Rose Cottage Reviews

We had such a lovely holiday at Rose Cottage. The description and photos are exactly what is to be expected. My 2 year old son loved the hot tub, and feeding the fish in the pond. So much character at the cottage. The owners have spent money and love getting it to such a standard. The only thing that took us time to work out was the hob, so perhaps an information sheet regarding instructions how to use as well as a central heating guide . A cosy cottage with the fire at night which we supplied our own fuel, was nice relaxing way to unwind after a day of exploring. Great location to explore surrounding area, as well shops close to the cottage to buy supplies. Thank you for letting us stay at your cottage.
Anthony
A lovely property which was comfy and in a good location for visiting Devon. Lots of space to spread out with a living room, snug and conservatory together with a big kitchen. Outside was delightful with a garden up some steps with a pond and the apples and pears were in season and we're delicious. The hot tub was a favourite and with dark skies it was great to lie in the tub watching the stars. The kitchen whilst having the usual amenities could have had more space for our food to be stored and it would have been good to have had some instructions for the hob and ovens rather than have to text the owner who replied really quickly. All in all a nice week spent unwinding.
Great location if you like pease and quiet. Hot tub is a great place to relax. Not too far away from shops.
Colette
Had a lovely stay at rose cottage everything we needed lovely cottage. Im afraid I couldnt use the hot tub as too difficult for me to get in as have hip and knee replacements and to step in too deep for me , but daughter and son in law enjoyed. The road is very dangerous so backing into the drive was a bit scary maybe loose some of the front garden to make it easier and to go into property driving in ? A full size ironing board and iron would make laundry easier ironing on table top board not the best.
Just fabulous, nobody knows youre there, it is so well hidden by the wonderful garden. The cottage itself is beautiful inside and out and its in a great location with lots of walks for humans and dogs. Cant recommend more, loved it
