Welcombe Cottage Reviews

George Collins
We had a cracking week at Welcombe Cottage! The place is really well-equipped, with plenty of bedrooms and all the modern comforts you could want. The kids loved the games room and the big garden, while we enjoyed the hot tub after days out exploring the Devon coast. The kitchen was perfect for family meals too. Honestly, it's a great spot for a family holidayand we'll definitely be back!
Emma T.
We loved it! The pool, games roomand sauna kept everyone entertained, even when it rained. Perfect for big groupsand the facilities are spot on. Definitely coming back!
Alex
We had a lovely week away! The house was spot on when we arrived, fully equipped with everything we needed. The pool and hot tub were both warm and spotlessand the pool cover was super easy to manage thanks to the videos. The big grass area was perfect for the seven kids to run around all day. The only thing was the drive-about half an hour-to the nearest supermarketand the Co-op wasn't very big or well-stocked. Still, overall, a great stay!
Emma Carter
We had a lovely stay! The house was spacious and perfect for our group, with a nice garden to relax in. The location was ideal for walking to the beach and exploring the coast paths. We also enjoyed a fantastic Sunday lunch at The Old Smithy. Thanks for having us!
Jessie
We recently stayed at this lovely cottage with family to mark 6 big birthdays and a wedding anniversary. There was plenty of room for 12 adults and 5 kids, aged from 2.5 to 6. The pool, hot tuband games room were a hit with everyone. The kitchen was well-stocked, making it easy for us to sit down together for meals. The extra touches really made it feel like home. We'd definitely love to come back sometime!
Mark
The place was stunning, really well looked afterand we had such a good time. Loved every bit, even the Holly!
Harper
We absolutely loved the cottage for our weekend escape. The weather was on our side, so we enjoyed the pool loads! Plus, there were lovely walks right from the doorstep. Thanks a bunch for a great stay!
Emma
We had a fantastic week with a mixed age group of 17, from toddlers to seniors. The outdoor space was perfect for the kids, especially the big grassy patch. The swimming pool, hot tuband games room kept everyone entertained. The interiors - lounges, dining area, kitchenand bedrooms - were all top-notch. Such a lovely place, hoping to return soon!
