Haytor Cottage Reviews

Vivienne
We loved the cottage and its quality furnishings. The owners responded cheerfully and quickly to any of our question. Indoor and outdoor pools fab. Under fives play area a great idea. Our only concern was the steepness of the stairs and the slippy surface of the treads. Although there was a stairgate provided it did not have a childproof catch and our 3 yr old soon mastered it.All of our party felt that some sort of grip on the stairs would have made us less nervous about them. Fortunately it did not spoil our lovely stay.
