Beautiful cottage in an idyllic location with friendly host. Fabulous welcome hamper very much appreciated!
We had a lovely stay at Woodland Cottage, the location was quiet, but not too far from a main road if you are townies like us. It was great seeing the wildlife, deer, stags, and buzzards. Elaine and Steve are fantastic, the welcoming hamper is the best we have ever had and the cottage is of a very high standard. Certainly would recommend the cottage to anyone.
Beautiful, very well maintained spotless cottage in a quiet and rural location. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and make sure all your needs are met. The richly filled welcome hamper was a real bonus!
Wonderful hosts, great welcome pack, cottage very comfortable and clean..
Great place, elaine is a fantastic host
It's a wonderful cottage and, if you want a real escape, it is deep into the countryside. Elaine, the owner, is very friendly (but not intrusive) and is very willing to assist you with any questions that you may have.
Clean comfy well equipped Great position Friendly owners
Excellent cottage and the owners were among the best housekeepers. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. To sum up, exceptional cottage in a beautiful location. Highly recommended
This was the ultimate rural retreat, with plenty of space inside and out, wildlife in abundance and kind and helpful hosts. Accommodation is stylish and comfortable, the surroundings picturesque. It was an extra treat to enjoy the fresh eggs included in our hamper.
Excellent location. Fantastic cottage. Great reception from owner including enhanced hamper. The grounds are beautiful and we made full use if the fields for walking, eating and drinking.
Beautiful cottage and location but it's the ow ers that make it excellent. Helpful, friendly generous and kind. Best RR property we've been to
Woodland Cottage was a gorgeous place to spend a few days - one of the very best cottages we have stayed in during many years of using Rural Retreats. The welcome hamper was the best quality and most generous of all that we have had. Elaine provided a very warm welcome and the cottage was so clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. Woodland Cottage was the perfect place to relax and unwind. It was a true rural retreat in every sense.
Our second visit to this lovely cottage in its quiet and secluded grounds, and it didn't disappoint. Exceptionally generous host provides above and beyond all that is needed for a relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable stay. We loved the treat of a deep bath and luxury toiletries, as well as all the other thoughtful touches that made our holiday restorative and special.
Excellent welcome and facilities. Elaine very helpful and keen to sort out any minor issues
Lovely, clean and well organised property. Lack of a shower facility and poor lighting in living room were downsides.
Delightful and very comfortable cottage, perfect for two people. Extremely generous welcome hamper and attentive care at all times. Location very convenient. Facilities excellent.
Superb Cottage with an excellent hostess. Woodland Cottage is beautifully presented to a high standard and is very spacious, we were looked after very well. The hamper contents were delightful. We would thoroughly recommend a stay here. You will need a car and be comfortable with driving on typical Devon rural roads.
Excellent accommodation. Beautiful cottage
Lovely cottage and location.Would be five stars if it had a proper shower. The bath looks great but is impractical for the elderly. Great host and hamper.
A perfect holiday cottage, true rural retreat. 5 stars for cleanliness and comfort, excellent host, generous, kind and thoughtful

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
