Toad Hall Cottages Reviews 

2 Ivy Cove is a comfortable family cottage in a perfect position by the beach and the coastal path

We always use toad hall when we head south west. Fab cottages at great value. We’ve never been disappointed

We have just returned from a fabulous week at Little Breeze in Stokenham. The property was perfect for the 2 of us. It was clean, well located and had everything we needed. There was a lovely outdoor area and a good welcome pack - coffee, tea etc for when we arrived. Cannot fault it.

We have returned here many times as we love it because of its location. The balcony overlooks Hope Cove and its beaches, and we have had wonderful weather so eating out there is idyllic. Access to the flat is up the short steep hill and there is no parking except for dropping off using a shared space off the road. The owners make quality improvements annually so it’s well equipped and very comfortable.
Toad Hall cottages deliver booking that is human and easy

I have been booking through ToadHall cottages for the past 5 holidays. All the properties I’ve stayed in have been presented to such a high standard. Beautiful, simple furnishings and so clean and tidy. I really couldn’t recommend them more. South Devon is a very special place and evokes so many happy memories, staying in a beautiful cottage enhances the experience

We were satisfied with our stay in 2025 and rebooked for this year

We have stayed with Toad Hall Cottages before and enjoyed our holidays. The website gives really good information about the property with accurate descriptions and location information. This year, while the house exceeded our expectations, the housekeeping completed for our arrival was poor (hence reduction of one star). We dealt with the issues ourselves and the omissions did not spoil our holiday.

We did report this on departure with photographs of the shortcomings. The Toad Hall team was apologetic, assuring us that this was not the service they aim to provide to guests. They advised us that had we contacted them upon arrival, they would have sent a cleaning team in to rectify the housekeeping issues. My point was that it was not practical to wait for a cleaning team to empty a dirty kitchen bin, clean debris from a dishwasher or remove perishable items from a fridge.

In summary, our holiday in Salcombe was wonderful and we would not hesitate to recommend Toad Hall Cottages for the very best holiday homes in Devon and the South West.

They did not advertise the chosen cottage clearly enough. No mention of it being at the top of a steep hill, causing my mother who has mobility issues a lot of anxiety. We wouldn't have picked the cottage if this information had been mentioned. When we complained there was no apology, but they tried to blame us for not checking the location more thoroughly ourselves! They were happy to take our money £4.5k but refused us any compensation to pay for the taxis we had to order because they wrongly advertised on their website.
Not a friendly company. Not going to book with them again.

We return to the property year after year

Easy to book with. Been using Toad Hall for a few years. Just had our sixth visit to Limpet cottage in Torcross. Stunning views across to Start Point light house. Perfect little property to expore South Hams or just chill out looking at the view

We have used Toad Hall for many years and I can honestly say we have always found them a delight to work with. Their commitment and communication to their clients is one of the main reasons we continue to use them.

Lovely place to stay, fantastic views and a nice 20 minute walk to all the beaches.

We have booked our holidays in South Devon, for the last six years with Toad Hall Cottages.
We mostly book online but, whenever we have called them if we have any problems with the property, they deal with it promptly.
Very friendly and knowledgeable folk. We can highly recommend them to book a property with.

Booking a holiday cottage through Toad Hall Cottages was simple and straightforward. The communication was excellent throughout, the cottage provided was wonderful and exactly as described. This is the second time we have booked a holiday cottage through Toad Hall, and we have found both cottages to be fantastic.

Good accommodation with a range to suit budgets, easy booking and good communication throughout

3rd fantastic stay on Sandbanks in two properties run by Toad Hall Cottages. Beautifully appointed apartments in superb location with amazing welcome basket & wine. Rummsey's team amazing with any queries or requests - thank you so much.

Lovely cottage, if a little dated in some ways. Clean and well equipped. Excellent location for visiting the South Hams. Very easy to book, and excellent information before our stay.

As ever everything was excellent with the latest of our many Toad Hall bookings.

The booking process with Toadhall Cottages was very efficient. The filters helped me identify which cottages would suit our needs, in the area we wanted. Once booked we had regular updates from Toadhall Cottages, giving further information on the cottages and local information. We stayed at Avon Barn in Curtisknowle Devon. This was one of the best cottages we have stayed in. It was spotlessly clean : well maintained and very well equipped. The cottage is in a very quiet and peaceful hamlet with very friendly neighbours who offered plenty of local tips. The cottage is not overlooked by any other property. You do have to drive down some lanes that are narrow in places. The trick is to drive slowly and remember everyone is in the same boat. We didn't meet a lot of traffic but when we did, right of way was sorted out very amicably, quickly and a "thank you" wave.

Toad Hall Cottages were very helpful and indeed went above and beyond when I questioned waterfront accessibility.

They provided me with the cleaners/maintenance contact details which was most helpful as they had forgotten to put out towels. But they did help enormously with what was left by way of consumables in the house. Loo cleaner, washing up liquid, salt, pepper etc. You don't want to buy it all and you don't want to cart it all along from home if it's already there.

It would have been helpful to know the downstairs loo was out of order and the steps to the garden were rather deep and quite hard.
