Mailscot Reviews

Ian
Lovely cottage in a good location.
Susan
Comfortable cottage set in lovely shared garden.Great village location with easy access to coastal walks and choice of beaches.
Jayne
This was our second stay at Mailscot. It's a lovely cottage and has been refurbished since our last visit to a high standard with good quality bed linen, pillows, duvet and towels. Although it is a shared garden we had it to ourselves and even though you are in the heart of Mortehoe it is very quiet and very pretty. The ceilings in all of the rooms are high which is a great bonus as we are both tall! We'll definitely stay at Mailscot again - it's in a great location and is very comfortable.
Jamie
Be aware if staying with a young child and you require a travel cot and high chair - we found the travel cot soaking wet, dirty and mouldy. The high chair was found stained and quite dirty. Overall the property was ok, rough round the edges and needs a bit of love.
Victoria
The cottage is absolutely beautiful, and the location was perfect for coastal walks and trips to the local villages. The cleanliness could have been improved somewhat; cobwebs and dusting needed in places, but the beds were super comfortable and the log fire was cosy and welcome after long walks. We would 100% stay again.
Mary
Lovely 4 bed property within walking distance of the village centre. A high standard and very comfortable. Good position for walks from the door although you need to be fit as the coastal path is steep with many ups and downs.
Janet
Lovely accommodation with door opening onto a beautiful large garden perfect for us in the evenings and our labrador Monty
Peter
Mailscot is a beautiful place to stay! We loved the log fire, the house keeps really warm, the garden is spacious and gets loads of sun. Woolacombe bay is a 5 minute drive away and there are some beautiful walks straight out the drive. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back again!
Louise Alicia
