    A welcome package was a very thoughtful addition to our stay. Our two Pointers loved the open fields and nearby wooded walks. Beverly and Simon were the perfect hosts and always happy to help with local knowledge of the surrounding areas and amenities. We can thoroughly recommend a stay at Little Trespettigue for a relaxing and calming break or holiday. Many thanks to you both Ruthie,Neil,Angus and Annie.

    This and the track was the main issue for me, the a30 is a fast and dangerous road and the entrance to the cottage is not always easy, the track itself is ok but not ideal! Cottage was really nice and lots off good walks, I would stay again.

  • Natalie

    The cottage is beautiful and peaceful with a lovely welcome package on arrival. My daughter loved seeing the horses, dogs and cats every day. My dog enjoyed playing with their dog too! Great location for a variety of activities, beach, puzzle park, horse riding. We will definitely be back.
