Overview
Description
Bay CottageA character, Grade II listed, cosy thatched cottage situated in the picturesque, rural village of Stoke Abbott.
The cottage has been a family home for over 40 years. We have left the decor in keeping with our mixed family culture being British with a Malaysian twist. Please do not expect a holiday let with IKEA neutral decor as our family still use the cottage as our home. Please treat our home and belongings with respect. We hope you love our cosy cottage as much as we do!
