Blackberry Cottage - Newly renovated cosy cottage

The host was attentive, the property well attired, clean, comfortable.

The location was really good and the references were great.

The main bedroom matress may need to be upgraded, but we still enjoyed our stay.

We absolutely loved the cottage. It was bigger than expected and the views were so beautiful. The location was peaceful and ideal for visiting Salcombe with lots of fabulous beaches all within a 10 minute drive. We were incredibly lucky as we had fabulous weather during our stay so were able to enjoy the garden which was ideal for our dog too.

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like about the cottage.

This cottage has been renovated to a very high spec and the open plan kitchen dining area had everything you need. But the icing on the cake were the views of the rolling hills. The beds were particularly comfy and they even had super soft fluffy towels. Everything was thought of, we didn't want for anything. Great location, less than a minutes walk to the village pub and Asda/petrol station.

We stayed at Blackberry Cottage over the Christmas week with our 2 dogs. Having just moved into our new home, cooking a Christmas dinner in our renovation project wasn’t very appealing so we booked to spend Christmas in a cottage by the coast, as we often do. Blackberry Cottage did not disappoint. It has been beautifully renovated and is up there with one of the loveliest places that we have stayed in. The cottage itself is immaculate and cozy and has everything you could want for a very comfortable stay. The renovation has been very well thought out, creating a lovely sociable space centralised around the open plan kitchen/dining space that opens out onto the secure garden. As we had our 2 dogs with us, a secure garden was essential. The garden was a beautiful space, secure and with stunning countryside views. I can imagine it being a really lovely space to sit out in in the warmer weather. Dog bowls and towels were also provided which was a welcome touch. Andrea met us at the cottage and was very helpful and reassured us that she was on hand should we need her. We didn’t……. the cottage had everything that we needed for our stay and everything worked just as it should do. Marlborough is a quiet, pretty village within walking distance to Salcombe and Hope Cove. The area is quite beautiful with access to lots of beaches and lovely countryside walks. There are 2 pubs in the village but we only went to one of them during our stay. Parking wasn’t an issue for us. We were able to park directly outside the cottage every day except one, but were able to park just up the road, literally a couple of minutes’ walk from the property. Our Christmas break at Blackberry Cottage was like home from home with a luxurious feel, whilst also feeling like we were on holiday, resulting in a perfect Christmas week. We look forward to returning.

Everything about the property was excellent. The only observation we had was that we felt that the front door would benefit from having a curtain to pull across the glass at night.

A cosy and very modern cottage, well equipped with a good size garden. We stayed as a family (2 adults, 1 toddler and a dog). The cottage was a perfect stay and really well located to explore the local area from either on foot or by car. Andrea couldn’t have been clearer or quicker with her communication and provided a really helpful overview of places to go and things to see when we arrived. We will definitely be back!

Clean - Tidy - Position

Parking was not generally available to us outside the property and it was not always pleasant to have a van blocking the lounge window as on street parking is in first come first served

Beautiful cottage with excellent features and very comfy beds! The location is great, a sleepy little village but with everything you would need and perfect for exploring Devon from.
