Really well equipped dog friendly house. My son and I were performing at the festival and it was a short drive into Sidmouth and a perfect oasis to recuperate after a day dancing. Some fabulous local walks and great pubs serving great food and ale. We will be hoping to return sometime in the future.

Perfect
The bungalow has everything you could possibly want. Very thoughtful touches awaited us on our arrival - flowers, wine, chocolates. Jacqui was great at answering any questions I had and went out of her way to ensure my Mum and I had a lovely stay. It's the perfect place to stay to explore Devon and Dorset. We loved it. Thank you Jacqui.

We had first class communication from Jacqui before, during and after our stay. The property was absolutely lovely with everything provided that we could hope for. Beautiful lounge and kitchen, lovely bathroom and spotless throughout. Wholly recommended.

"Oh we do like to be beside the Donkeys"
Couldn't have wished for a better place to say! Peaceful, clean, literally home from home. Owners paid attention to every detail, including dog feeding and water bowl. There were full instructions for anything mechanical in the property, the beds and bedding were top notch and decor was cleverly thought out too. It's 5 minutes to the Donkey Sanctuary (what a treat), it's impossible to stay in the property and not visit. A car is a must to visit all the places and eateries the Owners have recommended, the list is comprehensive suggesting places for every budget. All in all any visitor won't be disappointed!

A lovely break
The property was clean, had everything you needed and had plenty of space.
Weston Mouth beach is lovely and very quiet and peaceful, it’s a really steep climb back up but it’s worth it for the peaceful beach.
The Donkey Sanctuary is lovely and has lots of lovely walks too.
Lots to do in the area without having to drive too far.
Garry and Jacqui were great at communicating and very friendly.
We had a lovely break and feel relaxed and refreshed

Fabulous homely and bright. Great location with lots to do in the area.
We had a lovely stay in this lodge. It had such a lovely homely feel with all the owners personal touches and beautiful bright skylight. It is one of the best holiday homes we have stayed at with everything you could possibly need to make our stay comfortable.
The Jacqui sent us a fantastic information pack to help us organise our holiday and even more great info in the lodge on everything you would possibly need know about the area and lodge to make our stay brilliant.
Our dogs loved the Grassy large area to run around and chill. Very private plot with great aspect. We would love to come back.
Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful holiday home and making so perfect with all the hard work you have put in with the info and special touch’s we really appreciate Thanks Cheryl and Angelo x

Perfect holiday home that ticked all the boxes.
This holiday home had so many added little touches that made it feel like home from home. It has really been thought about with the little things like candles in the bathroom to dog shampoo, torches and a long line. The place was modern and clean and I could of happily moved in!
You couldn't ask for more with the location. We didn't need the car at all and wandered from village to village via the coastal path which gave us beautiful beaches and stunning views. Jacqui was the perfect host who I felt I could contact with any query that I had. We will be coming back.

This is a first class property which caters for your every need in a superb location
From start to finish this was an excellent experience, the owners are good at all stages with communication and information, we lacked for nothing. The cottage really is home from home the decor and furnishings are well thought out and good quality with plenty of finishing touches along with every piece of crockery, pan, utensil or glass you will ever need, what a pleasure. The patio gets the sun from sunrise to sunset so coffee in the morning at 7am and sundowners much later alongside your bbq. The surrounding countryside is outstanding but not for the faint hearted, be warned, if you don’t like walking up and down steep hills then take the car but you will miss out on beauties such as the Weston Gap, only accessible on foot, which would be a shame as it is a stunning beach. Beer village is also a must, we got there at 9am on the bank holiday Monday and it was already awake but plenty of parking still to be had. The cafes and shops cater for most needs and if you need cash the post office does withdrawals via a debit card machine. Branscombe Beach is walkable from the cottage about 7 mile round trip, lovely setting, plenty of benches and a good cafe with food, ice cream, cold drinks and beers. If you want to take a bus you need to plan well as they are few and far between. We cycled to Sidmouth down a lot of incredibly steep hills and returned via The Byes cycle path to Sidford and then walked most of the hill up the B3052. So lots of exercise to be had and we found the whole experience incredibly enjoyable and entertaining. For shopping Waitrose is good and for that forgotten bottle of wine or water the Spar in Sidford is a slightly closer option. We would definitely go again.

