Cottage Review:   Just had a week's holiday here. Cottage is very good. The owner provided logs for the wood burner. Ideally situated for sidmouth, beer seaton and the donkey sanctuary. The owners were very helpful and welcoming. The site at night is so dark it's perfect if your into stargazing. The rooms are a very good size and clean. There is central heating in addition to the wood burner. The access lane is quite narrow but with lots of passing points. We would definitely recommend a stay here. It would be doggy heaven, lots of walks.
