We were pleasantly surprised by the peaceful location, the amazing views of Devon landscape and the lovely owners, John and Renate.
On entering the property we saw that itâs bigger than it looks on pictures and was on the surface very clean. It had every piece of equipment you could imagine, especially the kitchen.
It was great to have a selection of DVDS and books, cleaning equipment, a lot of storage, underfloor heating and remote control blinds.
Sadly, the internet was not good enough to hold Zoom meetings but if youâre not working while staying at the cottage then you should be fine.
On closer inspection, harder to reach and places could use a deep clean- the corners, high beams in the bedrooms, high shelves and sills and cupboard tops were all extremely dusty and there were a lot of cobwebs, dead insects and spiders. A deep clean once a month should do it.
We loved the pool and itâs a shame the weather wasnât better so we could use it more.
We had a really nice time and would love to return, but weâd love to see the washing machine replaced as itâs very rusty and has black mould inside so the clothes we washed smelt worse afterwards.
Weâd also love to see the showers updated. Theyâre those electric showers from the 80s/90s which are either freezing or boiling with no in between. In order to find a temperature we could stand it took 15 minutes of fiddling with the dials, and next time we turned it on the settings were obsolete and we had to start the process again.
