Really nice place, we had a fab time. Great location. We would definitely stay again. 

 

Our stay at Sweet Rose was perfect! 

It was very well equipped and super cosy and in a great location for accessing the coast path. 

 

The Sweet Rose is quite neat very small downstairs but a lovely bedroom,unusual to have bath there and I was a bit concerned that my wife could navigate the stairs as she has Parkinson’s but she was absolutely fine. The dog loved the garden and meeting the other dogs in the neighbouring cottages.We really enjoyed the visit and would recommend the cottages and the Barton area. 

 

Very cute + ideal for couples getaway, especially if you have a pet. I stayed here with my partner and my dog for few days enjoying south Devon’s seasides. Great place, would recommend. 

 

Came to visit family. It was a lovely place to return to every time. Very Quiet, as good as seen online 10/10 

Read the details in the folder provided by Martin and Kim, really is a God send especially if you have dogs. 

Cockington for a walk with without dogs. Then lunch at the Drum Inn. Make sure you visit the craft shops and church. Go to Berry head for view. 

The Garden Area is lovely. Nice to be able to let the hounds out first with a coffee in hand, I can imagine the summer having a glass or two in the sun. 

Cosy Cottage, warm, and welcoming. Thank you, nice touches, wine, snacks and treats for the dogs. 

 

We wanted to discover Devon and this is an ideal location to do that. Car Park a bit tights and clearer signage to the cottage needed. Don’t expect the Ritz as this is a really old cottage, but very quirky, quaint and functional. Cockington was lovely and quaint with thatched cottage and country walks. Paignton looks great for kids. Nice town centre. Brixham was our favourite. The stairs are tricky, the bath was great and the bed comfy. Martin was great. He met us when we got here and was full of banter. Bottle of wine on arrival was a nice touch. Thanks for letting us stay and we will return at some point. 

 

Quaint & Unique , just perfect: 3 day break, easy to find with local shops close by. Parking is tight so ensure you reverse park for ease of getting out of the carpark. Hosts are wonderful. The cottage is so cute for 2 people, plus our dog, everything you need. Oven works well and the welcome note and wine, treats for the dog was a lovely gesture. Pic shows spiral staircase, be prepared for the steepness. Great use of space. Bath is lovely to soak in after a day exploring the area. Loved our stay and we will be back. 

 

We are so thankful we found your stunning home – what a little gem, already looking at dates to come back. We loved the relaxed atmosphere that left us super chilled; a short break away from the fast pace in London. Our dog also loved the garden and the lovely other guests. Loved the roll top bath with Sweet Rose giving everything we needed. Thatched Tavern for diner. Totnes for a cute village, stroll and cake. Becky Falls. And so many coves with crystal clear waters. Thank you.

We had a wonderful time at Sweet Rose. Very dog friendly and with a wonderful outside area and garden. Perfect spot for our stay, being able to explore the local area with Watcombe Bay, Babbacombe, Dartmoor, Hope Cove, and Goodrington. Thank you and hope to see you soon.

Sweet Rose had everything we wanted, needed and more with a lovely, fully enclosed garden that was great for our 5 month old pup. A lovely, relaxing week. Not sure how it can be improved. We visited Babbacombe Downs, Steam Railway and River Cruise, Dartmouth, Totnes and Goodrington Beach to walk the dog. Eating out at The Buccaneer, Angels, The Drum Inn – thanks for the recommendations!

We came for a relaxing week and that’s what we got; perfect little cottage with everything we needed. Loved the cottage, the garden, the village – all dog friendly. Everywhere just stunning and so much within a short drive – Torquay, Paignton, Brixham. The Model Village in Babbacombe is FAB as is the steam train from Paignton – all dog friendly as well. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage, it was a privilege, we had an amazing week.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience in a unique cottage. We came for a quiet ‘away from it all’ weeks break – it was great! Wonderful location to explore. We particularly enjoyed the Model Village and Bygones not far up the road and also Brixham, Totnes and quaint Cockington. Look forward to returning in the future. Thank you!

