Laurel Cottage

Laurel Cottage was absolutely delightful and in a great location. Suzannah & Alan were anxious to make sure that we had everything we needed including detailed instructions on how to get there (Google seems intent on taking you down the "lane from hell"), and a yummy welcome platter, but were never intrusive. The cottage was very comfortable - loved the huge bed, with a lovely garden to sit out in. The area is beautiful with great walks both locally and further afield. Would highly recommend a stay here!...

A beautiful and comfortable cottage, we loved our stay. Good location - nice and quiet but within walking distance of beach and village centre. The owners have given time and thought to make the cottage a great stay for their guests, also are very welcoming and helpful. Although they live next door, the cottage has its own access, drive and garden. The welcome treats left for us were delicious, nice to have a choice too. Even our dog had his own treats. We’d recommend and would definitely return if we visit the area again....

We loved pour stay at Laurel Cottage with our 1 year old. It’s kid friendly from the stair gates to the little bed in our room. Alan and Suzannah are incredibly thoughtful hosts and had thought of everything, providing a lovely cake for us, directions to the property and an umbrella for the rain. Such a wonderful holiday - we will be back! ...

Laurel Cottage was a delightful and very comfortable property with lovely features. Situated in an excellent location in the South Hams, it affords ample opportunity to visit many local attractions, and the coastal path by nearby Wonwell beach is both convenient as well as beautiful. You can also go for a paddle or swim (when the tide is in). The friendly owners are on hand to help if needed, but are in no way intrusive. There are many good pubs and restaurants within about a twenty minute drive. Many of the roads are very narrow, but with passing places, so just take care. Overall a fabulous week....

Alan & Suzannah were absolutely superb hosts from start to finish - lovely treats on our arrival, preceded by a text from Suzannah asking for a couple of our personal preferences. And the most stupendously detailed route instructions it's ever been my pleasure to receive, from Suzannah! (HINT- take note of them - you WILL need them! :).......) ! We were met on arrival for a quick chat and advised if we needed anything to please let them know as the week went on - which was very reassuring. And although it as an adjoining cottage we only ever bumped into eachother by chance- but it is nice to know help is literally a minute away if required. The cottage itself is lovely and cosy - with as good an array of guest kitchen and household utensils/products as we've ever had. The two upstairs bedrooms were very good and the bathroom upstairs particularly worthy of note . All in all, I don't think we could fault the cottage at all. We'd heartily recommend Laurel Cottage to both couples and families - it's in an excellent location to get to all of the beaches in South Devon (we were pleasantly surprised just how close many of them were) and it's a very pleasant part of the world. And for dogs too - our dog had a lovely time in the garden and the surrounding area. The only possible thing to consider is that if you don't drive, you may find yourself a little out of the way - but I'm sure people in that situation would already have taken that into account. One other thing - the road network in South Devon is.... challenging. Once you get off the A379 & A381..... they become small and narrow. In places VERY narrow. So build in lots of time for journeys as you will, almost certainly, be stopping to let others pass etc. All in all, Alan & Suzannah were superb hosts with a lovely cottage in a fine location - what more could you possibly ask for? Enjoy! ...
