Fred’s House is so clean, comfortable and homely. Perfect location for a trip to the beach to rock pool for crabs. Lovely garden full of interesting birds to spot. Even a woodpecker. We had a fantastic time and can’t wait to come back. Thanks to Sarah for being such a welcoming and helpful host.

We're delighted to see that you had such a good stay, and that you could even enjoy the resident wildlife during a wintery December break! Maybe a springtime stay will make a good contrast? Tanya, Customer Support

The steep hill from the beach was fine for us but could be a problem for some people to walk.

Thanks so much for your review. Fred's House is situated five minutes up the hill from the family-firendly beaches at Talland - however should you need a rest there is a hotel half way up the hill that would offer welcome refreshments and a car park at the bottom of the hill that has plenty of space for dropping people off.

Mr Price September 2020
Fred’s House is exactly as described, it felt very comfortable, and is in a great location. The owners, Sarah and David were very welcoming and great to chat to.
Mrs Dunn September 2020
If you’re after a get away from it all holiday Fred’s House is perfect. On a personal level I’m disappointed that I forgot to pick some apples from the garden to bring home so I could make a crumble after Sarah the owner had said to help myself.

The cottage was very clean, tidy and comfortable. It was nice that the owner came round on the first day to welcome us and say we could pop next door to see her if we had any problems. She also popped round the evening before we left. We thought she was both friendly and helpful. The garden at the cottage was quiet, private and very pretty. It was also spacious and gave our little grandson plenty of space to run around. The older boys (both in their 20’s) enjoyed the swing ball. There was plenty of parking space too.
Mr Bramhill August 2020
Given the exceptional circumstances of Covid-19 everything possible had been done to make our stay as normal as possible. We really enjoyed the scones / jam / clotted cream left out for when we arrived. The owner was lovely and considerate, welcoming us and checking with us the evening before we left that everything had been okay with our stay. We were very lucky to have such fantastic weather which meant we spent a lot of time at the beach just a short walk away which also has wonderful cafe. The cottage is surrounded by a lovely gardens which we also enjoyed spending time in. We would highly recommend Fred's house for anyone who would enjoy a quiet holiday in a beautiful location.

Fred's house was in a lovely location, spotlessly clean and a fantastic holiday home. We would definitely recommend it and would love to stay again, perhaps we could organise better weather as Storm Dennis brought gales and heavy rain so we probably didn't see Fred's House and it's location at it's best. The fact that we had a lovely holiday in spite of the weather is testament to the warmth and comfort provided by Fred's House.
Mrs Simmons September 2019
This cottage is one of the best we've ever had in a superb location with a lovely owner who definitely goes the extra mile.
Frau Kania July 2019
We had a wonderful time in the lovely house and garden. The owners are very nice and hospitable. There are many things to do in the region for families - walking, swimming, sightseeing, bodyboarding in the north,... we would love to come back.
Mrs Butt June 2019
Beautiful location, perfect for our stay. Very well equipped property and comfortable, a delicious cake was awaiting our arrival. There is nothing negative to say about Freds house and the location, we have stayed in quite few properties, and I can honestly says this has been the best so far!
Mr Davey April 2019
Excellent property, spotless and well equipped and in great private location. Reassuring to have owner in quite close proximity.
Mrs Hill October 2018
The personal touch on arrival was so lovely, the home baked cake and milk in the fridge and fresh flowers. The privacy was perfect.
Mr Lush September 2018
Everything about our Fred's House experience was positive. One week was not enough and it was a wrench to leave Talland, with its beautiful bay.
Mrs Kirchhof August 2018
Sarah, the owner, gave us a very warm and friendly welcome- with tea and handmade cornish cake. We didn't miss anything during our holiday and had a super holiday!
Ms Barnes July 2018
A lovely quiet cottage in an excellent location, walking distance to 2 beaches and lovely cliff top walks.
Reverand Burke June 2018
This is without doubt the best cottage we have booked with you so far Everything we needed was there including seats etc for the garden which by the way was a wonderful and peaceful place to relax in
Mrs Eeles June 2018
Fred’s House is homely and comfortable. The garden is wonderful and safe for kids. Ten minutes walk and you’re on the beach at Talland Bay, right next to a great cafe. We had a wonderful holiday and will definitely be back.
Mr Brown May 2018
Fred's House is idyllic, beautifully presented, well equipped, spotlessly clean yet still having a lovely, homely relaxing feel, wonderful gardens and Summerhouse too. Welcomed on arrival by sunny daffodils in the Dining Room, a delicious home-made cake, tea tray set out and fresh milk in the fridge, what a wonderful surprise and welcome. We were delighted that Sarah came over personally to welcome us, and make sure we had settled in and to let her know if there was anything we needed during our stay. It was a wonderful break, wish it could have been longer. Can thoroughly recommend Fred's House, a real home from home only better!
Mrs Heath December 2017
Fred's house is in a fabulous location and is a warm cosy cottage with home from home feel. We stayed at Fred's house over Christmas and the house was very festive and we were greeted with tea and home made biscuits, and there was even a Christmas present for us to enjoy. We were made very welcome by Sara our lovely host. I would highly recommend Fred's house and look forward to our return visit.

Talland Bay is a revelation; a peaceful and very beautiful corner of the south coast with fabulous coastal walks in both directions. The cottage is secluded but not isolated, the garden is delightful and Sarah made us feel most welcome. I would love to return, we had a very happy and restful time. thank you.
Mr Willcox June 2017
Fred's House is a beautiful well equipped cottage with a lovely spacious, pretty, private garden which is important to us and our dog. The location is ideal and only a 5 minute walk down to Talland Bay. The hosts Sarah and David were welcoming, kind and interesting people who left us to our own devices, but were available for help, info or just a chat if required.
Mr Walter June 2017
Freds house is a great place to stay for the whole family

It was a very nice holiday, in a beautiful house with a great garden.

It's a real home from home and spotlessly clean. There is everything you could possibly need. The area is beautiful with good walks, beaches, dog friendly places to eat. What more could you want! It was our second visit and we hope to be back again in the future.
