Okay Holiday Cottage
By Sherralyn on 19-Sep-2026Smaller than it appears. ideal for 2 adults and small children, would be a bit cramped for 4 adults. Tony was very welcoming when we arrived and a lovely welcome pack. The washing machines were unreliable, worn and rusty. Bad draft from doors and 0.5cm-1cm gap you could see day light coming through. The roads to the property are atrocious, big pot holes and single track unmaintained road. Unsuitable for low vehicles.
Excellent
By Rein and Janneke M. on 20-Sep-2026We had a perfect three weeks holiday in Daisy Cottage. It was clean and everything you need was there, like good kitchen equipment, wifi, dvd, tv etc. Location is perfect : rural, quiet, but close enough tot small towns like Honiton and Colyton. Also just 15 minutes drive to the jurassic coast.Roads to access the property are very small and full of potholes but doable. It is part of the Devon experience!The host Tony is a very friendly, soft spoken man who is always there if you need him but absolutely not pushy.There's also a nice playground for kids on the premises.All in all nothing to complain about. It's just perfect for a quiet holiday. Highly recommended!

By Timothy B. on 29-Aug-2026Super stay in a beautiful, peaceful yet convenient location with plenty to do in the surrounding area. The cottage had everything we needed and our 4 year old loved the small play area. We had a lovely stay and would stay again.

By Jillert on 05-Jul-2026Wat een leuke mooie plek. In het huisje is alles wat je nodig hebt aanwezig. Toni is een hele aardige host. We hebben met ons gezin een heerlijke week gehad. Je zit lekker rustig maar met de auto ben je snel op verschillende plekken
