Had a lovely week at manuka cottage. Hostess was very pleasant and helpful. Lovely place to stay and very convenient for towns and beaches

The house, the location and host were all superb and ideal for our family and furbies. We had a great time enjoying the house, location and outdoor activities in the area. We will definitely head back someday.

Great location, lovely host who had all things covered and even called us from her holiday abroad to make sure we were all ok. House lovely and clean, really close to local amenties and the river dart. 10.mins by car from Paignton, Brixham and Torquay. We also took the dogs with us and they were really happy there, great garden for the kids, hot tub is lovely and would thoroughly recommend this property as extremely gpod value for money. Would absolutely use it again. Thanks Deb.

Lovely property - ticked all the boxes!

We had an amazing time staying at Manuka cottage, Deb was an amazing host, answered any questions we had and was incredibly helpful. The house was beautiful and clean, so was the garden and hot tub which she came and cleaned mid week. There is so much to do locally, everything was within 10-20 mins drive for where we wanted to go with little ones. The pubs in the local village are 10’mins walk, the church house inn being a particular favourite!! The only thing I would say constructively would be to have a few more mirrors, my husband in particular takes ages in the shower! So I found I didn’t have a mirror whilst I waited! But other than that, everything was perfect. Thanks so much!! Xx

We have enjoyed the property a lot! Very clean, very well equipped (kitchen tools, coffee machine, board games etc.), and a lot of space and things to do for the family and our little puppy. Three bathrooms (one of them en suite), three separate bedrooms, a living room with TV, a great kitchen area with a huge dinner table and - last but not least - a very clean and cosy Hot Tub in the garden (38 degree celcius at all times). There is also an outside table on the patio and a relax area equipped with lounge furniture. A parking lot is placed next to the house. It’s just a few minutes drive to a big supermarket, a few surrounding cities and to beautiful beaches. Stoke Gabriel has a cute little village centre with nicely decorated traditional pubs and restaurants. We would also like to mention Deborah, the owner, who was around supporting us and making sure we have a great time - Many thanks again for your hospitality! A special recommendation for fathers & sons (no way to make my daughters joining me): If you would like to enjoy a remarkable day out, it is a worth visiting the Tank Museum in Bovington (two hours drive) with a huge selection of WW1 and WW2 tanks. A great exhibition and lots of opportunities to learn about history and engineering. We hope to be back at some stage, Deborah!

We had a fantastic holiday at Manuka cottage. It was spotlessly clean and very spacious for our family of 2 adults and 2 young children. The outside space and the hot tub was a real bonus for us and we were lucky to have great weather during our 10 night stay. The kitchen is well equipped and we were able to cook easily. The location is also perfect. Stoke Gabriel is a really friendly village with 2 pubs a shop and close to the river for crabbing which my children enjoyed, all walking distance from the cottage. Also a short drive away is a choice of nice beaches, and seaside towns to explore. I would recommend the steam train from Paignton to Dartmouth, and we had a great day at Paignton zoo as well. All in all we had a fantastic holiday and would definitely return to Manuka cottage again.

The property was just how it was described and looked in the photos. Modern, bright and very well equipped. The hot tub was fantastic and huge. The conservatory was lovely too. The location was great. 10 mins walk to the village pubs and river. Easy drive to Paignton and surrounding areas. Our host Deb was very welcoming and helpful. We were well looked after and had a wonderful stay. I would love to return. 😀

We all enjoyed our stay, the hot tub was very relaxing, it was local to places to visit. I would definitely recommend a stay. Deb (the host) was very nice and helpful. The roads are very narrow and the locals now the roads and drive very fast.

We had the best holiday at Deb’s cottage! Everything was just as advertised. The hot tub was a big hit. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. The only thing we didn’t use was the TV as we were too busy having fun. The location was a perfect base to explore from with lots to do within easy distance. Deb was the perfect host and it was lovely to meet her just before we left for home. We can’t wait to go back!

Debs’ place was absolutely lush, with everything you need under one roof. The kitchen/diner were super clean and spacious, the bedrooms were very comfy and had the best sleep for a long time. We spent most of our time in the garden as we had beautiful weather, enjoying the seating area and the incredible hot tub and bar, which was an added bonus. We would recommend this to anyone who wants to explore Stoke Gabriel and the surrounding areas, and would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you for such a wonderful stay :)

We have just returned from a great break at mannuka cottage. Deb was very helpful and the place was absolutely spotless !! The prosecco cream tea and other goodies were greatly appreciated and we loved the hot tub !! . The only downside for us was the bed as we are both tall , hubby 6 ft 5 but should have read the property description. All in all 5 star stay.

Lovely homely cottage with everything needed. Responsive and friendly host. Handy location to visit nearby places such as Paignton, Goodrington beach and Paignton zoo. The grandchildren loved it, nice enclosed garden that is astroturfed and a hot tub for the grown ups in the evenings. I would definitely book this again!

We had a lovely time at Manuka Cottage. Spotlessly clean, nicely furnished, very well equipped and the icing on the cake was the jacuzzi, even in the rain. Also the goodies left were much appreciated. Excellent contact with our host Deb who as promised had lights and heating on for our late arrival and checked on us throughout our stay, ourselves and our dog, Elsie felt very welcomed. We visited both village pubs, The Church Inn and the Castle, the River Shack and also Emma’s where we had a gorgeous meal on our last night. Stoke Gabriel is a lovely village, plenty of walks and friendly locals and we will be back.

Manuka cottage is a lovely spacious property centrally situated. Deb the owner provides lots of treats and the essentials for a quick cuppa before going off exploring. The hot tub was FAB, and heated ready for us on arrival. Lovely quiet spot, no traffic noise and lovely walks around the estate. Will definately be back !!!

A lovely cottage in a lovely little village. Great communication with the host who was very helpful. Facilities were fab and a lovely tray of goodies on arrival made it even sweeter!

We had a great family break here, had a lovely cream tea and other goodies left for us on arrival. We really had a great time, house clean and everything you would need, very comfy beds and sofa also very comfy! Hot tub was fabulous 👌. Thank you Deb, we would stay again.

Beautiful house, we really enjoyed the hot tub. Great location, close to visit lots of lovely places. We had an amazing break

Fantastic weekend stay in lovely well cottage in a great location to explore the surrounding area. We had a few minor issues that Deb sorted quickly - including us locking ourselves out! Thanks for a great stay and hope to be back!

Ideal location beautiful property

Ideal for our family plenty of room nice little touches

Excellent stay, easy to find. Lovely host, incredible helpful when required. Would highly recommend

A stunning spacious and modern cottage, spotlessly clean and really nicely decorated, in a quiet location. We didn't get to see much of Stoke Gabriel village but it seems a really nice place. Far enough to be quiet and away from the hussle and bussle yet just over 5 minutes drive to Paignton. Within 20 minutes are Brixham or Torquay. The cottage had everything we needed for a brilliant stay. The garden is really nice with lots of outdoor seating. The hot tub is what we booked it for and we got plenty of use of it. There's a 'bar' by the hot tub which has plastic glasses and cocktail making kit (using your own drinks!). There's a big dining table in the conservatory where we spent a lot of time too, with games that are provided. The owners Deb and her husband Adam are really good hosts, with Deb phoning to make sure everything was OK and if we had any questions. Also told us about local events going on. We can't recommended this place highly enough.

Property and host were amazing , was meant by host who explained everything we needed to know , also gave us afternoon tea and processco which went down very well. Great location and a lovely village with two lovely pubs .House was very spotless and had everything we needed . 5*** accomadation and would defo be coming back .
