the right amount of help and local knowledge offered. Pat made discrete visits to tend the plants and generously lent us some of her own ramblers maps. The welcome hamper exceeded all expectations. A fantastic weeks holiday (3-10 June 2023)

This a well-appointed house in the most beautiful location looking on to the river Teign. The house is on one level with no interior steps making it wonderful as a place for anyone whose walking is not perfect. We absolutely loved the huge living room/kitchen where there's space for everyone and a well-equipped kitchen. The bathrooms and bedrooms were also a delight and each room has stunning views and a door opening towards the river. Despite the rather damp, cold weather outside the house was cosy and the hot water flowed when we needed reviving after a wet walk! There are glorious walks (whatever the weather) along the river and it's so close to Dartmoor that it would make a great location for exploring the whole area. We enjoyed the little pub at Fingle Bridge and the walk to Castle Drogo is magnificent. Two small suggestions: the showers have nothing (other than the floor) to put your shampoo etc on which we found a bit annoying and odd (it's otherwise a perfect house for anyone who is less than steady on their feet) and we'd have loved a few more lamps - the lighting was either very bright or a bit dim - especially at night in the living room. The games room was very much enjoyed in the evening. Thank you to Ian and Sarah who made our trip so simple and for leaving such thoughtful items in the welcome hamper and cupboards!

Lovely location and views,and the interior is very spacious with great bathrooms and bedding. Very disappointed/annoyed that they forgot to provide our hamper with the essentials, which meant a late afternoon drive to buy milk/butter/bread/eggs/tea/coffee (we had taken other food of course, but not these items) Also, insufficient kitchen cleaning items i.e. no washing-up liquid or sponge,3 dishwasher tablets(red lights on the machine and no salt or rinsaid provided) and just 1 washing machine capsule. More serving dishes rather than just glass pyrex and some napkins etc would be a plus, and more than one tea towel - rather mean, given the price. RR responded promptly but said they could do nothing as the owners were away. They later offered a voucher towards a future booking - that's ok, but no help to us on the day.

this is a wonderful place to stay and enjoy devon's many treasures... the elevated terrace has an uninterrupted view of the river below and is the perfect for nature watching... the building has a good balance of privacy and communal space, one level throughout makes it easy for people and we had all the amenities needed for our stay i loved spending time there and hope to return, thanks ian, sarah and pat

Very spacious house with huge windows and lots of light. The sitting room seemed a little bare of furniture but perhaps this is to keep free the access to the balcony and the view. Our two grandsons especially appreciated the well equipped games room. We used the dishwasher once a day but there were only 8 knives and forks so we had to keep washing them up by hand. Would like to return in warmer weather to better enjoy the outdoor seating and the grounds going down to the river.
