Characterful cottage in a lovely little village

Thorn Cottage is bursting with period features. Gill was very welcoming, showing us around on arrival. We ate at The Wild Goose on both nights of our stay and highly recommend both the pub and Thorn Cottage.

Amazing Stay !!!

Stayed here August Bank holiday week with my husband and our 6 year old grandaughter. I will start with the village which beautiful and has the most friendly residents. It has one pub called The Wild Goose in the heart of the village with an excellent selection of drinks and food, lovely Landlord too. The property is also minutes from the Estuary where there is a further pub with excellent views and menu. The property is in an excellent position for exploring all parts of Devon and is a stones throw from Newton Abbott, Paignton and Torquay. Lets talk about the property. What a beautiful quirky cottage. The host Gill and her husband live in the village and have given this their all, they are on hand to give you their knowledge of the area and deal with any queries you may have during your stay. It is beautifully clean and they have thought of everything when it comes to pleasing the guests. I stay in a lot of cottages each year and this has to be the best equipped kitchen I have ever come across. A car is necessary for a stay in this village like most of the small villages in Devon. Would recommend this place 100%

Perfect for family with dog

We was lucky to find a dog friendly place for my family (6 person including my daughter who is 4) The kitchen was lovely. That was our favourite in the house.The owner was very helpful and kind whenever I had questions she answered by what’s up. She have left wine, biscuits, coffee, milk for start and a bottle of wine too. The house is very close to beaches, waterfalls.

Old cottage with well equipped kitchen

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The kitchen is the heart of it. It is very well equipped, herbs and some start up consumables were kindly provided, 6 bar seats, no separate table. It is truly old with hand carved wooden beams and does have atmosphere. The sitting room with the old fire place was not quite to our linking but served as 3rd bedroom in our case anyway. Beds are in good condition, quite soft, British standard (king size). Good wlan, no mobile connection in the house. Good support by the host throughout our stay. Thank you!
