Such a beautiful part of Devon with stunning scenery and beaches. We had a really lovely family holiday at the property. The property is basic but comfortable and the grounds and facilities were perfect for our family and small dog. Lots to do in what felt a really safe environment for children. The caretaker was so helpful and friendly too.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Iris Cottage with its beautiful terrace surrounded by pretty flowers leading to the field beyond. Lovely walks straight from the door. The cottage itself is comfortable and well equipped. Both showers are hot and powerful, beds are comfortable.We made use of all the sites amenities especially the swimming pool, tennis court and snooker room. Dartmouth is within easy reach, we particularly enjoyed trip on steam train.We would definitely stay again.

Great on site facilities apart from the wi fi being slow. Horrendous country lanes to get to the property, and we live in the countryside. Very clean and well equipped property, though a large freezer would have helped with catering for 6 people.

No complaints about accommodation at all. It was exactly as described and perfect for 4 adults and 2 4 year olds as a base for exploration.More rural than expected and the very narrow roads are an experience! Fortunately we found the roads to and from the cottage and Kingsbridge to be quiet. Different matter to some other locations and the best beaches in particular. Prepare to be patient. A great stay over the August bank holiday week with perfect weather, fab beaches and place to eat.

Great place for the family, our 5-yr old loved the stairs and having his own bathroom! Nicely equipped kitchen, and room for the grandparents to visit. We even cooked, which we don't usually do on vacation! Enjoyed the games rooms and pool too. Only thing missing was a wood burning stove! Loved it, will definitely recommend it
