Reliable and hassle free holidays.

I have used this company for the past 5 years to book properties in the Devon area. Toad Hall Cottages have proved to be very efficient and reliable. They have some excellent properties to choose from. They communicate well and the booking and holiday experience is always hassle free. That’s why I keep coming back to them.

First Class Company

We have booked multiple holiday cottages with Toad Hall and all of them have been excellent and exactly as described. When there have been issues then Toad Hall have been amazing in their responsiveness. This has been both when sorting out minor maintenance issues (sticking door etc) or more significant issues like our need to cancel, or a flooded property which was no longer available.

This is a First Class company that we know we can trust.

Perfect location on the south Devon…

Perfect location on the south Devon coast.
Major has been totally refurbished which was a great improvement as it had become a little dated.
Unfortunately there were a few cleaning issues. The sinks in the bedrooms were not clean and the downstairs bath was dirty.
However we love this location and makes for a great family get together.

Mayflower Court

Great location, overlooking the river dart in Dartmouth, town centre just a short stroll away. Dumped the car for a week and used bus service,ferries ,and steam train to surrounding towns.
Car park for small to medium size cars otherwise you'd struggle to get out of your car.

Idyllic cottage beautiful location

Pro’s. Lovely cottage. Very comfortable ,very well equipped, amazing location on the estuary with mudflats to water lapping below you twice a day.

Cons. Parking and access to cottage is a faff but ok once you’re in. Lighting on the steps from road needs attention. None working as of October. Some building work next door but was not an issue for us.
Twin room mattresses felt thin .

First class service keeps us returning

First class service which keeps us coming back!

Our experience of Toad Hall Cottages and the properties they market has always been good. I wont lie when we found out that there was to be major gas works outside the property during our stay we were a little concerned, but THC took care of arranging alternative parking nearby and provided us with an electronic permit.

When mum was hospitalised during our stay, Toad Hall Cottages went above and beyond to support us with the challenge of not knowing when she would be discharged, arranging with owners a continuation of stay for me if needed, putting my mind at rest and allowing us to focus on getting mum fit and well.

Great service, excellent communication and fantastic properties. We will be booking again!

We loved our time at white cottage

We loved our time at white cottage. The house is great, really comfortable beds and spacious lounge, dining and kitchen area. People had mentioned road noise but we found it really quiet and peaceful. It’s a brilliant location and great if you have dogs - nearest beaches are all dog friendly. Also fab walks minutes from the house. Toad hall as good as ever - thank you

Hilltop Cottage, Lyme Regis

We had a great time in Lyme Regis & found the accommodation very comfortable. We did need to contact Toad Hall about a technical problem & within 30 minutes Joe the maintenance man arrived. What a super team & Joe is a great advertisement for the company. Looking forward to returning.

Toadhall cottages do not print all…

Toadhall cottages do not print all review’s especially if you write anything negatively. Even though it is your experience and opinion they quoted the following to me via email when I questioned why my review had not been printed -

Two of my colleagues, who use the cliff/coastal path to the beach on a regular basis, reviewed your comments, and feel that it was not reflective of the current situation. In addition the drive is as advertised. Feedback from other guests don't illustrate your concerns either; it was therefore considered to be inaccurate.

For these reasons your review was removed from our website pages.

We attempt to publish any review that we receive including negative ones. However, there are sometimes reasons that we cannot publish a review. One of these is that we believe it to be ...
Factually incorrect- we will remove until all facts are agreed
Abusive or unintelligible
Slanderous or defamatory
Unproven or unsubstantiated claims
All of the reviews that we post are from real customers that have stayed at the property.

I hope this help you understand why we didn't publish the review.

In short I advised them - Photographs not representative of current situation ie cottage is overlooked by other properties that have been underpinned (steel rods into the cliff held together with a net) to stop further erosion.
Very difficult to access beach from property without climbing over rocks. Gate is no Longer there. Bottom wire of fence is missing and therefore not enclosed for dogs.
Old coastal path stops at property. We had several People ask us the way.
The drive is extremely dangerous in wet weather. We got stuck on the rising hairpin bend and skidded. Dreadful experience.
