We are Katie and Rupert, a husband and wife team and we live in South Devon. Rupert is Brixham born and bred and Katie moved to Torquay in 1995, initially to study tourism but found it too hard to leave! We now have kids and we’re well and truly settled here.
Not only are we passionate about creating excellent holiday experiences but we also love this beautiful part of the UK where we live.

What our guests have to say
This was a lovely cottage, the owners have done a great job of mixing the original charm and features with modern and safe practicalities that make this place great for everyone even young families. We didn’t use all the facilities due to the time of year but the games room and hot tub were fantastic. Lots of Welsh beauty surrounding you in the shape of beaches and waterfalls and mountain walks! There was only one slight negative and we only mention it for transparency and that was that the cottage is placed close to a A road and some traffic noise is heard from the bedrooms, we adjusted very quickly and it didn’t impact our stay, we also appreciate there is not anything the owners can do about that. We will definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you!
The hot tub was a highlight of our trip, providing the perfect way to relax and unwind. We also loved watching the planes flying overhead—it added a unique touch to our experience that we will always remember.Also surroundings was so beautiful,nature, waterfalls 😍
Thank you for your help and for creating such a beautiful space. We hope to return soon!
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay in your beautiful Welsh cottage! We truly enjoyed every moment, from the cozy interiors to the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Your attention to detail and thoughtfulness made us feel right at home.
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and experience the charm of Wales. Looking forward to coming back someday!
Warm regards

Excellent instructions for arrival, the cottage was easy to find. The road is fairly busy but it didn't bother us at all. Some lovely walks in the area. Slightly disappointed that whilst the walk into Corris village was enjoyable it wasn't an option to pop to the pub in the evening for a few drinks as it would be a hard slog up the hill (and in the dark at this time of year!). But again, not a massive problem as we enjoyed the cottage, games room and hot tub enough so were more than happy staying in.
Really wonderful holiday, thank you.
Very comfortable stay! Would recommend!
Which brings me “nicely” onto the review of the property itself
For a short stay, this place is ideal. However if you are perhaps non driving folk (like myself/mum), & if you’re hoping to stay longer than a weekend, be aware that not everything is within walking distance, or as “smooth sailing” within the property as you would expect (considering the price paid to stay)
As aforementioned, Katie was incredibly diligent in helping us out throughout the various difficulties experienced (WiFi not working, blackout due to not enough money left on the meter for our stay) but I do feel this should not have been an issue to begin within, & did sadly impact our enjoyment during our stay.
It's been many years since I have been to Brixham and it is nice to see that the harbour has kept it's character, unlike Torquay, which we visited for the day and was less than impressed.
If you're looking for somewhere to stay, whether it's as a couple or a family, this is the place to book.
A lots of steps outside and inside of the property which was not a problem for us but could be for someone. WiFi password hasn’t been updated in a welcome book again was not a problem for us.
Definitely 5* place without shadow of doubt
Parking right outside could be a little difficult at times but that is un avoidable with most tourist areas, but there was plenty of other parking.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cottage stay.
It’s right in the middle of some beautiful walks and some stunning locations. Just a short drive to some great attractions and some pieces of history.
The place itself was spotless and clean and was very modern. Felt way bigger than it shows in the photos to.
Beautiful place, great host, would happily book Little Greenway again.
