Winter stay at Devlin's Cottage

A charming, beautiful and cosy old stone cottage of 3 rooms. Basic but adequate facilities. Being able to have a wood fire was a wonderful. The bed was very comfortable. The cottage could be improved with a second bedside table and lamp and 2 extra lights in the kitchen/dining/lounge room; namely, a standard lamp next to the long sofa for reading and another light over the cooking area as the ceiling light was not particularly strong and not well placed given the configuration of cooking facilities. Stayed 2 nights and wished we could have stayed longer.

Lovely Cottage

Loved our stay at Devlins Cottage and hope to return someday! The cottage was cosy and enjoyed relaxing by the fire and looking out to the views of the ocean. Our stay could have been made better with a couple of small improvements. The firewood supply was minimal and there was no prior notice of this so it was a pain to have to drive into Portland the next day to get more. It was also disappointing to arrive and find tea, coffe and sugar canisters empty except for four sugar sticks. Also maybe the listing needs to be updated as we couldn't find the BBQ anywhere!? Everything else was fabulous!

Beautiful but sadly neglected

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage is beautifully located. It is quaint and historic. As far as amenities go, it has everything you need but it was dirty. Fire place still had ashes, dusty, dirty ring in bath, shower water didn't drain, towels were stained. Sent the agent a nice email to let them know and didn't even receive a response, hence my review.

Perfect for a quiet getaway

Small, charming cottage, comfortable in its simplicity and unencumbered by unnecessary comforts/distractions. Perfect for a quiet retreat, sans screens, and a short walk to an unspoilt beach.

Cute quirky cottage

A gorgeous little cottage with stunning views. Perfect location for exploring the nearby coastline. Day trips to Portland and Glenelg added to the fun. Wonderful wildlife including an octopus swimming by. We will be back

Devlins Cottage is a place for couples wishing to escape the big city

A charming, but definitely not for everyone, cottage. No TV no problem. Only heating is a wood fire heater. Limited kitchen facilities. But it is in a great location with spectacular view of nearby bay. Lots of wonderful walks along the coastline.
