Buzzard Cottage was a really great place to stay - very tastefully and well furnished - and equipped for a family stay. The beds were very comfortable, and the owner went out of her way to be helpful. It is set in lovely E Devon countryside. Our family (14 of us aged 7 months to 76) had a great time and Buzzard Cottage worked perfectly for us.

Buzzard Cottage was perfect for our party of 10 + dog. It is well equipped, very well laid out, plenty of space for everyone, cosy and comfortable. The hot tub was much appreciated, as was the games room and the garden area. Everyone in our party felt the same about Buzzard Cottage.
