A really excellent stay in a super cottage. Simply all the previous reviews are spot-on. As soon as you open the door and step in, you feel at home. Downstairs is a good kitchen with breakfast table and a large comfortable bedroom with en-suite shower and toilet. Lovely to get a bottle and snacks on arrival a nice touch. The large living area is upstairs with a dining table and amazingly comfortable chair and sofa. Wi-fi worked well and and good size TV although couldn’t always get signal for regular channels but streaming was fine. Beware the sloping ceiling that my head met a few times! Radiators kept the house really warm too. Lovely village as well Church House pub less than 100 yards away with excellent food, beer, atmosphere and service. Sad we only went for one meal. Opposite is a friendly community shop open 7 days a week, nearest supermarkets in Teignmouth or Newton Abbot. Finally, great to meet lovely hosts Maddy and Godfrey and appreciated their suggestions for trips. Many thanks. Couldn’t fault anything, highly recommend and hope to visit again.

The cottage was warm and welcoming on arrival with lovely christmas decorations and a basket of goodies. The log burner was perfect for cold evenings. It was ideally positioned for sightseeing. The local pub across the road is ideal for an evening meal or just drinks. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

The cottage was all & more than we expected with attention to detail & everything provided to make it a home from home situated in a charming village. Property owner was very welcoming & provided lots of information on areas to visit in the locality. The local shop is incredibly well stocked & the local pub, The Church House Inn only yards along the road from the cottage was warm & welcoming serving excellent food from a wide menu meaning there was no need to travel out of an evening for a meal.

The village was picturesque, a very handy community shop that stocked all essentials, lovely village pub and great walks. Maddy and Geoffrey were perfect hosts and the bottle of wine upon arrival was a lovely gesture. I could not fault this property and would highly recommend. Hope to revisit some day soon.

Friendly Cottage

We very much enjoyed our short stay at Acorn Cottage. It is a welcoming and homely place, perfectly equipped and with friendly hosts. The accommodation itself was spotless and comfortable. The lounge is spacious and has a quality woodburner, the kitchen is very well equipped, and the bedroom is airy and quiet. Excellent.I have come to realise that, for me, the best holiday accommodation has good walks available from the front door; the walks at Acorn Cottage were first rate. We parked our car when we arrived, and we drove off in it when we left; otherwise it sat on its little space and kept itself to itself. We walked the local hills and we were able to join the Coastal Path, which makes Shaldon and Maidencombe easily accessible. Well, the climbs and descents are not that easy, to be fair! The village has a well-stocked shop and a fine pub. It is a very tranquil and peaceful village, untroubled by traffic or haste.

Good location

The property was perfect for a couple breakaway. Village was extremely pretty with a fantastic pub two minutes walk away. The food was home cooked and plentiful (real ales and great wine list) ate there most nights. The cottage had everything you needed and the owner couldnt have been any nicer or more accommomodating. Little village shop which had most things and the villagers were lovely. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely accommodation

This cottage is really lovely. Great location, nice host and has everything needed for a holiday. The pub in the village is a minutes walk and serves nice food - what more coul you want. We stayed in November but I would like to visit in spring or summer as the garden looks a great place to sit and have a glass of wine.