Excellent in every respect. We took over Sweet Rose and Threshing Barn for an extended family Christmas holiday after all the Covid stuff. Delightful cottages so tastefully restored combining an old-world charm with modern fittings in every room. Look out for the information folders provided that gave us extensive information on all the location has to offer! So many local attractions and local beaches to explore for older and younger generations. The cottages really are the jewel in the crown – such a wonderful place to spend a relaxing break at any time of the year

Looked fabulous for a cosy retreat for 2 to celebrate a 60th and was exactly what we wanted. Warm welcome, Excellent facilities. Fabulous bedroom and bath! Lovely soak with a glass of wine. So glad we found this place. We changed plans for 60th several times because of Covid and then last-minute Omicron. Plenty of places to walk in the area. Make us of the owners information packs – we did. The Thatched Tavern is open – well worth the walk. Had the best time!!! Such a fabulous and cosy place! Thank you

Fantastic week at Sweet Rose and the surrounding area to celebrate my retirement! Lovely weather even for November. Beautiful beaches and still water! Lovely dog walks along the front at Babbacombe. Cream tea in Angels. Steam Railway and Ferry to Dartmouth. Thank you so much for a wonderful, relaxing week and the ‘welcome pack’ after a long drive. It was brilliant having the garden for our greyhound who loved a run.

Lots of great information in the brown folders; especially if you bring a dog. The Buccaneer, Mirch Masala. Oddicombe beach. Anstey’s Cove, to name a few places. Sweet Rose had everything for a luxurious break in a beautiful part of Devon. We will definitely return.

The location is great for visiting nearby attractions, with a bus stop only a 5 min walk away. If you want to park your car up during your stay, parking is available on site and the 31 bus runs regularly to Torquay harbour. There you can catch onward connections. The cottage is comfortable with a lovely garden area. Martin and Kim are great hosts, and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. A lovely welcome pack is provided and the cottage contains everything you will need for your stay.

Sweet Rose Cottage was a little 'chocolate box' piece of heaven. Everything you could possibly need was in the cottage, Martin and Kim have thought of everything. To welcome us, there was tea, coffee and milk and some gorgeous choc chip shortcake biscuits, not to mention Prosecco! There was washing up liquid, cloth, sponge and T. Towel in the kitchen and sumptuous white towels and hotel quality bedding (and a VERY comfortable bed) in the beautiful bedroom upstairs, topped off by a deep free standing bath - all made for a perfect and very romantic setting. We were lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy the cottage garden as well. It is a perfect location either for walking or if you want to travel a little further afield and don't want to use the car, the bus stop is literally a stone's throw from your front door and we found the buses were very reliable. Martin and Kim (and previous guests) have provided a wealth of information contained within 3 folders. So you'll never be stuck for ideas on places to visit (rain or shine) or recommended eateries, whether they be eat in, takeaway or delivery. We had fish and chips from Paul, just down the road - very tasty!! We managed to get a last minute booking at Angels in Babbacombe for afternoon tea, which was lovely! We would recommend that you pre-book if there are particular restaurants you want to eat at, as many are fully booked due to restricted numbers etc because of Covid, although this may change after 19 July. There are also details of numerous walks straight from the cottage and further afield, all put together by Martin and Kim. We asked Martin if we could park our car whilst we did some exploring on our day of arrival and until we could check in, but Martin went one step further and as circumstances allowed, he was able to let us into the cottage earlier, which was fantastic as we could unpack, freshen up and make a day of it!

Fantastic time visiting family and friends in Devon. Accommodation and amenities close at hand. Plenty of activities taking place in the area. A home from home, wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Fabulous time had by all (including our teenage son). 

 

Was perfect 

 

Perfect vacation home, has all the amenities you need in a beautiful heritage home. 

Great location and wonderful beaches close by 

 

 

We had the "Honeysuckle" 2 bed cottage. We found it to be an excellent base for exploring the area. The 2 bedrooms are almost the same size. The beds are comfortable and the shower is excellent. Everything we needed was there, the visitors' file was particularly helpful in planning our days. There's a Co-op and Tesco just 100m away, and and excellent bakery and chip shop and pub. The shared garden was a decent outdoor space to eat. Apart from one minor blip, the cottages are outstandingly managed, with prompt and thorough communication. I was happy with the price paid. 

 

One of the most immaculate and well equipped properties we have stayed in with Air B and B . 

Beautifully and functionally presented , and editions like coffee pod expresso machine were a welcome addition . Best nights sleep in the enormous and comfortable beds . 

Though the cottage door opens into the pathway at the side of the quite rd it was absolutely silent !And had absolutely no problem parking out side the property . 

Gorgeous village full of amenities and fantastic places to eat and drink and one of the best local coffee shops just yards away open at 9am ! 

Highly recommend this well positioned and comfortable home . 

 

Really enjoyed our stay at Honeysuckle Cottage. 

