    It was just what we hoped for but more. The kitchen had all we needed, the lounge and conservatory were ideal for sitting and enjoying the wildlife. And the bedroom , amazing. We would definitely come back.

  • "What a gorgeous place to stay!"

    We had a herd of deer grazing right outside the window. My dog loved her woodland walkies as did I. The cottage had everything we needed and was very warm and comfortable. The only slight gripe was that the bathroom could get quite chilly at night. Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay.

  • "Wonderful setting although cottage felt very cold dark and unwelcoming a few more heaters and brighter lighting."

    Also a sign at front gate indicating that magnolia lake cottages are there would have been useful.

    Hello, thank you for your feedback. As it is pictured, Camellias is located at the edge of a wooded area, the ideal place for a Log Cabin. I am sure when you turned on the heaters, in every room, and switched on the lights, wall lights, chandelier and spot lights, the cottage would have given you a very warm and cosy feeling. Nowadays with Google Maps, What3Words and navigators additional signs are no longer encouraged. Property Owner

    As promised we saw deer from the living room. It was magical.

    Thank you for choosing Camellias Cottage for your holiday in Devon. We are so pleased to hear from you that you enjoyed your stay and did have a good view of the deer in the gardens. We hope we can welcome you here again. Diane Property Owner

  • "Diane was a good host and the cottage had everything we needed for our stay."

    We understood before we stayed that the cottage was in the woods and it is a lovely setting. Not easy to find, especially at night, as signage to the property is non-existent but ok when we got used to it! As previous travelers have mentioned the cottage is dark. This is very true! Much better quality and brighter lighting should be installed to make the cottage more comfortable. Heating is by small plug-in electric heaters - 3 in total and they are not enough to ward off the late September chills.

  • "The cottage was just right."

    Although a little dark as it is nestled among the trees, the lights were adequate so it didn't affect our stay. We had a lovely time in that part of Devon. Lots to see and do even with crazy weather and good food around as well. Always important!

  • "Cottage had a musty smell,very dark inside need to have lights on all the time ..."

    Cottage had a musty smell,very dark inside need to have lights on all the time ,needs branches cut off trees to let sunlight in ,

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. Camellias is located on the edge of a wooded area as depicted on the website listing. This is a rural area and the trees are well maintained. I understand it was quite quite stormy and rainy during your stay so unfortunately was the weather unseasonably gloomy for your June holiday. There is a conservatory at Camellias that is light and airy and the light levels in the log cabin are quite good. As with all properties, it is always best to keep ventilated especially during a two week booking. Property Owner

  • "It was wonderful to experience Devon in Las Magnolias."

    It was exactly as expected, the place was clean and we had everything we needed. It is the perfect place to go and disconnect from the world, as there is barely no internet, which invites you to explore the surroundings or just enjoy the company of each other. There are plenty of things to explore, just ask Diane or her son for some recommendations. I would repeat again!