It was a lovely property, furnished to a high standard with everything you would need - and more.
Jacqui and Garry provided us with lots of helpful information on all aspects of our stay; activities, walks, places to eat, etc., they also left a welcome pack which included a bottle of wine. The bungalow is located next to the Donkey Sanctuary and we found it to be a good central spot to get to the places in we wanted to visit. We also appreciated the text Jacqui sent to check we had everything we needed. We had a wonderful, relaxing holiday and would highly recommend this great accommodation.

Great location and beautiful inside, the perfect place to relax and unwind
Kokopelli is located right next to the donkey sanctuary and a small walk (2k and quite steep) down to a lovely secluded beach. We ran down and back up each morning before starting the day. The donkey sanctuary is a great place for children of all ages who like animals (my girls are 13 and 15) and there is a wonderful maze which we spent quite a lot of time getting lost in. A small drive to Sidmouth for days on the beach and paddle boarding etc. The park on which Kokopelli is located is quiet and we had nice day in the surrounding grass area playing games. Inside it is well laid out, nicely decorated and perfect for a family or couple with good quality utensils for self catering and plenty of board games to play in the evening. We had a lovely time and will certainly come back.

Well presented toddler and dog friendly property in a convenient location
Firstly the communication with the owners was great. The property itself is part of a small 'holiday village' next to the donkey sanctuary. However, don't let this put you off! We may as well have been on our own their. It was modern and brilliantly presented and the surroundings are toddler and dog friendly (of which we have both). There is plenty to do in the surrounding area and it made a great central location for a lovely family break. We would definitely return.

Extremely comfortable and well equipped cottage in quiet and peaceful surroundings
We enjoyed a relaxing week in this superb holiday cottage. It is ideally situated with many places of interest within easy reach. There are many local walks and lots of good places to eat and drink.
The cottage is a home from home, is bright and clean, and equipped with everything you could wish for.
The owners Gary and Jacqui were very helpful and were easily contactable if required.
The only problem was the intermittent mobile signal and the lack of wifi connection. However, we understand from the owners that this is shortly to be addressed.
We would thoroughly recommend the cottage to everyone and hope to return again sometime in the future.

Amazing cottage, lovely owners and great location!!
We stayed at Kokopelli Cottage for a week as our honeymoon at the end of March 2017 and had an absolutely fantastic time. Thank you to Jacqui and Garry for letting us stay in your wonderful cottage and for the lovely card, chocolates and prosecco waiting for us on arrival, that was a really lovely touch to start our honeymoon! Our dogs Flossie and Alfie both loved it and felt very at home. The entire cottage is furnished to an extremely high standard and is very clean and fresh. No mold or signs of wear and tear, Jacqui and Garry do a very good job of maintaining the cottage to a very high standard. We were given some lovely recommendations of places to eat and nearby dog friendly walks to go on which was really great. We didn't need anything whilst we were there but we knew that Jacqui and Garry would have easily been contactable by phone if there had been any problems. We've stayed in a number of properties around the area and elsewhere and compared, this really surpassed our expectations.
The donkey sanctury is a 3-4 minute stroll from the door of the cottage and Weston Mouth beach can be reached by a 20-30 minute walk on a dog friendly footpath from the Donkey Sanctury through fields with gorgeous views.
The cottage is situated with other cottages in a large open field but is located in the far corner making the property one of the most private in the park - great for children and quiet enough for dogs to play outside. Whilst we were there, free wifi internet access across the park wasn't working and doesn't reach the cottage anyway. Mobile 3G/4G services on Three, Vodafone and EE were almost non-existant inside the cottage. Outside the cottage there is limited 4G service on EE and Vodafone but walking 2-3 minutes towards the entrance of the park, we were able to get full 4G on EE and Vodafone. This wasn't a problem for us but if planning to be able to do any work from the cottage is important, it may be a struggle to do this.
We cannot recommend staying here highly enough so thank you again Garry and Jacqui and we hope to be in contact soon and return to Kokopelli in the very near future.

A 5* home from home not to be missed!
Kokopelli is a beautiful, well equipped and very clean cottage. It is in an idyllic setting and a great base to explore the Sidmouth coastal areas. All contact with the owners from the initial booking to our return have been first class. The bottle of wine on arrival was a lovely welcoming touch. We can't wait to return ......
