Beautiful cottage
Acorn Cottage is a lovely comfortable and spotlessly clean property. We were Lucky with the weather so got to sit in the sun on the lovely patio. The cottage is tastefully decorated and there was everything we needed for our stay. If we visited the area again l would definitely book this beautiful cottage.

New Year Stay
Lovely, well equipped cottage, very quiet, despite being in the centre of the village. Sadly, the polished wooden staircase wasn’t featured in the pictures of the property, not ideal for guests for 70+ years! Local pub, brilliant for meals.

Delightful
Cottage is lovely, very tastefully furnished and with everything you would need. Hosts Maddy and Godfrey are delightful, making sure all ok and giving lots of recommendations of walks and places to go. The wood burner was an added bonus and made the cottage extra comfy and cosy. It’s in a lovely little village and has 2 really nice pubs, one about 50yds away and another about a mile. We had a lovely stay and highly recommend the cottage!

Cosy winter walking weekend
Super! :-) Home from home, exactly as described. Lots of special touches, like milk, flowers on the table, toiletries, dressing gown & slippers. Lovely to have a choice of eating breakfast downstairs in the kitchen, and dinner upstairs in the dining area, then relax in front of the log burner after walking over Shaldon Bridge to Teignmouth beach and back (via the local pub The Church House Inn among a village full of pretty thatched cottages , also walked down to Coombe Cellars pub - notice the recurring theme ;-) ). We also drove to Totnes market, Paignton & Torquay. Our hosts were super friendly too, with lots of ideas for walks. Hope to stay with you both again :-)

Lovely peaceful bolthole in gorgeous village
We really couldn't fault this gorgeous little cottage and our stay at Acorn Cottage. Such a lovely village in a really beautiful part of the country with some lovely walks right on the doorstep (be prepared for hills!). Madelaine and Godfrey have made this little cottage really homely, with wonderful attention to detail and it is super-clean. The photos don't do it justice, the property is actually quite spacious, well equipped and has a pleasant outdoor seating area. There is a great pub opposite which serves really good food and a well-stocked village shop. We really loved staying here, the cottage is good value for money and we hope to return. Thank you!

Xmas Holiday
My partner and I stayed there all of Christmas as we just wanted a Quiet Christmas. From start to finish we had a Fantastic time. Everything was perfect. The Cottage was very warm with the Heating plus we had a Log Fire. Definitely give it a score of 10 out of 10 for Cleaning. It was also Decorated very lovely with Tree, Lights and all sorts of tasteful Decorations. 500 yards down the road was a Fabulous old Fashioned Pub. We went there for a meal on Boxing Day and it was Delicious. The Landlord was really friendly and all the Staff. If you need a place to stay in that area I would 100% recommend Acorn Cottage. Maddie who owns the Cottage was very helpful and very friendly. This Cottage is a Credit to her.
