A fantastic base for our holiday on the south coast. A cosy cottage with great facilities for the children and in a lovely quiet rural setting but also woth half an hour of everywhere we wanted to visit. Our host Tony
The hosts had thought of everything to make us comfortable. The grandchildren enjoyed viewing cows next door and eating the chickens eggs. East Devon had loads to offer and we had a great time.
We had a three night stay in Daisy Cottage and found everything to be perfect for our needs. It's very warm and cosy inside and the surrounding countryside is beautiful. Perfect for local walks or exploring the Jurassic coast. Tony was very friendly and communication prior and during our stay was excellent. Highly recommend.
We had a great time at Daisy Cottage. There has clearly been a lot of thought put in to the facilities, e.g. there was washing up liquid, dishwasher and washing tablets, tea, coffee and milk left for our use. The play area was a hit with the three year old in our group. The location is great with a Tesco's a 10 minute drive away in Honiton and the coast not that far away either. Thank you for ensuring we had such a lovely stay.
We enjoyed our first voyage to England very much! Daisy cottage was perfectly equiped, cosy inside and very nice to sit outside in front of the cottage. The owner Tony was very friendly and helpful, we felt really welcome. Daisy cottage is an ideal place to visit Devon around, the coast is quite near, the beautiful hills of Devon and also the Dartmoor and Exeter.
Lovely cosy cottage. Enjoyed our long weekend very much. Cottage has everything you need and there was a lovely welcome pack of biscuits and fudge on arrival plus milk, tea bags and coffee. Quiet area and as expected, narrow lanes in and out so expect lots of reversing to let vehicles passed. Played 2 golf courses during our visit - Honiton & Axe Cliff, also visited The Donkey Sanctuary which is an amazing place and well worth a visit. If you’re not in a hurry to get anywhere, Daisy Cottage is an ideal place to stay.
Daisy Cottage was an absolute winner. In a perfect location with nothing but fields around. Inside was beautiful, with a log fire, for cooler evenings and underfloor heating in the bathroom which was an extra special touch. I would recommend Daisy cottage to anyone. You do need to be a driver. Or, at least, have one driver in your party.

Daisy cottage
There was no connection for our mobile phone, only by wifi. We could not phone anyone. The dinertable was very small. It is an two onder one roof cottage and noisy. The garden and washingmachine are for both cottages. Not a lot of privacy. The beds are great and the bathroom also. The kitchen is fine and well equipted. The space in the livingroom is small. The road to the cottage is a small path for only one car. The area is great and the contryside beautifull.
the property is set in a rural setting but you are made welcome by Tony and he is usually around to help if needed. The property is very clean and comfy with space to relax and out door space for kids
