A beautiful, comfortable, cosy cottage in a stunning, idyllic village setting. Within easy driving distance of beautiful beaches and countryside. A lovely old character pub a few minutes walk away and another a few minutes drive. Both serving good food. Cottage owners, very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Dog friendly; as was the whole area and the local pubs. An ideal place to stay to explore this incredible part of Devon....
