Anne truly elevated our weekend getaway into a memorable experience. From the moment we stepped into the cottage, we were greeted with an enchanting atmosphere. The room was a delightful surprise for my partner's birthday – meticulously prepared and radiating warmth and light. The bed was a cloud of comfort, and the bathroom, a personal favorite with its captivating charm. What made our stay truly exceptional was Anne's genuine care and attention to every detail. She went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met and even provided a variety of breakfast options that included healthy, vegetarian, and vegan choices. Anne's recommendations for dinner were spot-on, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our stay. The location itself is nothing short of magical, offering breathtaking views, serene countryside surroundings, and a symphony of nature's sounds. It was a perfect weekend escape that left us rejuvenated and grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem for those seeking a truly special retreat.

I like Amy the host who was so kind and accommodating to all my needs. There were options for vegan breakfast, fresh berries, soy milk, beans on toast. The location was great, room spacious and Amy kindly placed books i ordered to a hotel address in my room before my arrival. She provided with me an umbrella. She was the most charming host one could imagine. I forgot a sweater and she sent it to me to Norway afterwards. This was the most pleasant stay I have ever had with such personal touch.

    Amazing homestay tucked away in Devon. Anne is a very nice host and treated us to a full English breakfast complete with vegetarian sausage (as we are veg), fried eggs and fresh squeezed orange juice. She even fixed us a quick sandwich dinner on the first night when we arrived late and all the local places were already closed. Great views of the surrounding hillside and the sea from the room and the dining area. Bathroom is huge and has a soaking tub. Overall great experience!

Lovely, well furnished apartment, Dickens, living room-diner and separate bedroom leading to ensuite shower room. Apartment was very clean and contained everything we needed including a nightlight in the shower room, great addition. Ideal location for travelling the area but within easy walking distance to Torquay centre or about 40 minute walk to nearby Paignton.
