“Highly recommend this property as a very comfortable, spacious holiday home for a family. We had a great time here. Equipment & facilities were excellent. Games room & all accommodation was suitable for 3 generations of a family ages ranging from 23 to 84 years! We all had a great time. The Queens Arms at Slapton village provided excellent home cooked food.” Mr & Mrs G Primmer

“The House was one of the best holiday homes we have stayed in – spacious, well supplied, and with lots to do for little ones (big garden, ducks, owls, swings, playhouse.” Mrs K Abrams

“Lovely House, good location, have stayed here twice and enjoyed both stays. (Recommend arranging Tesco delivery for when you arrive – perfect!)” T Armstrong

“A beautiful house with loads of space, even with 13 members of our family. Everything you need is provided for. Wifi is a bit slow but this didn’t really matter. Extensive grounds, with lots of ducks and chickens for children to feed. Would I recommend this property? Most definitely.” C Price

“A great, well equipped house, with very comfortable facilities, ideal for a big group to stay in.” Holidaymaker

“This was a lovely big house for a large family like ours to stay the, conservatory and garden was great and having under floor heating was a plus. The location is so good to reach so many interesting places near at hand. It is really well equipped to cater for a large group. Bar billiards was a great hit also. All in all a great place to stay.” The Hancock Family

“This was our second visit to Buckland house (hopefully not our last) such a lovely, atmospheric house. Would love to make Christmas there one year perhaps! lots of space for large families with an amazing kitchen, holding every utensil needed.” Mrs.K.Davenport

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Buckland House. The house is very spacious and the grounds substantial. Everyone commented on what good night’s sleep they were getting. Plenty of bathrooms and hot water and excellent showers. The locality is very rural and journey times took longer as a result. Fabulous surrounding coastline and riverbanks to explore. Thanks we’ll certainly remember this holiday.” Mr R King

“We arrived at Cherry Cottage to find a well presented courtyard.  Parking is more than adequate for two cars (one of ours was actually a VW Transporter van).  We took two dogs along to meet with six of our friends for our annual new year get together.  I have so many positives I need to list them; the house was clean, the kitchen was very well equipped, the lounge was large and there was plenty of room for eight, as was the kitchen diner, the beds were comfortable, the area was quiet, the surrounding area was lovely (especially the walk at Slapton Sands if not windy!).  Lovely place and would definitely go back.” Michelle Bridge

“The house was bigger and more spacious than we had expected; it comfortably slept eight.  It was fully equipped with some extras eg tea, hot chocolate and dishwasher tablets/washing powder etc.  The heating was efficient; the en suite bathroom to the main bedroom was equipped with a powerful shower; no lack of hot water in the house.  Richard was in the area and dropped by to see that all was well, which it was.  The local area is beautiful.  We would definitely consider a return to this area and to this property.” Vincent Iwanek

“Cherry cottage is an outstanding property, plenty of room for 8 people that it sleeps.  It’s clean and well presented with fantastic facilities.” Katrina Warman

“Lovely large barn conversion sleeps 8.  There were plenty of ‘home from home’ facilities, including TV, VHS and DVD players, CD radio, all the kitchen equipment you could need in a large kitchen/diner, where the table will seat 8.  The area was lovely and quiet, set about 2 miles from the nearest village, which was very pretty and had a village shop and 2 pubs serving food.  For more facilities, travel to nearby Start Bay (the Start Bay Inn is a must – fresh seafood menu, absolutely delicious!) or Dartmouth where there are the usual supermarkets etc.  With Slapton Ley nature reserve on the doorstep and plenty of walking too, plus pebble beaches with lifeguards and clean toilets, what’s not to like?” Holidaymaker

“A very good family cottage, well equipped with plenty of internal space.  We were holidaying with two young grandchildren so the gardens were a real joy.  The area is ideal, tranquil and quiet but close to lots of facilities and activities.” Mrs J Knapp  

“A lovely big property in a courtyard with other properties.  Very well equipped and comfortable rooms/bedrooms.  We were a family of 6 and had a really lovely holiday.  Very challenging lanes but then this is Devon and soon learn how to reverse in tight situations.  I would have no hesitation in recommending this property as it is well situated, once you find the right way, and Slapton is not far away.” Mrs Winfield

We stayed here for a week with our 3 children, their partners 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.  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 recommended, a lovely property and good communication with owner.  Kevin  July 2024  

Oak Cottage is perhaps the best equipped holiday house ever! It’s spacious and comfortable, with games for rainy weather and a gorgeous garden with big BBQ and seating for when the sun shines. It’s tucked away in the countryside, a short drive along the narrow lanes from the sea, slightly further from several lovely seaside towns. Our family of 11 enjoyed a super long weekend here – can’t fault it. Thank you, Karen, for making everything just so.  July 2024

Great place for a full family holiday , everyone enjoyed our stay. Pool table great success. Paul – August 2024
