Agatha Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Agatha Cottage. It is a beautifully appointed property, with every comfort thought of. Sam the owner was thoughtful and helpful, leaving plenty of information about where to visit, walk and eat in the area. There is so much to see and do here with Greenway, Agatha Christie 's home just down the road by the river Dart, coastal walks and the nearby towns of Brixham, Kingwear and Dartmouth all within easy reach. We would certainly return. ...

It is a rare thing to find that a cottage is more warm and welcoming than expected. From the first communication with Sam though to our departure we could not have been happier. When we arrived the cottage was warm and illuminated. Once inside we found a bottle of prosecco chilling in the fridge, a tea tray and chocolate biscuits set out ready to enjoy and in the living area a bowl of roses - making us feel right at home. The cottage has been beautiful re-imagined providing comfort and warmth along with every amenity you could wish for. I particularly enjoyed the Nespresso Coffee maker and the kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to prepare an interesting meal. Upstairs the bedrooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. Both are served by a large and well-appointed bathroom. Outside, there are three sitting areas: two small patios on two different levels in the back and a charming seat out front where you can sit and watch the horse and riders pass by. Agatha Cottage is in a perfect location for exploring whether on foot or by car or bike. The village has a general store/post office and a butcher's shop while the Spar, library, chemist and fish and chip shop are a short walk away. Within in the village the Manor Inn provides a great warm welcomed is a great place to meet people. What a find! I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough. Thank you Sam for making this home available and for looking after us so well....

Agatha Cottage underwent a complete refurbishment in 2018 and the result is a beautiful, elegant and very relaxing environment to enjoy a holiday in. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was both hot and powerful. A lot of thought has gone into both decoration and fittings. It is in a perfect location for visiting many of the attractions in the area including Dartmouth, Greenway House and Coleton Fishacre. We found it a little odd (and outside of any previous experience in a holiday cottage) that the heating was controlled remotely by the owner. The hours of heating and temperature were predetermined and not possible to change from the cottage. However, Sam, the owner, was very accommodating when we spoke to her and she set the timer to our requirements. We also had a very generous supply of logs for the log burner which we took full advantage of! A wonderful holiday experience and easy to recommend. ...

The cottage is beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable; all the furnishings are very high quality and the equipment provided plentiful and extensive. The gardens are compact but nicely done out with good seating areas for different times of day. Parking on the road was easy and it is quiet despite being opposite a primary school even at drop off/pick up times. There was lots of useful information/maps about the nearby attractions and the local pub and shop were close by and friendly. The cottage is brilliantly located for visiting nearby beaches, walking to the ferry and enough to keep any Agatha Christie fan happy. If anything we should have booked for 10 days rather than 7 as there was so much to see but it will be nice to visit again sometime in the future. ...
