It's hey-day was in the 1950s and 60s before the advent of affordable foreign travel and there is still that nostalgic feel to Exmouth which is much appreciated by families taking holidays here.There is a fabulous 2 mile long sandy beach and Exmouth is the gateway to the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.

    Pet friendly with our budgies (a lot of places we looked at did not allow them but this one did). Rooms were all clean no issues there, good communication, there was an issue with the fire alarm going off but we all had a laugh about that and it was all good, only happened for 1 day while staying there. Overall an amazing stay and experience, loved the town and the beach as well.

    Well equipped house in convenient location, we didn’t use the car all week as everything is nearby, nice garden to relax in, comfy beds.

    The property was as described. Perfectly comfortable for a family of 4 for a short break. The beds were comfy and the shower was good. It was surprisingly very quiet, even though it was a terrace. With two teenagers a second bathroom/toilet would have been a bonus and parking around the location was quite a challenge as our car was too big to fit in the parking space. We did think our car would be too big, so to be fair we expected to have to find a parking alternative when we read the description. The location was really good as you could walk everywhere you needed to. It was great to be able to get the train to Exeter for a day out. I would recommend this house and we would be happy to stay again if we visit the area.

    Good communication with agents. Collection of front door key a short walk to pub. Back entrance by key box. Back garden nicely enclosed for our Westie dogs. House located close to the town and seafront making it ideal for walking. Moving the car more difficult as on road parking hard to find but parking at rear of house available for one small car as advertised. All facilities available in the house I describe as comfortable not luxurious.

    Laurel cottage was a beautifully presented property approx five mins from the heart of Exmouth. Parking in Exmouth is terrible (we have a people carrier so couldn't park at the property) but I was able to park all week next to the train station in the long stay for £25 which was just under ten mins walk from the cottage. Bedrooms were very nice and spacious.

    Cleanliness of property was poor. A number of issues were reported to the local agents. Also reported included broken window catch and leaking toilet with chain becoming disconnected.

    We had a lovely stay at Laurel Cottage. It had everything we needed to for a comfortable stay. The cottage itself is beautiful with stylish furniture. We particularly enjoyed sitting out in the garden, which was a safe enclosed space for us to let our dog out in to. The cottage is really close to shops and the beach, a perfect location.

    Great location, lovely clean house. Parking was a bit of a nightmare out the front, and the space out the back was tight. But overall a great experience.

    Thank you Kate and Laura for a wonderful stay in Laurel Cottage. Your home is very well appointed and has a great location for exploring the south coast of Devon. Parking space is a little tight, but there is plenty of on street parking in the surrounding area and a handy map of where this all is! Thanks again for a great stay Alice and co.
