The cottage was absolutely spotless and in perfect state of repair. Neil was really nice, popped in to see us and make sure we had everythign and messaged to see if we needed anything (which we didn't!) He offered a later checkout which was especially nice. We had a really relaxing stay, lovely walks from the house to Maidencombe beach (very friendly cafe owners and delicious coffe and healthy cookies) and on Dartmoor.

A little smaller than it looked on booking form, otherwise fine and very clean.Could do with providing bedside lights. had to get out of bed to turn main light off. Also very dark when getting out of bed to use bathroom during the night. Also a little effort on the garden area would be good to make it more attractive to sit in.However enjoyed our stay very much.

Perfect for our short stay

We stayed in the Annex for three nights. Neil came to meet us shortly after we arrived to check that everything was OK. He offered us some sausages that he had just collected from the butcher, made from his own pigs which had jest been slaughtered. They were delicious.Our visit was to see Torquay, where my mother grew up, and visit places I remembered from childhood visits.The location is very private yet convenient to everything that we needed.If we ever come this way again, we would love to stay again.

Extremely clean, beautiful location, everything you needed for a perfect stay was there. As a blind person the layout of the cottage was excellent and the walk in shower was fantastic. The outside space had wonderful views of the countryside and it was a pleasure to have breakfast and an evening drink with my husband. Parking no problem and host was very friendly. The only downside was that we didn’t book it for longer. Treat to find the TV and microwave easy to use for us oldies.

Amazing position, so peaceful but brilliantly located to lots of wonderful places to visit. Maiden Combe beach is a joy and a lovely walk. Excellent for those who, like me, want to swim. Parking space an absolute bonus

Great little cottage

Our stay at Rosemary Cottage Annex was very comfortable. The bed was so nice, and the cottage was spotless. Beware the cottage is down a steep lane, but once there the view is well worth it. It would have been nice to have salt and pepper and coffee and tea available, amenities we have had at every other accommodation we stayed at during our tour of the U.K.

Perfect retreat!

Perfect property for a couple’s retreat. Ideally located, Torquay, Teignmouth within 15 minutes drive of the property, with Maidencombe beach and pub 5 minutes. Cottage is clean and has everything needed for a holiday. Neil was helpful with a couple of questions pre the holiday and was around if required during our stay. Will definitely look to come back at some point. Richard and Julie.

Stay in Devon

Annexe was very welcoming. Exceptionally clean and well equipped. It would have been nice and useful to have a bedside lamp, then the person near the wall could read, but not have to get out of bed to turn off the main light. Otherwise great stay. Would happily recommend
