“Perfect cottage in a perfect location”
We had a fabulous three days at 3 Gaberwell Cottages. The cottage was cosy but with plenty of space to relax. The decor is very tasteful and there is everything you need, from local maps to plan walks… More

“Family Xmas Break”
I booked the cottage to accommodate a Xmas get together with my son and family who live in Cornwall. Three of the deciding factors were that it is dog friendly (we have two dogs between us), centrally heated and has two lounge areas. It was a bonus to have a pub within walking distance although we didn’t actually visit but it looked cosy in there! We did visit the local beach which is about a three mile round trip to walk, but went by car because Breeze, our GSD, isn’t up to such long walks now. It was worth the effort with a beach from the sea to the estuary - you have to be mindful of tide times though! The cottage itself was very cosy, lovely and warm and comfortably furnished. The lounge had a Xmas tree and decorations. We were able to make space for all of our Xmas food and had everything we needed in terms of pots and pans to cook dinners. Our five year old Granddaughter’s bedroom had stairs up to the very low ceiling roof space with a big tv, games and bean bags. She was able to negotiate the stairs but a younger child or adult with mobility issues might struggle. The utility room with sink was useful for cleaning footwear and the washer and tumble drier were very efficient and useful especially as it rained every day of our two weeks! We were able to allocate a bathroom per couple which was convenient and the hot water was plentiful although it appeared to shut down at 11pm. We all slept well in comfortable beds and enjoyed the peace and quiet. The dogs were safe in the enclosed garden but, inside, our GSD struggled to negotiate the laminate flooring throughout and benefited from ‘islands’ that I made from her bedding and towels so that she could be with us without sliding around. The location of the cottage was great for exploring - we visited Plymouth, Totnes, Hope Cove, Thurlestone Sands and Salcombe. The roads are narrow, part of the charm to my mind, but passing places are plentiful. I would recommend the cottage, the booking process for which was very straightforward and efficient, including contact with the owner who was willing to answer any questions.

“Fabulous Gem in rural location”
Very well appointed home with lots of space and all the gadgets and laundry tools you’ll need for a beach holiday. The walk to the beach us about 20 mins across fields .. great for dogs and children. Welcome foodie basket very well received after a long journey. Very quiet village with some narrow Devon roads but lots of passing places so don’t be put off.

“Lovely quiet cottage with everything you need!”
We stayed in the cottage for part of the Easter holidays and loved our stay. The cottage is spacious and is plenty of room for a family of 6. Having 2 bathrooms was useful with 4 girls! The kitchen had everything you needed for home cooking/baking/packed lunches. Beds were comfy with extra pillows if needed. The attic snug with smart TV was perfect for the little ones. Garden was a good size for the children to play and outside there was a BBQ and seating for those warmer evenings. Lots of walks from the cottage are available and not too far to walk to a little private beach. Really enjoyed this break and very grateful to John and Penny for the hospitality shown.
