Pretty & Peaceful Location

We booked the property to celebrate a family birthday. The house has everything you would need. It is tastefully furnished but at the same time very practical. Very cozy, spacious and comfortable. Plenty of space for everyone. We had a great time exploring the local area, although we know Devon quite well anyway, its always nice to experience different areas.

Lovely family orientated place to stay

This is our second year at Oak cottage and we think the place is amazing! They have done some lovely improvements over the last year and now the kitchen and bathrooms are of a really good quality. The house is fully equipped for 12 people with masses of kitchen equipment and pretty much everything you could need. We hope to return again with our family next year!

The holiday at Oak Cottage was lovely. The accommodation is very well maintained, clean and excellently furnished. There were ten of us and there was enough space for everyone. The meals could be prepared and eaten together without any problems. In the kitchen, two refrigerators offered enough space for supplies. The living room furnishings allowed you to play at a table, read or talk in comfortable sofas and watch a movie in the TV corner all at the same time. Spacious bedrooms and bathrooms rounded off the good overall impression. There was also enough space to play in the outdoor area and parking was also possible without any problems. In addition, the hosts have lovingly summarized everything important about accommodation, travel and surroundings in three documents, which we were sent to prepare for the trip. However, there is a small drop of bitterness for German holidaymakers. The roads in the area within a radius of about 5km are sometimes very narrow, typical for the country, but always offer alternative options. This takes some getting used to, especially with a left-hand drive car in left-hand traffic, which sometimes makes it difficult to see into the next curve. Nevertheless, we would like to come back, if it weren't for the long journey, which is more than justified by the accommodation and the beautiful landscape and the many idyllic villages.

Family Holiday

We stayed here for a week with our 3 children, their parners and 4 grand children, making a party of 12. The house was amazing, from a very well equipped kitchen, lovely bedrooms and relaxing seating areas, all beautifully decorated.There was a large garden, (athough the little ones needed supervision as there are two large ponds), and a lovely courtyard seating area. A very well stocked under stairs cupboard with windbreak, chairs, parasol etc for the beach.Also games,and a pool/table tennis table. We were lucky not to need them, but very useful if the weather not good. The area is perfect for a seaside holiday, we were lucky enough to have gorgeous weather, and visited Tor Cross, Bantham, Blackpool Sands and Bigbury.Nearby Dartmouth and Kingsbridge also. Highly recommend, a lovely property and good communication wth owner.

Oak Cottage, Buckland Court

Perfect half-term week for 6 adults and 5 children. All the facilities needed for the whole party, although one minor glitch - shower in master bedroom takes time for water to empty. Gets close to overflowing. That said, everything else in the property was great. Spent time in Dartmouth, did steam train ride to Paignton from Kingsweir, walked part of the SW coastal path, visited Salcombe (very pretty place), and walked and used the pubs in Slapton and Beesands. A great week enjoyed by all. Driving the roads around the immediate vicinity is a challenge - all single track with passing spaces. Met plenty of vans, lorries, tractors and Chelsea tractors.

Gorgeous cottage, perfect stay

Perfect cottage (Oak) for extended family aged 12-82! Layout could not have been better and allowed for multiple activities to take place simultaneously, keeping everyone happy whilst all ‘together’. Spacious, well equipped, immaculate and cozy with stunning garden (ideal for Easter egg hunt!). Great location too.

Spacious cottage

This cottage is more spacious than it looks. We had a family Christmas together and there was plenty of space for everyone and lots if different areas to spend time in. The cottage is extremely well equipped, and we cooked Christmas dinner. There is a garden area, but it is not directly outside the cottage, it is a large area and our grandchildren had a lot of fun playing in it. All beds were comfortable with clean linen. We know the area well and the cottage is 2 miles from Slapton village which is very pretty. The owners were very helpful and communiwith them was good. All in all we would recommend.

What a wonderful holiday

We had a great time in Oak. Everything Karen said about the property was how it was in reality - the photos dont do it justice. We had a gentle lead up to the holiday with a nice conversation from Karen as to the weather and what to do when in Devon. Always on hand and never intrusive. The property itself was deceptively large especially with the games room. The pool table was a hit. The parking was spacious - certainly when compared to London. The kitchen was well equipped with two fridges and plenty of storage and loads of utensils. The decor was modern, clean, welcoming and comfortable. The gardens were relaxing and we tried the BBQ pits which also worked very well. Karen and team had done a great job to ensure we would have a good time - we did. The beds were dreamily comfortable with ample pillows and light duvets. The proximity to the beaches and other attractions was good - the lanes are, without a doubt, narrow and you have to go slowly and be prepared to back - frequently. Dartmouth was handy for shopping with a super Sainsburys and Lidl + fuel. Thank you.

Idyllic and peaceful

We (a group of 6) had a lovely time here - we especially loved the attention to detail, cleanliness and a genuine sense that our hosts cared about every little thing. For the South Hams, this property was relatively centrally located, with easy access to all the locations and attractions in the area. Thank you so much!

A lovely group get together

A lovely property in a quiet part of the Devon countryside. It is set with a few other properties in a converted barn on the grounds of a larger house. There were 3 families in our group consisting of a baby, children and adults. The house itself was well equipped for all ages. The kids loved the garden as well as the pool/table tennis. There was plenty of space inside to spread out. The host was really helpful and even called to check our needs before we arrived. Beware of the narrow lanes in the area! The house was a 10 minute drive from the coast and there were some lovely walks. We also took trips to Dartmouth and Totnes. All in all, a lovely place to stay! Thank you.

Best cottage for large groups

I stayed here with my family ahead of my wedding and got ready for the big day here too. The bedrooms were much roomier than expected and the kitchen be. Was the perfect size and so we’ll set up for cooking for a crowd. The games were perfect and the owners were fab to talk through everything ahead of time and during the stay too when needed. Thank you for the best accommodation for my wedding week!

Devon trip

Lovely spacious house in a quiet rural setting. Had everything we needed for a large family stay and what was a total bonus was being able to take the dogs with us and that they were welcomed by the owner. Such a refreshing change.

Fantastic home away from home

Our family has had one of our most comfortable, enjoyable and pretty holidays here at Oak Cottage. From the get go, Jude was quick to respond, kind and helpful. We cannot recommend Oak Cottage enough, it is absolutely wonderful. A true home away from home, not only does it have everything you could think of and need, but is also laid out, labelled and organised so intuitively and helpfully. From a spare cool box, to a wind breaker, boogey boards, to different wine glass types, to large salad bowls and vases, the provisions are bountiful and yet the place is spacious, uncrowded and decorated with charming relics seemingly from their travels. The beds were perfectly comfortable, clean and you could tell the bedding was like new. Their Covid-19 cleaning policy is very impressive, and as a family with various needs re keeping safe, we felt very safe here. The house is in a charming little compound of other cottages, but it was so quiet and we never felt anything but privacy between the passing nods of hello with our neighbours. The communal gardens were such a treat, large and with incredible views of rolling countryside fields, sheep nearby and they even have their own resident ducks at the pond. And delicious apples falling from the trees! Beautiful Devonshire villages and beaches are a short drive away, but taking a walk along the lanes is also a great way to see the local area and enjoy its charms of horses, chicken boxes, sprawling woodland and rolling fields of chicken, sheep and cows. The bedrooms are also well sized as well as multiple rooms and sections downstairs for lounging in, meaning those who might want to read can sit separate to those who wish to play a boardgame, separate to those watching TV, and those keeping company to those cooking etc. So spacious! This is the kind of holiday place that is very well organised without sacrificing its homeliness and warmth. Highly recommend!
