setting & beautiful weather! Haven't slept this well in a very long
time. Who needs somewhere tropical for their Honeymoon when you have
Devon. Thank you for a lovely stay"
Liz and Neil, Galway, Ireland (March

"Had a wonderful week for New Year,
managed to keep warm with the log burner. The local pub, The Malt Scoop
is great, or a brisk hours walk away is the London Inn at Morchard
Bishop serves excellent food .... Honey Cottage is very cosy and has
everything you need. Lapford has a good butchers shop that is worth
supporting. All the locals are really friendly..."
Liz and Dom, London (Jan 2009)

try!" Jason & Sally, Bristol

Foggintor Quarry." The Rive
Family, Isle of Sheppey, Kent (October 2008)
