A second visit to this fabulous property and beautiful area of East Devon did not disappoint. We were blessed with glorious weather - unexpected which was even more of a treat. New places of interest were Powderham Castle, near Exeter and Forde Abbey, near Axminster - fascinating and so welcoming. We also loved the local walks from the cottage which are very accessible. Thank you again Tanya and Mike for choosing to share you beautiful slice of Devon - so looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing luxury break from home. ...

Colyton makes a good base for exploring this part of east Devon and west Dorset and there are more shops and places to eat than you normally expect in a village that size. The cottage is spacious and well-equipped and although we didn't need them there would be plenty of activities to occupy children on days when the weather keeps you indoors. The personal touches make the cottage more like a home than standard holiday accommodation. ...

This was our second visit to the property. It is spacious, comfortably furnished and well situated. There is a variety of local shops and there are several places to eat in Colyton, however opening times can be a bit random so well worth checking. The church is well worth a visit too. The cottage is within easy reach of the sea via road or tram. Crealy Theme Park is not too far away and is great for youngsters. Grown ups also loved The Sooty Show and museum Axminster’s wildlife park is great too, especially when the snakes etc are brought out for a cuddle! ...

A spotlessly clean comfortable cottage, well placed for local amenities, yet quiet and private. The village has a good selection of shops and is on a bus route, which meant we could park the car and forget about having to drive for a few days. We had a most enjoyable stay and hope to return one day. ...
