Had a lovely relaxing stay in Rambling Rose Cottage,Kingston Devon. Perfect parking place just outside the property and a very short walk to the front door.Very spacious property for us and our 2 dogs and an added bonus of a secure garden outside which had plenty of seating should you wish to sit outside and very private. Nice big porch/utility area which was perfect coming in from the rain and with dogs so was able to get them all dry and clean before entering the cottage and for storing our coats and shoes/boots ,very well set out and planned. we went to lots of beaches with the dogs and they were allowed on all of them and wonwell and burgh island were our favourites all locations very close by. 2 great fields for the dogs a short distance up from the cottage for the dogs morning walks before heading out were perfect bonus. If there were any negatives were the lanes around that area are extremley narrow ,we are use to lanes living in the country but these were much narrower and was an issue locating passing places sometimes so had to get use to doing a lot of reversing in light and dark,But thats devon for you.I didnt take some items as thought there would be enough at the cottage, there was only a tiny amount of cooking oil,washing up liquid,4 satchets of coffee,no kitchen role and that would have been helpful if there had been more I would have brought from home so had to go buy these. and maybe more than 1 teatowel would be good. we didnt sleep so good as for us the beds were just to firm and we ached terrible in the mornings as couldnt get comfy,but that maybe just us,they could be perfect for others,just didnt suit us. our dog did find some left over wrappers from previous people stuffed under the sofas so thats one to look out for,if its there he will find it. Overall, a super place to stay and lots of lovely places to visit and be able to take you dogs on holiday with you and go into everything with you ,which was a lovely change.I would recommend this cottage perfect for couples,familes with or without dogs.Thank you liz for a lovely stay.
The cottage had everything you could want for a holiday. It was comfortable and well equipped and the welcome basket was excellent.
Rambling Rose is an absolutely wonderful cottage - we had the most wonderful stay! There were 7 of us staying, two couples and three kids and there was more than enough room for all of us. The cottage was sparkling clean when we arrived and Jerry and Liz have thought about absolutely everything to really make it feel like a home from home. The kitchen is very well equipped, there were comprehensive instructions for absolutely everything and there were thoughtful little touches like a welcome hamper which made it feel special. It was great to have a washing machine and tumble dryer, the showers are good, beds were comfy and the kids had a triple room which was more than big enough for all of them. The village is picture perfect - the lanes getting there are very narrow and a bit hairy at times if you're not used to Devon, but that is exactly what you'd expect from the area and also Liz sent very helpful additional instructions directing us down less scary lanes! There are loads of beautiful places to visit and great restaurants nearby - the cottage instruction booklet had loads of good ideas, and Liz was more than happy to help with additional ideas and recommendations. The local pub is OK - not amazing food but perfectly decent for a casual meal if you have just done a 10k coastal walk (which we did and LOVED). A short drive in any direction will take you to all manner of beautiful beaches, villages and coastal walks. We particularly loved the local beach (1 mile walk), Dartmouth and Totnes.
We really enjoyed our stay here. There were 3 generations of our family and we had plenty of room. The cottage was clean and, well equipped & cosy . There is one parking bay outside the cottage and although staying in August, we had no problem parking our 2nd car further down the lane. The garden was lovely with shady and sunny areas, great brick barbecue and my granddaughter says she loved the Swingball! We were 15 mins drive from Bigbury's beach, and there were plenty of things to do within a short drive. The welcome hamper was received gratefully after our long journey .We would return in a heartbeat.
Exceeded our expectations. What a wonderful cottage in which to have the first family holiday with my little grandson. Liz the host was fantastic, even calling in to check we’d settled in OK. We will definitely be back at Rambling Rose Cottage. Stylish, peaceful, beautifully decorated, strong WIFI (my sons insisted I point that out!), cream tea and lots of other complimentary goodies waiting for us on arrival in the large kitchen. An idyllic week in Devon.
Fabulous private garden.Beautiful location for walkers, straight from the property. Less than Half hour to Salcombe and Plymouth.
