Cramwell Cottage, The Ley Arms

Well laid out cottage Many thoughtful touches Comfortable

Nothing

Set in the peaceful rural village of Kenn, just a few miles from Exeter this three double bed cottage was perfect for my family to stay in whilst we celebrated my daughter graduating from the university.

A small criticism relative to our overall view - the bed mattresses were very soft and squishy.

This is a beautifully designed cottage in a quiet village with a great pub within a short walk. We arrived a couple of days before Christmas to find the downstairs dressed in fairy lights and (very tasteful) Christmas decorations. The cottage is very well provisioned - we cooked for ourselves most nights and found everything we needed. The stocked cupboard and fridge on arrival (with the essentials such as milk, bread and eggs plus a few treats like mince pies) was a lovely surprise. The downstairs shower is exceptional and we enjoyed the hot tub. We didn't need much support while we were there, but when we messaged Martin about emptying the bins, he sorted it within the hour despite it being an exceptionally busy time for him at the pub. All round, we had a wonderful week. It's not cheap (especially being Christmas week) but it felt really special and worth the money.

There is very little that could be done differently to improve Cramwell Cottage. If I were to be very picky, I would say a bigger TV with access to live terrestrial stations would have been appreciated. Do be aware that the stairs are steep, with a tricky couple of steps at the bottom. I actually slipped on them in the dark one night. I would say this property wouldn't suit someone with mobility issues.

Perfect for cold days - hot Jacuzzi, fireplace, wood, comfy sofas etc. nice modernised cottage with real warm interior
