Lovely cottage in a fabulous location

We loved every minute of our stay and can’t wait to return. The cottage is in a great location with stunning views and is really comfortable with lovely decor. The host was very patient and helpful with the booking process, which I was even more grateful for when I saw what a lovely place we had to stay in.

Perfect gem

This beautifully presented holiday cottage was so clean and fresh I think we must have been the first people in. Everything you need for a comfortable stay from the large comfortable sofas and beds to the lovely rain shower and fluffy towels. The cottage has a small very well equipped kitchen, Large living room with smart telly etc, but for us the patio area overlooking the harbour with the sun all day long was the best. We would definitely like to return to winkle cottage again soon.

About the host

Hosted by Hannah

I am a primary school teacher, a full-time mother of 3 and proud to offer Winkle Cottage for the enjoyment of others. My partner John and I lovingly renovated this property returning it to it's former glory and have fully equipped the cottage for our family. We love to hear feedback from our guests and continuously look to improve the cottage to give future guests the best possible experience.

Why they chose this property

Quiet no-through road location. Incredible views of the town, the harbour, across Torbay and out to sea. A spacious but cosy traditional fisherman's cottage which is immaculately presented, meticulously clean and fully equipped with everything for all guests, be that for family holidays or couples looking for a romantic getaway.

We appreciate how difficult holidaying with children can be, so the cottage is equipped with retractable baby gates and 2x toy chests to keep young children safe and entertained.
