Welcome to Jays Cottage.
The outdoor pool is a real favourite with all generations.
The gorgeous double room.
The cosy and inviting sitting-room.
The patio is a lovely space to soak up the sunshine.
The charming dining space.
The well-equipped kitchen.
A lovely and light space.
The lovely twin room.
Bedroom one.
Bedroom One has a sense of calm about it.
The family bathroom.
Jays Cottage has a delightful second patio. Perfect to ensure that you have sun all day long.
If the outdoor pool doesn't tickle your fancy, this large indoor heated pool is also available.
Pitting your wits against the many species of fish in this lake is a great way to spend a day.
The wall lined garden is a great place to enjoy a range of ball sports, or perhaps a simple picnic in the sun.
For the younger members of the group there is this lovingly maintained play-area.
Anyone for a spot of tennis? If so, please don't forget your racket and balls.
A stroll around these lovely grounds is a real pleasure.
Or perhaps a wander through the woods could be a delightful way to spend a few sunny hours.
Another view of the well-maintained tennis court.
The entrance to the Colmer Estate is very inviting, giving you a great taste for what lies within the grounds.
Gorgeous Blackpool Sands.
The beach cafe welcomes you to Blackpool Sands.
Slapton Sands, one of many stunning south coast beaches.
Walkers will delight in the miles of fabulous coast path along the south Devon coast.
Hope Cove is a great family beach.
Thurlestone Sands is pretty as a picture.

Lovely cottage and the grounds of the estate were also lovely (shame about the wet weather!) the only thing I would say Is that it would’ve been helpful to have more information about the heating schedule in the cottage as the thermostat seemed to have a mind of its own! But only a minor thing. We would definitely stay again....

Lovely and peaceful cottage with a comfy feel about it the fishing lake would be perfect but there was a lot of weed so made it very difficult for fishing indoor and outdoor pool was a real bonus

1. Jays Cottage future guests note, property much smaller than photos online show, only 2 of us and space was extremely cramped. Beware large coffee table on entering we spent whole week trying to avoid banging into it ! Furniture just too big for such small living area. Website pics very misleading. 2. Small fridge freezer inadequate if you self cater. 3. Access. We encountered difficulties accessing and exiting the property, most especially when unloading car at start of holiday and 're-loading in pouring rain on departure !!! Note front main entrance opposite parking bay for Jays cottage is blocked by 5 foot wooden fence, all luggage has to be unloaded via a circuitous route around part of the complex including the deep gravelled car park, part of an earth track, beware cars passing here, up some steps (tricky with heavy luggage) then under a low archway in a wall (mind your head especially in the dark when security light only works when coming from car park direction not from cottage) , along a path past other holiday lets to a side gate to property. Phew! Access here could be a huge problem for any future guests with mobility \ health issues. 4. Outdoor (large) Swimming Pool. Closed on our first day 10th Sept. What a disappointment. All week it was hot and sunny, who would it have hurt to leave open for a further week, what flexibility?? Classic Cottages failed to let us know about this prior to our holiday. Note: If you want to swim properly you will find the indoor pool disappointing, extremely small with the , temperature of a warm bath !! not refreshing. Two emails were sent to us prior to holiday regarding there being no barbeque at Jays Cottage, this seemed disingenuous compared to the loss of main swim facility during such a hot week. ...

We were sorry to hear that there were areas that were not as you expected. The owners have tried to make the best use of the space there, but we appreciate that it may not suit all parties, so we always try to be open and honest with the photos and descriptions. We try to show the size of the property as best as possible, and only advertise a fridge/freezer, which is shown to be undercounter. The fencing/hedging between the parking area and the cottages provides the benefit of some privacy and security but does mean there is a less direct route to walk to the property; approximately 2 minutes, however, the parking is not advertised as being directly outside, so we do hope that this was as expected. Given your feedback, we have clarified on the website that the outdoor swimming pool is closed outside of the times that it is heated, as we agree, that could have been clearer. Thanks for the feedback and we do still hope that you enjoyed your time here, making the most of all the other great facilities and places to visit from there. Classic Cottages Customer Support...

A lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings. The facilities on Colmer estate are all well maintained. Nice food at the California Inn and a well stocked Spar (that’s more like a farm shop) within 5 mins walk. South Milton sands is a lovely, safe, dog friendly beach with toilets and cafe / bar. There’s also SUP and kayak hire. We loved our holiday at Jays Cottage and wished we’d discovered it sooner!...
