We loved our stay at the Primrose Cottage! Helen and Richard went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and provided us with a lovely warm home for our 10 day stay. Nothing better than being welcomed by some homemade scones! The location is tranquil and with the car many beautiful little villages can be visited. We hope to be able to return one day.
SwitzerlandNice cosy cottage with good facilities, nice quiet location and lovely host.
United KingdomReally nice house - quiet location with everything you need for a holiday - really welcoming touch to have scones and clotted cream on arrival.
United KingdomWe have stayed in many holiday homes from tiny little cottages to large coastal properties. This property was right at the top in terms of value for money. The standard of the facilities was extremely high. The welcome pack of scones jam cream and butter as well as milk tea coffee and sugar was very much appreciated. Our dog wasn’t forgotten either as there were some food pouches for him as well. The owners have gone over and above to supply anything you could possibly need for a short or long break in their beautiful cottages. Although due to Covid some of the soft furnishings were taken away, the cottage still felt like a real home from home. We can’t wait to go back! (It was only 20 minutes from our favourite beach at Instow which was a bonus).
United KingdomEverything from the welcoming cream tea to the cottage having literally everything we could possibly need.
United KingdomIt is situated in a conveniently isolated position yet near to main road .excellent facilities within the cottage ,plus recycling shed (which I was very pleased to find !) Ample parking . The key was easy to find in the key safe and we were greeted by a cream tea ,milk ,tea ,coffee and many basics .Excellent ! Dishwasher ,washing machine ,everything provided again excellent . Beautiful original art on the walls ( for sale ) Sparkly clean bedding and towels and a very comfortable bed ..excellent ! Gallons of hot water ... Spotlessly clean and ample cleaning and sanitising products supplied . Stunning area of Devon Saunton sands is a must as is one of the beautiful long wide Devon beaches with Parking at £1:20 an hour .Putsborough beach is my favourite but the parking astronomical !! The pub on the main road through Georgeham Served the best food and was exceptional! If you have time go to the Eden Project but expect a long walk as the little bus isn’t running at the moment .
United KingdomEverything beautiful quaint cottage out in the country as that’s exactly what I look for. Helen was so lovely helpful and on hand for anything.
United KingdomThe property is beautiful very spacious and very well equipped. Upon arrival it was cleaned to the highest standard with everything being immaculate. Helen was lovely and we loved the scones - a lovely personal touch. Can’t recommend highly enough staying here we have had a wonderful holiday and we will definitely return!
United KingdomThe location is peaceful but not far from the coast and the sights.
United KingdomLovely location, beautiful cottage, excellent hosts. Faultless ,would love to stay again. Would give an 11 out of 10
