Burrows Reviews

We have had a wonderful break away at Burrows. While there the Owner showed us their other property, Applemill both properties rivalled ones we have stayed in on the Chatsworth estate. A welcome of milk, teabags, coffee and chocolate cake on arrival. High quality towels, china, bedding provided. Plenty of hot water and heating available. We chose not to use the hot tub this time but would next time due to the rigorous maintenance testing schedule by the owners to ensure levels were correct. Dressing gowns provided for hot tub too! Property very comfortable throughout and open plan layout meant we all felt connected and joined in with meal preparation. Quiet location with beautiful views and sunset. Great night sky! Would definitely stay again and would like to stay at Applemill too! Sarah
We had a fab stay for our anniversary Lovely cottage, very clean, kitchen utilities ample, Roads into property very narrow, unfortunately no local shop available nearest pub a drive away. Description for beautiful bedroom with bath has a shower over no walk in shower as described. Would definitely return for another holiday. Thank you for your hospitality
Andrew
This is a very comfortable and wellequipped holiday cottage with spacious rooms, especially the two double bedrooms and their ensuite bathrooms. It is particularly suited to selfcaterers as it has a large oven and a huge fridgefreezer. The owners were very responsive when we had a problem with the internet and came round to replace the router. Venn Ottery is a picturesque small village with an interesting little church with its own ghost! There are a number of good walks from the door, although some were still rather muddy after the wet Spring.
Beautiful accommodation furnished to a high standard. Everything you need is provided. Very comfortable beds, great hot tub. Lovely location and good area for visiting many places.
Burrows is the most comfortable of the many cottages we have stayed in, everything was well thought out and very good quality. We loved sitting out on the decking in the sunshine during the afternoon and snuggling up around the log burner in the evening. The property is well located in a beautiful rural location but within easy reach of lovely seaside towns and a couple of National Trust properties. The nearest pub, The Golden Lion had a great menu and we enjoyed a delicious meal there but the cottage kitchen is very well equipped and we mostly ate in.
Excellent holiday property and a real home from home, with everything that you could possibly need. Fanatic location and great local info to hand.
Great cottage in a fairly easy to find location Whatthreewords is fantastic and brought us to the door! The cottage is beautiful with well appointed kitchen and lovely bathrooms. Would be great for an adult only holiday as each bedroom has its own bathroom. Lovely outside space but probably too small for children to run around in if you were not spending time away from the property. Good WiFi and great TV. Wood burner a great extra and made to place warm and cosy. Only negative was the beds which seemed a bit too soft and slightly lumpy. We also had an issue because all the bedding seemed to be feather admit I didn't check this so my fault and one of the party is allergic. Lovely place for a holiday with easy access to Exeter and the coast
Charles
Cottage is complete with all you could ever need in the kitchen, gloriously comfy lounge and clean comforting bedrooms. Warm and high quality fittings and equipment. You don't usually get White Company bathware, Bodum caffetieres, Conran cutlery and hugely amusing artwork! Loved it.
