Esmé's Cottage, Ivybridge, Devon

"We had a really great time, due to the location of the cottage, the home comforts and information provided within your holiday home. Your website gave us the impression it was just what we were looking for, but in actual fact it far exceeded our expectations. We have stayed in numerous privately owned holiday homes, both here and abroad, and so far yours is by far the best.

We loved the feature windows upstairs, the wooden beams and the feeling that the property had been renovated with care and imagination. We will happily recommend Esmé's to our friends/family and hope that other people we know will have the chance to enjoy staying in your property. We ourselves hope to return again some time in the future."

DP, Heathfield, E. Sussex

"The location was ideal. Not town centre (so quiet enough), but easy walking distance to amenities. We loved the fact Ivybridge is close to Dartmoor, Plymouth, Cornwall and wonderful beaches. From the outside, the cottage was certainly the nicest on the row, with ample parking either outside or up the hill by the church. The cottage was clean and tidy with lots of space, and pleasantly furnished. All bedrooms were nice sizes, and the lounge and kitchen areas were also spacious.

AS, Bedford, Beds

"A beautifully clean bright space in a lovely quiet location. The cottage was very well equipped and there were things there that I hadn't expected, like barbeque tools and outdoor dishes. I also didn't expect towels for the beach, which is great."

MB, Edinburgh, Lothian

"Wow! Straight away we thought a good choice had been made. The cottage has a real home from home feel, and great thought has been put into the items available for peoples' use whilst staying there. Our stay was very enjoyable, and we will definitely recommend the cottage to family and friends"

MP, Witney, Oxon

"When we opened the door, we were pleasantly surprised. The cottage was exceptionally clean and well-presented throughout. I have to say that the cottage has the most extensive facilities I have experienced in any rented holiday cottage. Exceptional value for money!"

MS, Banbury, Oxon

"Wow! It looked so welcoming and tidy (a real home as opposed to a standard holiday let) - I thought the kitchen was fantastic in size and had absolutely everything we needed. The cottage is even better than it looks on the website (and it looks good on there!) - it just has a lovely loved feel about it, which is untypical of holiday cottages and definitely makes yours stand out from the crowd"

DH, Cookham, Berks

"A smart, clean and attractively furnished property in a central, but quiet, location. Excellent facilities, very clean and extremely well presented. On the middle Saturday, we received ample fresh towels and the beds were cleaned and beautifully made - even to the point of arranging my children's teddy bears beautifully on their beds, which delighted them! We would highly recommend Esmé's Cottage."

JS, Ivybridge, Devon

"We had a lovely holiday as we were very comfortable in your cottage. It looks well-kept from the outside, and there were no problems parking to unload. Inside, it was tastefully decorated, with a cosy feeling. The bottle of wine was a lovely touch, too. We have stayed in many cottages over the years, and I would say yours is the best equipped. Definitely value for money. "
