Perfect Rock House Cottage

We loved our stay at Rock House Cottage. It was super cute and cozy and had everything we needed plus lots of thoughtful extras from the hosts like bread, milk and jams. Excellent walking from the cottage or jump in the car to explore further a field. There is lots of information in the cottage of attractions and walking across Devon. Nice enclosed garden for our dog and with furniture to make use of the space. Communication from the hosts before our arrival was excellent. Nice pub a mile walk away served decent food. Others a bit further which can be reached by car. We would highly recommend and would book again if heading to the area. Oh and hetty, the hosts dog, is just gorgeous!
