Lovely accommodation, very sympathetically refurbished. We had a good week despite mixed weather and a much needed rest. Dogs loved it too with wonderful walks along the old railway line. Seeing nature at its best. Thank you to our friendly hosts.

Stayed in the Signal Box over Christmas, was so relaxing with plenty of local walks either from the cottage or a short drive. Owners were very welcoming with advise and information on the local area.

This is an immaculate holiday home, very comfortable and well-equipped.
This is an immaculate holiday home, very comfortable and well-equipped. Lovely views from the large windows and some local wildlife, including rabbits in the garden. The gardens lead to a riverside walk and connect to a public path for longer walks, ideal for a stroll without having to take the car. Good base to explore the surrounding area and a couple of excellent cafes within a mile for superb breakfasts. Only difficulty is narrow, winding lanes locally so not really practical to walk to them. Nearest pub and larger shop are in village a couple of miles away.

A lovely way to spend an anniversary week. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable and the owners were friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, we spent some of our time walking in the vicinity. Salcombe and Dartmouth were nearby and many beaches.
