The Hatton family, Cheshire: “ Of the many cottages we have enjoyed, Brook Cottage is right at the top! It is wonderfully well appointed, with no loss at all to the period charm. We could only admire the splendidly thorough attention to detail in every aspect of the high quality provision. Brook Cottage was perfect for our family reunion week. Many thanks.”

Testimonials from before 2011

Paul and Louise, Sussex: “ Thanks again for a welcome break at your cosy cottage. This makes our 9th visit!!”

Brian and Pat, Surrey:: “ Apologies for the delay in thanking you for the wonderful relaxing and comfortable week we were able to spend at your splendid cottage. It really was great, and we have already sung its praises to a number of friends.”

Caro Russell, Gloucestershire: “ You've got a gem of a place - so full of character and in a great location. We enjoyed several walks in the Otter Valley and along the coastal pathway. We particularly liked Otterton Mill. I couldn't resist the brass/resin hare sculptures so now have one happily sitting on my cottage windowsill. Also made the longish journey to Eden Project which is an amazing and inspiring enterprise. The wifi access was a real bonus given the number of laptops that turned up (3 grown up kids)!”

Amanda Earp, Derbyshire: “ After looking back and confirming our most favourite holiday we would like to say your cottage has to be the best ever for our family. We had an amazing week's holiday with mum and dad, the children thought it absolutely amazing to have their own cottage area. The whole family loved our week's holiday and would like to thank you again. We suddenly lost my father aged 62 with lung cancer, but looking back his favourite holiday was at Brook Cottage which is high praise as we always had 3 cottages a year. We loved it so much so please accept our utmost thankyous for a superb holiday cottage.”

Deirdre Baker, Stroud: “ We had a lovely week. We loved your cottage ... We ate in more this year than we usually do. As you say there is every excuse for eating in with a kitchen equipped like that. I liked the little added touches, like a box of tissues in the kitchen, and soap dispensers in all the basins. Tea bags, coffee and milk on arrival. Thank you.”

“The cottage lived up to all our expectations and more. The cottage was idyllic, very clean and made a great base for us to discover devon and cornwall, the whole family enjoyed their stay very much and hopefully look forward to returning sometime in the near future.”

“An excellent cottage where instantly you relax into a holiday mood.”

“Lovely cottage, perfect for our golfing holiday.”

“The week was all that we hoped for - lovely cottage, quiet and comfortable in the pretty, quiet village. Plenty of lovely picturesque walks, good food and drink and dog-friendly pubs.”

“The cottage is fantastic with very roomy accommodation, and extremely well equipped - you feel so comfortable from the moment you walk in the door. We had such a relaxing week even though the weather was typical for Devon! Our daughter (nearly 3) enjoyed being there so much that we did have some tears on Saturday evening when we arrived home and plaintive cries of ‘I want to go back to the cottage’! Anyway, we just wanted to let you know that we found the whole experience great and we will definitely be back in touch to book another stay at Brook Cottage.”

“This is by far the best cottage we have stayed in, and such a gorgeous village. It's been a really relaxing stay.”

“Most of time was spent visiting the coast. Fossil hunting at Charmouth was a big favourite.”

“ Another great visit to Brook Cottage. Went to Crealy Adventure Park, had a brilliant day, adults and children alike!!! Looking forward to our next visit.”

“Superbly equipped - all those touches that make a house a home.”

“Kids could spend hours throwing pepples on Salterton beach. PS: the best shower on the UK. From the Keelagher family from Port Melbourne, Australia.”

“That's it. We've had all the locks changed, we've barricaded the doors, and we're going to stay here forever!”

“What can I say, we have stopped in quite a few cottages over the years but your cottage ticked every box. The fantastic room for the children, not the mention their bedroom, they were overwhelmed with their own part of the house.”

“With the week being really hot, just to get back to the cool cottage later in the day was really fantastic. We have not stayed anywhere that was so peaceful and special as your lovely cottage. The children are still chatting about it now.”

“Superb! Many thanks for all the extra touches. The children loved their own cottage and games room. 10/10.”

“Very comfortable stay, thanks. Our own sanctuary from the world, lovely. I hope to be back again, and again, and again!! (Fifth visit already, sorry sixth visit.)”

“We've spent a superb long weekend in your beautiful and immaculately maintained cottage. It swallowed up our family in comfort, but still remained cosy and comfortable. Many thanks.”

“We had a really super holiday, and your cottage was just perfect for a family gathering, and all felt very much at home.”

“Excellent. Five star accommodation with every eventuality catered for. We have found the cottage of our dreams.”
