Highly recommended for South Devon holidays
We have used Toad Hall Cottages for all our stays in south Devon since our children (now almost grownup) were babies. Easy booking, professional staff and quick to solve any issues. We must have stayed in over 10 properties altogether, returning to some of them. We will use them every time.
Beware! Negative reviews are deleted
Beware!! The Toad Hall Cottages website doesn’t show ‘real’ reviews and anything negative is deleted. This is giving potential customers a false representation of the property. My review was deleted earlier today.
My review for 5 Peninsular Court in Sandbanks, Dorset was as follows..
The mattress was terrible, it sank as soon as you lay or sat on it. It was extremely uncomfortable and although a mattress topper was provided, this made no difference. The pillows were stained yellow, the slats underneath the mattress were broken and there was clothing from past guests left. There were no sanitary bins provided in the bathrooms, the only bin available was in the kitchen. There was sand in the bath and shower and on the balcony cushions. Items left from previous guest's underneath the sofa and stained cushions in the living room. The location was incredible and only a 2 minute walk from the beach. The area was quiet and the property was a really good size.
Unless vast improvements are made, we won’t be returning to this particular property.
Very straightforward holiday booking
Very straightforward holiday booking. Clear information given and the house was fantastic!
Toad Hall Cottages are great
Toad Hall Cottages helped us find just the right place in South Devon for us. We had a lovely holiday. They were helpful and efficient in the business arrangements and even took the trouble to phone us when we were on our journey to say we could arrive a little earlier at our cottage as the housekeeping team had it ready in plenty of time. Altogether a very positive experience!
Prompt and helpful responses
Prompt and helpful responses. Lovely real people.
Beautiful cottage
Beautiful cottage - well furnished and in a very quiet hamlet. Near to South Pool and the lovely Millbrook Inn, and a short drive to East Portlemouth and the gorgeous beaches on this side of the estuary. Nice welcome pack too!
A user friendly booking process
The property was just as good as described. The arrival went smoothly and the whole process was straightforward.
Great holiday cottage experience
I have used Toad Hall Cottages several times for family holidays in both Devon and the New Forest. The properties have always been very clean and well looked after. I would highly recommend.
Good balance of accommodation
Beautiful house and location plus lovely sea views and a nearby beach at Cellars within walking distance.
Kingsbridge Devon We have Just returned from Kin Devon
Just returned from Kingsbridge Devon. The cottage we stayed in was very homely and very well equipped, clean and had more facilities than advertised. The communication with Toad Hall Cottages was excellent. I would definitely recommend them. Looking forward to using them again.
Fabulous Toorak
Beautiful home and location. Views from the house are amazing! We will definitely be back.
Third Year of Toad Halling
This is the third year in a row that we have used Toad Hall Cottages. Hopefully that speaks for itself, but to add more flesh to the bone I have always found the properties well sourced, well look after, clean and in great locations and we’ve used Toad Hall to stay in properties from as far west as Pendeen, as far South as St Keverne and as Devonly (?!?) as Hope Cove.
Communication is always clear and concise. I’ve never had a course to contact them during our stay as everything has been as they assured it would be.
Beautiful accommodation
Beautiful accommodation, very clean with all necessary facilities. Received a phone call to say the place was ready for us before the official check in time. Highly recommended.
Great cottage, great booking experience
Easy booking for a lovely cottage in Dartmouth. Thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend there. Plenty of space for our family and Grandad to stay.
We have used Toad Hall Cottages many…
We have used Toad Hall Cottages many times and consider them a very professional company. The communication is superb and have never had an issue in all the years we have been using them. We have never been disappointed with any of the properties they look after, and will certainly be booking with them again. Stay July - August 2025

We really enjoyed our stay at Gypsy
We really enjoyed our stay at Gypsy. The bungalow was bigger than we expected and very clean. The views are amazing. Hannafore is so quiet and relaxing. Loved it!!
Just what we needed!
We thoroughly enjoyed our return visit to Lower Goosewell Cottage, finding it just as we remember. The location is perfect for golf, tennis, beach, pub and shop and the house is extremely comfortable and clean. The welcome pack of scones, jam and clotted cream is an added bonus!
