  Beautifully clean, gorgeous views, swimming pool fantastic, lots to do 20-30with kids families.

  The outside area was huge, we could picnic or bbq on the field by the play equipment and the views from there were gorgeous. The pool was a nice temperature, the air in the pool room was warm and it was a clean and bright environment. We went almost every day. The kids played in the barn, there’s no small role play items eg. Pans and plates and pretend food so bring your own couple of bits if needed. Our kids just played with imaginary food though! Huccaby cottage was very well maintained and clean. Shower good temp / pressure ( husband had to duck due to lovely old beams), I was happy and it was so clean and bright. Kids stayed in twin room which they loved, they wanted the bunk beds in the next room but it was a smaller warm room and doesn’t have a wardrobe, just to bear in mind if larger group. The kitchen had been updated since the photos and was very nice with extra fridge in utility and downstairs loo, washing line outside and space for drying inside too. It was just lovely. The place was nice and cool downstairs, I was concerned about overheating during heat wave but thick stone walls kept it cool. Upstairs did get warm but as soon as you figured out when to shut the blinds and when to open the velux windows you could cool it down for the nights sleep. And just jump in the pool to cool down after tea. Location was nice. We did Teignmouth for beach, playground and crabbing, Brixham for walks and crabbing, Broadsands for sandy beach and walk over to Elberry cove which was stunning,Paignton steam train and ferry to pretty Dartmouth, shopping and castle at Totnes and we drove an hour from the cottage to a puzzling place for the kids called Hidden Valley which was worth it and spent the day there. Lots to do. Theres a nice pub 5 minute drive from the cottage too. Immediate lanes are narrow but there’s always a passing place and you’re only on them for 5 minutes before you hit the main roads (if you follow owners directions) so I’d say that’s a win.

  There’s no smart tv so plan ahead, we brought a tablet for the kids to watch and the cottage had wifi to connect to. Theres a dvd player, We bought cheap dvds from a charity shop to watch together.

  Lovely stay in a great location with great facilities

  Well equips, spacious cottages with private outdoor space. The play barn, play ground and pool were a big hit with adults and kids alike.

  What a awful shame, writing this as I am returning home feeling rather disappointed, i originally would have this rated a 9.8 due to a beautiful cottage in a lovely location. When it says luxury it means luxury , no expense spared on the cottages , but had an issue on departure day , after a misunderstanding of using the pool , we booked this for departure day while the owner was showing us around on the day we had arrived , it has a booking system where you fill in your name and book hourly slots on paper at the entrance to pool , anyway so we get in to the pool the owner comes in and quite rudely tells us to get out and that he's just cleaned the pool and added chemicals to it , I apologise and we leave , I mention to my husband who was getting changed at the time , how he made me feel uncomfortable and tell him how I felt he had spoken to me rudely , my husband approaches him to say look we obviously never reliased we were not supposed to use the facilities but we are very well travelled and every other place we have visited it says vacate accommodation at a certain time which we did but we were under the impression we could use the pool as the owner had been there when we had booked in that slot originally, and discussed in front of him how we were going to have a swim before we left , he even made a comment how people rush to book in all swims when there is no normally no need , we felt he could have taken a more polite approach around this as we intended no wrong doing , the man then continued getting more rude and aggressive while we tried to resolve the situation , as we never like to leave leaving bad intentions , my daughter actually cried while leaving as she felt uncomfortable with his attitude , we told the owner it was a shame as we would of liked to of came back in the future but now wouldn't due to the confrontation, and he said he didn't care , he said he was trying to safe guard the children from the chemicals in the pool , we then...

  See above .
