We were a group of 7 family members. Buzzard cottage was really great. It was so relaxing there. The sofas and the beds were so comfy. The owners were very welcoming and explained everything we needed to know. We used the games room a few times, we didn't mind paying 50p to use the pool table as the money goes to a local charity. The kitchen is wel l stocked with more than enough cutlery and crockery to cater for a large group. Would recommend staying here.

Buzzard Cottage was a really great place to stay - very tastefully and well furnished - and equipped for a family stay. The beds were very comfortable, and the owner went out of her way to be helpful. It is set in lovely E Devon countryside. Our family (14 of us aged 7 months to 76) had a great time and Buzzard Cottage worked perfectly for us.

Caroline

Lovely place to stay, great quiet location. We gad everything we needed. If you love having your dogs with you in the main lounge, this may not be the place for you. We are not dog owners, so not a problem for me. Otherwise it was a great stay and would recommend it, particulary if you were a large family party and wanted to use some if the other u nits as well

Lovely house lovely stay friendly owner. Thanks for the bottle of wine on arrival nice touch.

Jane

The house met our needs perfectly - a group of friends celebrating a birthday. The kitchen table was huge and there was plenty of seating. We made use of the hottub and games room, which were both great. There was a big area for dogs to run around (although not completely secure if you have an escape artist). Note that dogs are only allowed in the kitchen.
