Weeke Brook - Quintessential thatched luxury Devon cottage

I had quite high hopes for this cottage and had seen it a few times before and not booked for one reason or another. I am so pleased I did. It is in a gorgeous position on a quiet lane overlooking fields and completely private and quiet. The stream at the front makes a wonderful sound and always made me happy. The gardens go around the house which is nice for exploring and we didn’t spend any time in the garden really (it was October) but the table and chairs made me think how lovely it would be to sit or eat outside in the after, drier months. The house itself is so warm and cosy and whereas the kitchen is not big and you slightly manoeuvre around the table, it was such.a lovely centre of the house and very warm thanks to the Aga. The dogs loved it. We did use the downstairs snug and sofa bed, our 16 year old son was very happy with the set up, own space and shower room and we had the three upstairs. My mum had the single which suited her well (it is small) and my daughter happy in the double. We had the big room which is a wonderful and has the comfiest (enormous) bed we had ever slept in! I loved sitting up in bed listening to the stream outside in the morning. The bathroom was down for us although the bath is a bit awkward for older, less agile, people. The only downside is the very loud creaky floorboards which we had to learn to navigate / avoid during the night and early morning because they easily make enough noise to disturb.or wake. I suspect they are tricky to fix.

Cottage was well equipped and very spacious. The access to the sitting platform was overgrown so unable to access this and there were quite a lot of stinging nettles in the garden.

We really enjoyed our stay at Weeke Brook and found everything we needed in the house. The garden surrounding area are lovely. Definitely recommend.

We loved the house and garden and general location. The house is very well equipped and the property was just the right size to enable everyone some space when needed. We all loved it.
