The Bothy Reviews

We spent a lovely week at the Bothy. It has lovely views of the surrounding countryside and is only a few mins drive away from Slapton. Dartmouth and Salcombe are within easy reach although would recommend sticking to the main roads and ignore sat nat as some of the roads are very narrow! We hope to return again soon.

Lovely location, the holiday home was just perfect, with everything you would need for a break away. Such a peaceful setting, watching the sheep was so relaxing. It was great to see the swallows nesting and the buzzards in the field. Thank you.

This has to be one of the best cottages we have stayed in and the views were beautiful . The only thing for me were the ants. Not to many for us in March but I can imagine in the summer there would be a lot more.

Patricia Jean

Absolutely loved our winter break at the Bothy. Felt just like home, but better! This is a fabulous property, with everything you could possibly need supplied for you. Would highly recommend this property for a relaxing stay.

Lovely property. Everything was nice and clean. Hot tub was great after a day out walking. Loved sitting in the hot tub watching the sheep. We didn't use the kitchen for cooking but it seemed well equipped for if we had wanted to. The only negative was not being able to control the heating. Just a bitt too hot in the bedrooms for us. Would highly recommend The Bothy.

The views and the Bothy are lovely. We found the heating a little too warm for us, its a very modern system that visitors can not adjust. The lanes through the village up are single track, and places to pass few. The peace when u arrive is worth it.

Rodney

The Brothy was superb in every respect. One of the best cottages we have stayed in. The views were amazing. It was well equipped and spacious. The hot tub was a definite bonus.

A great property and very well equipped, very clean and tidy.

Rosalind

The Bothy is one of the loveliest cottages we have ever stayed at. From the moment we rounded the bend in the track and saw it framed by idyllic fields, and with the backdrop of a blue, sparkling sea, we knew it was going to be a special place, and it was. It is completely selfcontained we didn't see another human being apart from a farmer in the distance driving a hay baler and the occasional person who came to feed the sheep the entire time we were in the cottage, and all we could hear was the wind in the trees, the birds and the aforementioned sheep, who were our welcome companions for the week. The views, from around the cottage and through the lounge windows, are sublime, and you can walk down the hill and into Slapton Wood which, again, was deserted and felt like our own private woodland. We heard so many species of birds, and saw both a barn owl and a tawny owl, which was wonderful! The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, and contained everything we needed for the week. The beds were really comfortable and, combined with the complete darkness and silence at night, gave us a week of great sleep. The hot tub is a lovely addition, particularly when sitting in it at night under the stars. The location of The Bothy is also ideal we had days out in Brixham, Dartmouth and Salcombe, as well as a drive over Dartmoor. We walked the half a mile to one of the pubs in the village, and Slapton Nature Reserve well worth a visit and Slapton Sands are only a mile away. If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing and naturefilled holiday, we couldn't recommend The Bothy more!

A beautifully appointed property set in the heart of the countryside and with stunning views in all directions. We made full use of the hot tub, which manages privacy while still giving stunning views of the countryside, not to mention the birds feeding their young in the nest box in the oak overhead! We managed plenty of walking with several trips to the beach and a couple of pubs but we ate at the Bothy every night to make the most of the views. On 6 out of the 7 nights the weather was kind and we ate outside to the sound of lambs and owls. A brilliant holiday.

Steven

A superb property in a beautiful, peaceful location. We had a wonderful time and South Devon is stunning.

Fabulous place to stay. A beautifully renovated building the perfect location for peace and quiet. Very well equipped and very comfortable. If you were going to choose a bolthole and build it to a perfect specification this would be it!

It was a lovely place as described. Isolated amongst fields. The Brothy was well maintained with good quality amenities. Loved the hot tub. Really recommend for anyone wanting a quiet time to relax.

A wonderful property equipped with absolutely everything we could have possibly hoped for, for a quiet, restful and enjoyable stay. The location is second to none, both in good and bad weather with dry moments presenting the opportunity to enjoy the surroundings whilst in colder, wet weather, the logburner turns the Bothy into a lovely cozy space to watch the weather from. We will most certainly be back.

Every thing fantastic

The Bothy has everything we look for in a holiday property. The situation is fantastic being as rural as we could possibly wish for and yet very convenient for lovely towns, villages and seaside. We are always happy when we stay at the Bothy. It is now our third stay. We love the peace and quiet and especially watching the sheep. The property itself has been very tastefully renovated, all we have to do is move in and make ourselves at home. Thank you very much Sarah. Kathy and Derek

Loved it! The peace & tranquility are second to none. A Unique & Contemporary Cottage set in the most beautiful countryside. Whats not to like. My wife was reading on the Deck when a Barn Owl landed on the fence not 10 feet away. The only issue is I wouldnt like to keep opening the two gates in the rain. All in all a wonderful experience.

This was our third stay at The Bothy, and sadly our last. We have had two exceptionally great holidays here in the past, but it seems the general care for the property is not obviously a priority for the owners anymore. We can not fault the location and setting of The Bothy, which is just so unique and the perfect place to get away for a relaxing break. Sadly, the bedding was very unclean on arrival along with generally everything in the house, we had to wash all the bedding and mattress protectors. Everything in the kitchen cupboards was really grubby, and had to be washed up. Not only was the cleanliness dreadful throughout, but a lot of things in the house dont work properly or are broken, the list is endless! A real shame as it used to be our favourite place to stay and was always immaculately clean and well cared for, but unfortunately the location and setting do not make up for these issues.

The Bothy is a very comfortable, clean cottage with all modcons in a beautiful rural location near Slapton. If you are seeking a quiet location in the countryside, surrounded by sheep, wild birds, and fine country views, this is the cottage for you. You will need a car to get around, although you will be a short drive from the village and the coast at Slapton Ley. Great coastal walks at Start Point and Little Dartmouth are within easy reach. We had a minor problem with low water pressure and the owners sorted it out very quickly.

