    Bathroom in need of tlc, could not get hob to work although that may have been pilot error.

    Had a really good night's sleep, bed was lovely and comfortable. Just about right size for 2 people. Staff in the restaurant were absolutely lovely, really helpful and always smiling, food was very good too.

    Nothing

    Clean tidy well situated of the M5 for the 1/2 way stop to Devon. Quirky in character and the pub food next door as spot on. A big bonus was the electric charger for the car which we were allowed to charge for free. Would defo stop again. Hosts were spot on.

    Nothing at all.

    Checking in was really easy, as we received a message on the day of arrival, informing of us of the location of the keys within a lock box, so there was no need to check in as such. The parking was on a massive car park that serves the pub and right next to the cottage, so no long walk with heavy bags. The cottage was perfect for our overnight stay, with a double bed upstairs and a sofa bed downstairs, facing the TV, which also has Netflix and Youtube ( good for the kids ! ) The little kitchen had everything we needed- fridge, toaster, kettle, fridge, microwave and even a coffee machine. The bathroom is downstairs, next to the kitchen and with the ceilings being so low due to the age of the cottage, I had to stoop when stood in the bath getting a shower and anyone around 6ft plus, would have the same problem ( didn`t bother me though ) There`s a bit of road noise from the road outside, so if you`re a light sleeper ear plugs may required. The views from the car park and the back of the pub / beer garden are simply stunning and there`s a play area for the kids which is part of the pub too. Lastly we ate in the pub and not only is the pub beautiful, but the food was out of this world and tremendous value for the quality of the food. ( the real ale was very well kept too ) Also the pub had the bonus of a proper pub dog - Fred, who kept the whole pub entertained !!!! I wouldn`t hesitate to go back.

    Would have like more of a garden to just pop the dogs into rather than having to walk them to the playing field. Although the dogs did enjoy playing with Freddy the pub dog.

    It was a very cosy cottage and loved the layout. Lots of parking and very close to pub and dog walks.

    Myself, husband, 2 children and our dog stayed over night and were very happy with how comfortable and clean the accommodation was. It’s a beautiful little cottage, perfect for our over night stay! We would definitely recommend to anyone! There was plenty of accessories to help with your stay in the kitchen if you need them. Pub right in front of you and the most beautiful view. Peaceful at night with only the sound of the odd car going by!
