Private mews location
Excellent communication with owner. A lovely welcome pack upon our arrival. Ideal secure garden for our dog. Ample linens, utensils and household sundries. Ideally located for visits to all the popular holiday spots. Lots of good public houses and restaurants within the area. This accommodation was ample for the two of us and we wanted for nothing.

Great location, beautiful cottage!
One of the best accommodations we have stayed at with VRBO, It really was a home from home. Perfectly situated for Paignton and surrounding areas to explore, yet quiet enough to come home and relax in the garden if we wanted to. Dawn (owner) was also very helpful in the running up to our stay and great at communicating everything we needed to know. Definitely would come back and stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Ray

Host profile image
This is my second home and I use it regularly as a relaxing retreat. I take pride in its appearance and it is therefore furnished and equipped to a good standard so that both guests and my family can enjoy some creature comforts. The cottage is always a popular choice for people with young children as we have a large enclosed garden for them to play in. The character of the cottage and the fact it is a single storey, works well for couples of all ages looking for a holiday just for two. We are lucky to have a number of guests who return to stay with again and who have recommended the cottage to their friends and family.

Why they chose this property

As a location, it is central and very convenient for exploring all that South Devon has to offer. We are surrounded by some beautiful countryside and are close to some great beaches. The choice of places to eat and drink is exceptional from local thatched pubs to gastro dining serving locally sourced produce. This area in particular is well known for its huge choice of fish restaurants, being close to Brixham and Dartmouth. The wealth of attractions and lovely towns and villages means that it is a year round destination.

What makes this property unique

Accessibility by car or public transport.
Large private garden and terrace.
2 allocated parking spaces - very rare in holiday properties.
Well equipped cottage.
Very central location for exploring the best of the South Devon coast and countryside.
Single storey provides ease of access.
