    nothing! well perhaps the tight reversing required to park the car - but soon got the hang of it! it is a quaint village after all with very narrow roads

    central location in a pretty village walking distance to the pub

    the second room is really large, seems a shame to only have a double bed - be it really comfortable!

    beautiful decor, really clean and tidy, next to a gorgeous little pub 2 mins walk up the road (if that!), comfortable beds and lots of nice touches. loved the fluffy dressing gowns, candles everywhere and outdoor lights

    The air freshener was overwhelming. I unplugged of them because it was difficult to breathe.

    The location was amazing—a perfect little village with an excellent pub and beautiful countryside. Spotless and newly renovated bathroom and kitchen!

    Nothing. Everything was perfect!

    It has everything you could need, and more. Lots of cute little touches and very very good quality ammenities. The entire house was not only beautiful, but so comfy. We both felt super relaxed and loved the jacuzzi too. Location is brilliant, and almost next door to a REALLY good pub.

    Nothing... no complaints from me.

    Cosy beautifully furnished cottage in a small peaceful village surrounded by friendly neighbours. Small log fire to snuggle down next too, and a Hot Tub to relax in after a day walking around the local landscape.

    There honestly isnt anything to dislike, even on a rainy day.

    Everything, 2nd visit to this stunning cottage and the attention to detail from the owner is superb. After staying in quite a lot of cottages all over the UK Briardene is up with the best. We couldn't recommend Briardene enough from cottage through to location.

    Confusion about hot tub. Hot tub mentioned in all reviews on booking.com, I did not want to use on this occasion but I was asked to pay £50.00 before arrival for its use. I think the price on booking.com should be clear that this is an extra. I did not pay as I did not use. And I was only there one night.

    This venue is a joy Very well presented House. Nice touches on arrival - Milk in fridge and cup cakes. Outside area next to running stream, Beds comfortable. The Owners seam to have everything right.

    We would find it difficult to find a fault!! It would be good to have a sheet provided for the beds as personally I found the duvet rather warm. We would have loved to have read about the history of the cottage.

    Location very pretty. We loved the valley and village. Briardene Cottage is very tastefully decorated and furnished and the garden and trickling stream a delight. The fresh flowers, cakes and chocolates were a thoughtful touch, as well as the milk in the fridge! Every room was gorgeous and meant we relaxed immediately. It was the perfect place to celebrate my sons graduation from Plymouth University. We would love to return.

    Briardene cottage is just stunning - such a beautiful location in its own little hamlet! The cottage is well equipped with everything you need - the attention to detail by the owner is perfect - fresh cupcakes and hot chocolate upon arrival was perfect for our girls! It’s a great location to go and explore Devon.

    The location is magical with the stream and little bridge over it. Wonderful evening in the summer house.
