The facilities, including the well-equipped cottage and the hot tub, are generally praised. However, there is a mention of the music not working, which suggests a slight issue with maintenance.

East Devon's charming market town of Honiton has a lot to offer tourists. It is bordered by rolling Devon hills, verdant wooded valleys, and numerous dispersed rural communities. Honiton has a lovely Main Street reaching approximately 2 miles, and lined with independently owned stores, taverns, and restaurants. Since Elizabeth I's time, Honiton has been known for its lacemaking, and there are still a few of them working now. Visitors can view some exquisite specimens of old lace at the town's Allhallows Museum. Thelma Hulbert Gallery, located in the charming Grade I-listed Victorian home in Honiton, is the sole public art gallery in East Devon and has connections to the Hayward Gallery in London. The stunning Jurassic Coast, England's first natural World Heritage Site, is only a short drive from Honiton.

Getting to the cottage is not for the fainthearted, it's down a 1.5 mile long single track road. Once you do get to the end of the road though there are lots of beaches to visit & some beautiful villages with good pubs to eat out. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a peaceful break. Anna the host is lovely & very welcoming.

We were excited to try the eggs she had left for us from her chickens. She had also set us up with tea, coffee, sugar and a few other bits. She came and said hello on arrival the came back the following day with a baked cake for us, which taste amazing. She has also created a lovely welcome book with lots of information on the local area with recommendations. The bed was very comfortable and the shower room was great. We loved using the hot tub was a Nice treat. Was just Shame the music wasnât working. Really pleased and looking to come back again in the future.
