“We have had a wonderful break away at Burrows.”

While there the Owner showed us their other property, ‘Applemill’ - both properties rivalled ones we have stayed in on the Chatsworth estate. A welcome of milk, teabags, coffee and chocolate cake on arrival. High quality towels, china, bedding provided. Plenty of hot water and heating available. We chose not to use the hot tub this time but would next time due to the rigorous maintenance testing schedule by the owners to ensure levels were correct. Dressing gowns provided for hot tub ...

Property very comfortable throughout and open plan layout meant we all felt connected and joined in with meal preparation. Quiet location with beautiful views and sunset. Great night sky! Would definitely stay again and would like to stay at Applemill too! Sarah

“We had a fab stay for our anniversary Lovely cottage, very clean, kitchen utilities ample, Roads into property very narrow, unfortunately no local shop available nearest pub a drive away.”

Description for beautiful bedroom with bath has a shower over no walk in shower as described. Would definitely return for another holiday. Thank you for your hospitality

“This was a very comfortable and pleasant holiday property.”

Our only real complaint was the lack of outside seating for relaxing, two wooden loungers was not enough for four people which was disappointing when we had the sun. Also the wooden loungers had no cushions (very hard of the bum!!).

Hi Catherine, Thank you so much for your comments, we have taken your feedback onboard! They have been ordered, ready for your next visit. Delighted you all had such a great stay. Sarah Property Owner

“This is a very comfortable and well-equipped holiday cottage with spacious rooms, especially the two double bedrooms and their en-suite bathrooms.”

It is particularly suited to self-caterers as it has a large oven and a huge fridge-freezer. The owners were very responsive when we had a problem with the internet and came round to replace the router. Venn Ottery is a picturesque small village with an interesting little church - with its own ghost! There are a number of good walks from the door, although some were still rather muddy after the wet Spring.

Thank you such for your super comments. It has been fabulous having you here, in our little peace of Haven in Devon. Love to see you again soo ! Property Owner

“Beautiful accommodation furnished to a high standard.”

Everything you need is provided. Very comfortable beds, great hot tub. Lovely location and good area for visiting many places.

“Burrows is the most comfortable of the many cottages we have stayed in, everything was well thought out and very good quality.”

We loved sitting out on the decking in the sunshine during the afternoon and snuggling up around the log burner in the evening. The property is well located in a beautiful rural location but within easy reach of lovely seaside towns and a couple of National Trust properties. The nearest pub, The Golden Lion had a great menu and we enjoyed a delicious meal there but the cottage kitchen is very well equipped and we mostly ate in.

- Adele, May 2024

It was super having you all stay, so glad you explored the local area, there is so much to do. Very much look forward to seeing you soon. Property Owner

“Excellent holiday property and a real home from home, with everything that you could possibly need.”

Fanatic location and great local info to hand.

- Wayne, May 2024

Thank you so much for your review. We very much forward to having you back! Property Owner
Joy May 2024

“Great cottage in a fairly easy to find location - Whatthreewords is fantastic and brought us to the door!”

The cottage is beautiful with well appointed kitchen and lovely bathrooms. Would be great for an adult only holiday as each bedroom has its own bathroom. Lovely outside space but probably too small for children to run around in if you were not spending time away from the property. Good WiFi and great TV. Wood burner a great extra and made to place warm and cosy. Only negative was the beds which seemed a bit too soft and slightly lumpy. We also had an issue because all the bedding seemed to be feather (admit I didn't check this so my fault) and one of the party is allergic. Lovely place for a holiday with easy access to Exeter and the coast

- Joy, May 2024

Delighted you had a great holiday, great to have that escape from home, hope you are feeling relaxed and refreshed. Gather you felt the bed were not to your liking, I try to do a range of beds, always difficult to please everyone. All beds are 5 star hotel quality beds. All beds have feather and down duvets and pillows, we do have the others on request. Feed back is a great thing as it helps us make it better, thank you. Very much would like to welcome you back any time. Property Owner

“Cottage is complete with all you could ever need in the kitchen, gloriously comfy lounge and clean comforting bedrooms.”

Warm and high quality fittings and equipment. You don't usually get White Company bathware, Bodum caffetieres, Conran cutlery and hugely amusing artwork! Loved it.

- Charles, March 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. You were a pleasure to have as guests. Hope to see you again soon. Property Owner
