Generally good, but a few basics would have been nice, including a teapot which is such a pain to pack. A few things didn't work which I let the owner know, so hopefully all will be working when the season really gets going.

In the absolutely idyllic village of Lympstone lies this stunning cottage. (Not sure cottage is the correct description, more of an upside down house). A view of the River Exe is captured perfectly through a stunning large framing window. With comfortable seats offering the opportunity to sit and watch the world go by at your leisure.
