Spacious cottage

Posted Jan. 1, 2025 on HomeAway
This cottage is more spacious than it looks. We had a family Christmas together and there was plenty of space for everyone and lots if different areas to spend time in. The cottage is extremely well equipped, and we cooked Christmas dinner. There is a garden area, but it is not directly outside the cottage, it is a large area and our grandchildren had a lot of fun playing in it. All beds were comfortable with clean linen. We know the area well and the cottage is 2 miles from Slapton village which is very pretty. The owners were very helpful and communiwith them was good. All in all we would recommend.

Family Holiday

Posted Aug. 5, 2024 on HomeAway
We stayed here for a week with our 3 children, their parners and 4 grand children, making a party of 12. The house was amazing, from a very well equipped kitchen, lovely bedrooms and relaxing seating areas, all beautifully decorated.There was a large garden, (athough the little ones needed supervision as there are two large ponds), and a lovely courtyard seating area. A very well stocked under stairs cupboard with windbreak, chairs, parasol etc for the beach.Also games,and a pool/table tennis table. We were lucky not to need them, but very useful if the weather not good. The area is perfect for a seaside holiday, we were lucky enough to have gorgeous weather, and visited Tor Cross, Bantham, Blackpool Sands and Bigbury.Nearby Dartmouth and Kingsbridge also. Highly recommend, a lovely property and good communication wth owner.

Thank you, Kevin for such a delightful and detailed response. We are so pleased that you had a lovely time and that you enjoyed Oak cottage so much. We worked so hard this year to decorate and to get new carpets throughout, so it is really rewarding to hear how much you appreciated our place. Thank you too for leaving the house in such a lovely condition which the cleaners remarked on. You will be most welcome back anytime. Very best wishes Alan and Karen

Short Break

Nice property and communication good. The property is tricky to get to on very narrow roads. Facilities at property very good, especially for families.

Dera Rachel Thank you for your review. We are disappointed that you gave Oak only 3* it seems you really enjoyed the cottage and it was the roads that concerned you. The roads in this part of the country are quite narrow at times and this is well known, but they can be safely managed as most guests find.

What a wonderful holiday

Posted Aug. 3, 2023 on HomeAway
We had a great time in Oak. Everything Karen said about the property was how it was in reality - the photos dont do it justice. We had a gentle lead up to the holiday with a nice conversation from Karen as to the weather and what to do when in Devon. Always on hand and never intrusive. The property itself was deceptively large especially with the games room. The pool table was a hit. The parking was spacious - certainly when compared to London. The kitchen was well equipped with two fridges and plenty of storage and loads of utensils. The decor was modern, clean, welcoming and comfortable. The gardens were relaxing and we tried the BBQ pits which also worked very well. Karen and team had done a great job to ensure we would have a good time - we did. The beds were dreamily comfortable with ample pillows and light duvets. The proximity to the beaches and other attractions was good - the lanes are, without a doubt, narrow and you have to go slowly and be prepared to back - frequently. Dartmouth was handy for shopping with a super Sainsburys and Lidl + fuel. Thank you.

Lovely clean property. Fairly isolated but plenty to do in the area.

Idyllic and peaceful

Posted Jul. 7, 2022 on HomeAway
We (a group of 6) had a lovely time here - we especially loved the attention to detail, cleanliness and a genuine sense that our hosts cared about every little thing. For the South Hams, this property was relatively centrally located, with easy access to all the locations and attractions in the area. Thank you so much!

A lovely group get together

Posted May 13, 2022 on HomeAway
A lovely property in a quiet part of the Devon countryside. It is set with a few other properties in a converted barn on the grounds of a larger house. There were 3 families in our group consisting of a baby, children and adults. The house itself was well equipped for all ages. The kids loved the garden as well as the pool/table tennis. There was plenty of space inside to spread out. The host was really helpful and even called to check our needs before we arrived. Beware of the narrow lanes in the area! The house was a 10 minute drive from the coast and there were some lovely walks. We also took trips to Dartmouth and Totnes. All in all, a lovely place to stay! Thank you.

Lovely Birthday weekend

Posted Apr. 7, 2022 on HomeAway
I booked the cottage for family to celebrate my 60th birthday. The property was perfect to suit all age ranges with lots of space for the family to spend time together comfortably.

Our guests left the place in great shape, very clean and tidy and no evidence of the dogs who'd stayed over the weekend. This is always a bonus for us owners, as although we welcome well behaved dogs, we are always delighted when the renters adhere to the house rules on pets, so thank you very much & we are glad you enjoyed sharing your birthday with your family in Oak
