“Wide choice of cottages in the South Devon area we wanted to stay in . The cottage we stayed in was accurately described and the information given after our booking was made was most helpful .”

“Easy to search and book accommodation. The cottage (barn conversion) that we stayed in exceeded our expectations. The best welcome pack we have ever had, comfy sofas and bed. Huge field for our two dogs to run about in, we were lucky as the cottage now only allows 1 dog but we had booked before this changed. Walks from the door, pub 15minute walk away, absolutely fab farm shop over the road, selling fruit,veg and some fridge stuff. Owners were on hand to help but not intrusive. Would definitely return if ever in the area again. We didn't want to leave to be honest.”

“It exceeded our expectations in that it was much better presented than the website details indicated. It was the ideal accommodation and location for my close family celebration of my wife’s 70th birthday. Even the weather was nice and we had a great time. I’d certainly recommend this property to anyone wanting comfortable high quality living for up to ten people.”

“The cottage near Slimbridge was not as we expected, to some extent. It was quaint as described but did have its good and bad points. The garden looked as though it could be a good space, but it was very messy and the gardener was no where to be seen all week. Next door by the parking space, there was a few bags of garden rubbish and it was generally a messy area. The interior of the house was very quirky and we thought some of the space was well laid out. The rug under the table was threadbare and had seen better days. In the kitchen we had to clean some utensils and pots before we could use them. The 2 small frying pans were dirty and one still had old oil in it, also a couple of pans were rusty. Obviously the previous occupants didn’t bother to clean the pans, and the cleaning team didn’t do their job either.They were cleaner when we left. The whole place was could have done with a good dust. The bed was a little soft , didn’t spoil our sleep. On the good side the heating and water temperature was easily controlled. The Smart TV was good and easy to use. We used the washer and the Dishwasher both easy to use. A Gas hob was a godsend I can’t stand using electric hobs. The rainfall shower was great. On the whole we enjoyed our stay and easy to use as a base for travelling around. Just a few niggly points spoilt it.”

“Our stay in Porthtowan was lovely. Beachside was extremely clean with an amazing welcome pack, the best I have experienced in decades of winter cottage holidays. Very friendly owners and perfectly positioned for pub, beach and fabulous coastline walks.”

“Very clean, well equipped property, but rather small for 4 adults and 2 children. One bathroom was not enough and downstairs toilet cramped. House was cold because of February weather and gaps in windows and under doors. Very close to beach.”

“Straightforward site with no gliches like B**king. Com ! Like the easy to spot icons with info saying where pets are NOT allowed...made it easier for us to book a place that was pet free...have had bad past experiences in cottages where pets are welcome !”

“A very wide variety of cottages to choose from. I like the format of the website, very easy to navigate and lots of good pictures of the properties. Also, plenty of information about the properties. The only reason I have not given 5 stars is simply due to the fact that it is a central office dealing with the bookings and if you have any specific questions about particular areas of the properties they don't have local knowledge. Smaller cottage companies have that more detailed information which they can provide.”

“Iveing View has literally become our 2nd home. We recently returned from our 6th visit and, as always, had a wonderful time. The cottage is well appointed and very well maintained. It was scrupulously clean for our arrival. Situated on the outskirts of Ambleside, it is but a short walk from the town centre. Public transport links are excellent. You'll not find a better place to stay in the glorious Lake District.”
