A very relaxing holiday

Review Submitted: November 29, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
We stayed at Iris Cottage the first week of November 2011. The cottage provides very comfortable, warm and homely accommodation with everything you need. The kitchen is well stocked, all the bedrooms are a good size and it's a bonus having two bathrooms. Stancombe itself is such a quiet, peaceful place, yet it offers great facilities such as pool, tennis court, snooker room which are in great condition. We went for some beautiful coastal walks, discovered lovely beaches and had some fantastic pub lunches. It was great to finish the day with a swim in the pool at Stancombe. Naturally it was very quiet when we were there in November but I can imagine it would offer an equally quiet and peaceful holiday in peak season as there is so much open space. Overall it was the perfect escape from every day life. I would definitely recommend Iris cottage to friends and family.

Perfect family holiday accommodation

Review Submitted: February 13, 2010 Date of Stay: December 2009
We have been to Stancombe several times, but this was our first visit to Iris. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The cottage was very comfortable. We didn't experience any damp problems in any of the bedrooms, but I understand the owners have put in a new ventilation system which appears to be working! Hoping to return for another visit next winter.

Iris Cottage a Fri to Fri rental in S Devon

Review Submitted: August 26, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We had a fantastic holiday at this site. The cottage was very lovely and well equipped. the only draw back was that the downstairs was a little damp and there were comments form previous users that their asthmatic son suffered from sleeping in one of the two downstairs bedrooms.
The pool is excellent, there was good play equipment outside. Plus tennis courts and a snooker table room. with all necessary equipment provided. Also a few books and games provided in the cottage.
For children there was also a games room with a table tennis table and a somewhat battered pool table. Lovely beaches nearby both sandy and shingle.
A nice touch was that the owners ensure that there is stock of dry food so that you don;t have to rush out the moment you arrive to get those essentials.
