Leave ReviewLovely cottage. Great location
By Viv Parsons on 23-Mar-2025Clematis Cottage is a really nice place to stay. Lovely village location with very friendly locals.The cottage is very spacious, clean and comfortable, en suite’s in both double bedrooms. Liz is extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Lots of information on where to eat/visit etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it. The only disappointment was the local pub wasn’t serving food as they’re looking for a chef!
A lovely place to stay
By Emily & Ryan on 21-Feb-2025We stayed in Clematis Cottage for a long weekend and had a wonderful time. The cottage itself is beautiful, clean, and has everything you need. You are walking distance to a number of great beaches and the local pub. We will certainly visit again.
Wonderful Cottage in Kingston - 10/10
By Andrew & Fay on 15-Feb-2025As returning guests, we were delighted with another perfect stay. The cottage was immaculately clean and warm when we arrived. The requested travel cot and highchair for our 1-year-old were ready upon arrival. The comfort level is exceptional - especially the enormous master bedroom. Fresh linens and towels throughout, and our cocker spaniel loved relaxing by the open fire. The secure garden was perfect for letting her outside safely. The kitchen is fully equipped with ample storage and a large fridge/freezer. The heating system (Google Nest) is responsive and efficient, and the open fire was easy to use, with some logs provided. Hot, powerful shower perfect after coastal walks. Kingston village is picturesque with a great pub (The Dolphin) and playground within walking distance. Excellent location for exploring South Devon - Bigbury, Burgh Island, Wonwell Beach, Modbury and Dartmouth all nearby. Check-in/out was seamless with a simple key code system. This cottage suits families and couples, and is perfect for dog owners. Highly recommended - we'll definitely return again.
Very enjoyable stay
By Clive Rough on 19-Oct-2024We had a great stay for 6 nights at Clematis Cottage in late October .The cottage is very comfortable and well - equipped. We immediately felt at home there. There are two good size bedrooms , both en suite, plus a good size and cosy lounge and a spacious and attractive kitchen . We ate in most nights and the kitchen was great for this . The weather was not ideal for us , but there is room to sit in the garden , which would be lovely in better weather. Kingston itself is a small quiet village with a good pub ( The Dolphin ) situated in an attractive location in the South Hams area of South Devon . All in all we had a great stay at Clematis Cottage . Thank you .
Comfortable and cosy stay
By Beth Winsor on 27-Sep-2024We stayed at both Clematis and Rose Cottages with extended family. It was a great set-up for us as we can be together, and yet have our own personal space when needed. The cottages are both comfortable and cosy, with everything we could possibly need. There were lovely walks from the doorstep and the pub in the village was also great! It has easy access to the coast as well, which we really made the most of. We had a great week-end and can highly recommend!