Fantastic hosts, great communication and the welcome treats were very much appreciated. The cottage is in a lovely, peaceful location and only a short walk to local shops and Post Office. 

Would definitely recommend! 

 

 

Hosts were very friendly, and the little extras like milk, tea, coffee, a welcome bottle of wine and a couple of chocolates by the bed side were great. 

Dog friendly which is what we were looking for, would definitely stay here again. 

 

 

A gorgeous cottage to stay in to explore Devon. Homely, comfortable, well-equipped and quiet. Really friendly host. Highly recommended! 

 

Highly recommend Honeysuckle. Beds were comfortable and nice and big. 

Well stocked cupboards with saucepans etc, so we were able to cook. 

Great location. 

Even if you just want to kick back and relax, it’s just like being home from home. 

 

 

Amazing facilities! Stayed in winter and the property was always warm which was ideal. Really cozy both downstairs and upstairs. I would 100% recommend staying here and hope to stay here again on my next visit. Quirky idea to have a bath tub in the bedroom but i'm definitely not complaining. What a cute property! 

 

 

We had a lovely little stay over new year with our 2 young children and 2 dogs. The house was really cosy and relaxing, just what we wanted. 

We loved the little welcome gifts provided as well. 

We found the folder with local information really useful. There were lots of walks clearly described which unfortunately we didn’t get to do due to the weather during our stay. All local beaches listed, local pubs, restaurants and takeaways and other local attractions. Plenty to do to suit everyone. 

Highly recommended 

 

We came for a quick holiday as we had a family Christening in Teignmouth. We found beautiful beaches and plenty of dog friendly restaurants. We loved the early morning walks on the beaches and the Torquay Christmas lights. Honeysuckle is beautiful with it’s beams and being originally a barn. Thank you for the lovely huge bed, the information pack and treats on arrival. 

 

Thank you!! Although local I loved staying in your cottage. It is perfect! The garden is a bonus but due to the weather didn’t get to enjoy it. Will certainly be recommending your amazing cottages. 

A beautiful place in between house moves and needed a stop gap. Website really appealed to me and it’s a great location. So warm and cosy with a wonderful king-size bed and bedding, loved settling into bed. The kitchen is perfectly equipped. Loved that it was so dog friendly and dog accommodation. 

I am local but certainly give Paul Plaice chips ago- best chips ever. Great restaurants in town. The walked from Oddicombe to Babbacombe beach café at the top by the railway is good. 

 

 

 

 

Our second stay. Enjoyed as much as the first. Fantastic as ever with everything a family could need. Comfy beds = great sleeps. Paul’s Plaice up the road delicious. Pastries for breakfast from ‘Crusty Loaf’ bakery, amazing. The garden in the morning – heavenly. Location very good for everything – beaches, shops, eateries, attractions, towns to visit etc. Rock Solid Coasteering was amazing!! Again, Martin and Kim, you have enabled us to have a special and memorable family holiday! We shall be back once again!

Honeysuckle is a lovely hideaway, not far from the Hussle and bussle which was great for our purposeful short escape break! Reading the excellent information pack from Martin, out we went to explore the quaint villages nearby. A good mixture of traditional, coastal, quaint, fun, and scenic. And all easy with dog and grandson. Thank you for providing a lovely cottage.

Staying last year in Threshing Barn we decided to come back and stay in Honeysuckle. It was perfect for the 3 of us and our dog. Nicely tucked away but near all, we loved venturing out with camera in hand. Oddicombe beach is great for dogs. All we can say is ‘just thank you’.

Just what the doctor ordered! We have recently returned from a relaxing peaceful stay at Pilgrim’s rest residing in Honeysuckle cottage. Martin was a brilliant host, very supportive to our family before we travelled, accommodating our extra requests to bring an extra guest and our dog Elsie. Any minor issue such as WiFi problems or requests for an iron were dealt with immediately..The set up of the three cottages and communal areas worked perfectly for us, we were blessed with lovely residents in the other properties so it was lovely to share a run down of our respective day’s adventures over a brew or a gin and tonic. The gardens are a real sun trap and a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the evening sunshine. The cottage itself is welcoming and comfy, and we were kindly gifted a welcome pack on arrival. Gorgeous rooms with exposed beams and very comfy beds. It is ideally placed for sightseeing. Local shops and takeaways are within walking distance. Can’t recommend the spot highly enough. Martin is a brilliant host with bags of enthusiasm and lots of local knowledge. Would love to return one day.
