We stayed at Wagtail for 9 nights. Cousins rented Swift across the way. We had a large family gatherIng over the Christmas holidays. It was the first time seeing grandparents since the pandemic, and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer cottage. We had all the amenities we needed for big family dinners and cozy evening drinks. Such a lovely setting. Kids enjoyed the pool and games room, as well. EV charging port was a huge bonus.

The property was precisely as advertised it was a great location with good facilities and finished to a high specification. We would happily return here again at some time in the future.

Great place for a family group to stay. The swimming pool and games room were well used on the rainy mornings we encountered, whole family making full use of them. All of the rooms were very spacious and can only imagine the living room log burner on a winter day!
Highly recommended a visit to the local pubs!!

Lovely break
We had a lovely stay in Wagtail. The property itself is amazing. So much space and really well cared for, presented and clean. The layout of the house was interesting but also really great with children and meant we could use the house and the facilities whilst they were sleeping without interrupting them.
The only downside for us was the lack of a place nearby for our dogs to have a run and a play. We were able to walk them around on leads and up and down the lane, which was very quiet though. The outside area of the cottage is lovely but not self-contained or fully fenced off.
Other than that, it was probably the best self-catering accommodation we have stayed in.

Wagtail Cottage

Spacious, well equipped, sociable living. Accommodated 4 generations with room for all. Pool and games room play area were appreciated on rainy days and the outdoor play area let little ones run off steam. Location was remote, but provided a central base for all of the main attractions in the area. Clean and well kept the house was perfect. Shops locally were a 10 min drive, with more to find in Newton Abbot. A great place for a family holiday.

Property was great for a group of ten, age ranges from 5-66. Children especially enjoyed the swimming pool and had great fun there. Within 20 minutes or so of several beaches. The setting of the cottages is excellent and in excellently kept grounds. Wagtail cottage is very well equipped and has everything you need.

Accepting the very narrow drive to Wagtail Cottage was well worth the space and pool with the cottage. The cottage is well equipped with all laundry and cleaning supplies including cleansing Gel with Covid in mind. It is a good place to stay as it is easy to isolate in these difficult times. Although clean (bathrooms etc) there were quite a few cobwebs but I am very fussy.

Our overall view of the property was it’s a bit tired and neglected
Very spacious property and equipped very well, although some of the electrical items need attention ( toaster,dishwasher,tumble dryer,toilet seat in the bathroom, the vacuum cleaner was full to the brim, and the washing machine had to be cleaned before use,these things need checking before clients go in) the setting is great a little bit difficult to find but when you do it’s lovely . The pool and games room was very good for the grand children and adults as well.
We had a lovely time.

Amazing!
Lovely cottage, with an amazing kitchen. We stayed for a few nights and already planning on coming back here again.
Greeted with carrot and chocolate cake which we couldnt stop eating!
Everything was perfect from the start of the holiday to the end.

A true gem
We spent a lovely Christmas here with family and friends. The facilities were top notch, and the children loved the games room and all enjoyed the swimming pool.
The cottage was absolutely beautiful and the Christmas decorations were a lovely touch (as were the truffles and wine - thank you ).
We would wholeheartedly recommend Wagtail Cottage and hope to return again someday.

Lovely private site in the country
We took four grandchildren and a set of parents and we had a lovely stay. We selected Wagtail because of its size and facilities and we were not disappointed. The weather was mixed but the pool and games room were brilliant and when we were on site the children could come and go without a problem due to its private enclosed location. The cottage was very large and despite the numbers we never felt short of space. The location is beautiful and only about 20 mins from Torquay and Paignton. You will need a car to get to the nearest shops, pubs and restaurants but that was a minor issue given the setting. I would recommend this site to anyone, particularly if you have children but want somewhere private.

Beautiful location and great facilities
We took four grandchildren and a set of parents to Wagtail cottage for a week. We selected this cottage because of the facilities, particularly on site swimming, games rooms, play areas and private setting. We were not disappointed. We had a few days with mixed weather and the children were easily entertained and the pool was superb. The property is massive so we never felt short of space and the facilities within it were perfect. 20 mins from Torquay or Paignton yet located in a private development that allowed the children to wander around in complete safety. The size of the site was also pleasing, quite mall and select but with a nice mix of people and other children that just allowed time to pass nicely. I recommend this site without reservation. You will need a car though to get to shops

Fabulous
Stayed here with our 2 sons, daughter in law and 2 small grandsons.The accomodation was great with everything we could have possibly needed. The children loved the swimming pool, the wi and all the toys in the cottage.

The owner was particularly helpful especially when our car wouldn't start on the day of our departure.