Christopher

Such a relaxing peaceful place to stay at The Bothy. Everything you need for your holiday in the barn. So clean, quiet and a bonus with the hot tub. Listening to the sheep and wildlife is what a holiday is all about. A real good find and will definitely book again

Eamonn

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Bothy, despite the weather although that did mean we got to use the wood burner which we probably would not have done otherwise. We found the whole place clean, tidy and very comfortable especially the beds and everything worked perfectly. I would have only two minor suggestions, i in terms of rubbish, apart from the blue cardboard bag it was not clear what could and should or could be put in the clear and black waste bags, so some comments in the cottage notes would be useful ii we were also not sure what bowls could be used in the microwave and whilst there were sufficient pans there were not any specific microwavable containers. But as I say very minor points and the Bothy is certainly somewhere we would use again if visiting Devon.

Beautiful property. It was extremely comfortable and well maintained.

Eleanor

We had an amazing time staying here. The Bothy is in a great location with wonderful views. The owners have thought of everything for the property and the house was very well equipped and beautifully furnished. Having a hot tub was a bonus and it was lovely sitting out and looking up at the stars. We highly recommend staying here and cant wait to visit again.

Monika

We had a lovely holiday at the bothy, and particularly loved the views, the sheep and the hot tub. Unfortunately, hours of barking by an out of control sheep dog prevented us from booking again for the summer. The underfloor heating is not sufficient for the cold winter months. The bothy is tastefully furnished, but could do with some window dressing to keep out the dark. The place was superficially clean, but could do with a more thorough dusting. Please, replace the very dirty toilet brush.

This was our second stay at The Bothy. It has everything we look for in a holiday cottage. It is in a fantastic position with panoramic views all around. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the patio watching the sheep and simply the peace and quiet.

We enjoyed a wonderful holiday at The Bothy. A beautiful property and stunning views! The hot tub was an added bonus and we enjoyed relaxing in it at the end of the day with a nice glass of wine whilst stargazing. The property was very clean, beautifully furnished and well equipped. The bed was very comfortable and the storage for clothes was the best we've ever had. We will certainly be booking again!

If you love tranquility then this is the place for you. It is peaceful with gorgeous views across sheep filled fields. The property has been beautifully renovated with everything you need and more. Hot tub is in a lovely spot to relax and the outside dining and sun loungers catch sun all day. Perfect for your morning coffeetea and then basking in the sun come afternoon and evening. Only 5 minutes away from slapton sands by car and situated perfectly for visiting the English riviera as well as the South Hams

The Bothy was everything we had hoped for and more. For us, the combination of the quality of the property coupled with the peace, quiet and remoteness was perfect. Yes you need a car to get everywhere, but that is a small price to pay in my opinion. The central location enables you to access many of the wonders of the South Hams with ease. The owners of the property are on hand if needed, nothing is too much trouble for them. The Bothy is decorated, furnished and equipped to a very high standard. Lovely touches abound including a night light in the bathroom, timed outside fairy lights above the hot tub area and plenty of logs for the fire pit for barbecuing or simply enjoying an evening outside with a glass or two watching the sunset. No surprise then that we have already rebooked for the same week next year.

Lovely stone cottage, furnished to a very high standard in a very quiet location close to beach at Slapton 5 minutes by car, or 12 hour walk.

Beautiful holiday home with fantastic views. Very modern and clean. Very comfortable. Only one thing that spoiled the holiday was the sheep farmers dogs that barked continuously.

We loved our stay at the Bothy. The location is quiet and peaceful a fabulous base for a very active week, my husband sea kayaking and I walking sections of the sw coastal path. The property is appointed with everything you could possibly need and finished to an extremely high standard. Slapton is a great village and we enjoyed both of the friendly pubs a bonus was happening on open gardens weekend. The hot tub and the fire pit were particularly welcome. Thank you! We will definitely be back.

A better description on the approach to the property would be more beneficial. Although the view is beautiful from the property some window dressings would be ideal at night. Better welcome pack on how to use things, only discovered the downstairs bedroom window fully opens which is ideal when using the Hot Tub. No instructions on how the cooker extractor works!

Samantha

We had an amazing chilled week at the Bothy. Everything you need was there. Great to have the sheep in the fields too. Its a Lovely part of Devon. Would definitely recommend and will be back!!!

Hello Sarah and Robin Thank you very much for a very enjoyable holiday. We loved staying at The Bothy. We appreciated the peace and quiet, the beautiful views and watching the sheep. It is a lovely comfortable place to stay, we would highly recommend it. We would like very much to come back again one day, there was so much we didn't see. Thank you again. Kathy and Derek

Nicola

Beautiful property in a wonderful tranquil and peaceful location. Comfy beds, good shower with lots of hot water, views of the fields and valley from every side of the living area and a hot tub to relax in. There was nothing to complain about, it was a truly relaxing and rejuvinating week at the Bothy, we hope to be back next year.

The property is lovely, well equipped and comfortable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Bothy. Absolutely beautiful location and views. The new hot tub was very much enjoyed as were the very comfortable beds and log burner. Couldnt fault it whatsoever apart from we couldnt see that we were able to alter the heating and found it a bit stifling in the mornings. But better than way round than being cold! Wonderful base for walking and getting to Salcombe and Dartmouth. I must apologise a wine glass was chipped in the dish washer. I believe my friend left a note. Thank you so much for having us! Will definitely recommend!

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location

We really enjoyed staying at The Bothy. Having no near neighbours really enhanced the experience. Seeing the sheep being herded by the sheep dog was amazing. We would love to come back again sometime. Jackie, Thomas and Tim
