“Very relaxing stay, food was amazing and hostess is a very special lady”
+Greeted by Victoria and Grace with a bottle of wine and their three lovely dogs, which was very welcome. The cottage is beautiful and a proper home from home experience, we had dinner on our first might which was first class and the breakfast each morning was amazing. The country location is stunning and very peaceful whilst being close to transport links and attractions. The room was well appointed and very comfortable with slippers and gowns supplied along with tea/coffee facilities. Will definitely be staying again - highly recommended.
−Would have liked blackout curtains - but nothing not to like

+My wife and I loved the whole place and Victoria was impeccable! The room and bathroom were spacious and very cosy. The common spaces in this very old cottage are not to be missed, we very much enjoyed the quiet reading in the garden and in the living room. Last but not least, we strongly recommend dining at the Old Thatch. Victoria cooked the most amazing Italian meal for us… the recipes and the tastes reminded me straight away of my granny’s cuisine.

“Fantastic rural stay in gorgeous thatched cottage with amazing hosts”
+Very warm hosts, which included three Border Collies which we fell in love with. The property itself is a stunning and historic traditional thatched cottage which was tastefully decorated by the hosts. We were made to feel like we were friends staying with old mates - welcomed, provided Prosecco and lovely nibbles, invited to the local pub and the breakfast was outstanding. We would have no hesitations recommending a stay here.
−Nothing. But keep in mind that the bathroom is not attached directly to the room if that concerns you, but is exclusive use.

+What an amazing place to stay. Driving through the Devon countryside is such a joy. The Old Thatch was exquisite. We were met by our lovely host who showed us around this beautiful cottage. The bedroom and bathroom were perfect, my wife sat on the window seat in our bedroom admiring the rolling countryside. In the morning we were greeted with a special breakfast, cooked to perfection. We would highly recommend you pay a visit. D&K
