  What a beautiful and super comfy cottage!

  The location is just perfect!! Within the cottage itself you have pretty much everything you need! The beds are incredibly comfortable and we slept like babies. We were a group that included myself, my son, my disabled mother and my 2 dogs and we absolutely loved our stay there. Feedback that will hopefully help future residents and the hosts would be that the gardens are amazing! There is only one however that currently is only truly and safely enclosed and that is the smaller back one. My dogs are escape artists and they soon found some gaps in the larger one that almost got them through to a neighbouring property. The front driveway garden is segmented into 2 further gardens. The main one currently needs maintenance as the fence to the garage and driveway is broken and we had to put the bin across it to use it, which was fine. The second walled area also has some gaps by the stream and one of my dogs got out and it took us a while to get her back. Once we knew though, we just kept them restricted to the house and immediate back garden. The downstairs shower room disabled seat needs repairing, so would advise checking it has been before using it, but the shower itself is incredible. Then my only other suggestions to the owner would be that given my mother is disabled, it would be better that one of the upstairs, higher beds was in the downstairs bedroom as it’s not easy for her to get up from in the night (just a simple swap) and the the dining room chairs are very low for the table as you sink into them and again, difficult for someone with mobility problems to get out of. While this seems negative, I want to stress that overall, the cottage is fabulous! It just needs a few tweaks, a bit of love on the outside and some simple maintenance bits done (oh and a hairdryer please as I was stupid and forgot mine!) and it would be six star in my view. All of this said I would 100% go back again as the house itself and the location were just divine!

  Love, Love, Loved the cottage!

  It was a perfect stay. The location was stunning and so quiet, we settled in to the cottage straight away, it felt like home. The cottage was a great balance between all the mod cons we could want and the charm and character of a very unique property. Cockingtom is such a beautiful place which has a sunning park to walk the dog, we ate quite a few times at the drum pub just a 5-minute walk away, the food is lovely, it’s very dog friendly but I do recommend booking because it’s very popular. The only thing that would make our stay even better would to have a few more cushions that fit the garden furniture outside. Luckily, we took a couple of foldable chairs with us so wasn’t a problem. We’d like to suggest getting a couple of sun loungers they would be perfect to use in the cottages amazing garden to take advantage of the glorious Devon weather. We will definitely be booking again next year as we enjoyed it so much.

  Location was fantastic with a most amazing view across Torbay. This side of Torquay was very quiet, close to millionaires road!! With Meadfoot beach very accessible and an excellent large dog walking grass area just up the road , our dog had a great time too. Meadfoot beach cafe was open in the November - great to have close by. Directions to property were very accurate. Property was exactly as described. Very spacious as we used both levels, giving us 2 cookers, 2 fridge freezers and even 2 dishwashers! It was very well equipped , as we catered mostly at home - having found an excellent fish monger nearby in stmarychurch - so we ate local catches ! Property was warm and cosy with efficient central heating. Was a very good base for exploring the area and local walks close by. Car parking was no problem on road right opposite the house. We’d love to stay here again in the future.

  We have both had an amazing weekend staying at Kilmorie Lodge. The Studio is truly wonderful and exceeded our expectations. It was warm, comfortable & had everything (if not more) than we needed. We particularly enjoyed a home-made Cappuccino from the coffee machine, whilst looking out at the beautiful sea views. The bed is better than our one at home, very comfortable! The Studio is in a perfect location, with lots to do in the area. Wish we didn't have to leave. Thank you very much Robin for providing us the opportunity to stay here, we hope to come back in the near future! Oh and the Saffron Restaurant you recommended made us the best curries we have had in a long time!! We were also very fortunate to have the sun shining, considering it was snowing in Essex when we left!

  Beautiful cottage in a fabulous location.

  We loved our stay and will return, there are a few things that that could easily be changed to make it superb though….. Fridge freezer not adequate for size of cottage, could be replaced with an American style one. Dining chairs need changing, it was a struggle to reach the table. Correct cushions are required for garden furniture, cushions provided were not fit for purpose.. No wardrobe in one of the bedrooms. Which is odd if you have 6 paying adults… bit unfair we thought. The above are just our observations and didn’t impact our stay although we struggled with the fridge capacity. Thank you Meadow-thatch for a fantastic week.
