Lovely Bungalow in a fabulous spot, we had a great week, the bungalow is beautiful and so well equipped, in fact it is probably the best equipped holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in. We enjoyed the outside space, as did our two cockapoos. We visited the donkey sanctuary daily and it is a beautiful place to visit. We would love to visit again in the future. If I had to find a negative it would be that there is nowhere within walking distance to eat in the evenings but plenty of places within a short drive.

Very homely and nicely furnished bungalow with absolutely everything you could possibly need! Beautifully clean and tidy in a quiet setting close to the popular Donkey Sanctuary and Sidmouth with all its attractions. We stayed here for Sidmouth Folk week and found it easy to get into Sidmouth which is only a short drive away. We would definitely recommend staying here, owner Jacqu was so helpful with great communication throughout the booking and where we stayed.

Kokopelli cannot be beaten for accommodation, cleanliness, location, and service. Initial supplies in terms of tea, coffee, milk, loo paper and cleaning materials are very generous. The owner is very communicative and helpful and the deposit is always returned very promptly. Our stay this year was a wet one, but even umbrellas are supplied! Have stayed here before and will certainly visit again.

The booking process was made so easy and accessible.Jacqui is very helpful and informative and made the whole process simple. The cottage is in a quiet location . Everything in the cottage is of good quality and comfortable. It’s definitely a home from home. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook at the cottage. The beds are super comfy, as is the sofa. The place is warm with good heating. And we had plenty of hot water. Comfy sofas for the family evenings in. Every little thing was thought of, even down to a needle and cotton.! Games, puzzles, books and dads, just not enough time to enjoy it all. Lovely outside space for the dog and children. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. We will see you again!

We have just returned from a wonderful few days away. The cottage is just minutes away from the donkey sanctuary, which is very dog friendly. The cottage has everything that you need and is very clean and comfortable, especially the bed that was really comfortable. The host kept in contact with us from booking to stay .

5/5
A Much Needed Quiet Retreat
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.

Another wonderful week spent in this delightful holiday cottage - where everything is thought of. When we first arrived our grandson shouted, ‘Yay! We’ve arrived at our donkey home.’ Even the dogs started to get excited as we turned into the holiday park. Lots of fabulous walks, beautiful beaches and superb places to eat and/or drink. We absolutely love Sidmouth and it’s surrounding area, not forgetting the donkey sanctuary where we breakfasted most days. We highly recommend Kokopelli holiday cottage; truly a home from home. Thank you Jacqui and Garry ??

Just stayed at this delightful dog friendly cottage in Devon. This cottage is decorated to a high standard and is very clean. The property has everything you could possibly need. Two double bedrooms ,one king-size bed, one twin plenty of wardrobes. A very tastful functional bathroom with both a walk in shower ,separate bath and also heated towel rail. The kitchen has fridge cooker washer/dryer dish washer mircowave, toaster slow cooker ,coffee machine and George forman grill. Loads of pots and pans. Everything needed for a family including a large dining table seating 6. The living area has two large sofa s,TV with Netflix and WiFi. There are lots of books, video and games in the cottage. Outside is a lovely table and chairs bbq and sun lounges if required. The cottage is set in a very picturesque and peaceful area by the side of a donkey sanctuary which is great place to spend the day. The location is fantastic for walking across the countryside and coastal areas. There are lots of dog friendly places to visit and most pubs and restaurants welcome you and your four legged friends. I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay the hosts Jacqui and Garry were excellent in providing us with good communication and very useful information on every aspect of our surrounding area and the cottage itself.

The location is 2nd to none-we love this area so much and despite the time of year we have done some fabulous walks.
The donkey sanctuary is amazing with a lovely cafe/restaurant .
Connot thank Jacqui and Garry enough.
We will be back

We have enjoyed a lovely week in Kokopelli.
Of the many holidaycottages where we have stayed this is up there with the best. It is comfortable and so well appointed that we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
The welcome pack and guests comments help in exploring the area.
Thank you garry and Jacqui.

An amazing little gem of a cottage. Beautifully appointed. We had a lovely weekend break, the weather was amazing enabling us to sit on the patio outside. Visited the Donkey Sanctuary a 5 minute walk away. Would love to return in the future, would highly recommend Kokopelli.

I can’t recommend this property more. We stay in a lot of properties across England and Wales and this is up there with one of our favourites. The amount of detail in information sent prior to our stay was so helpful. Such fantastic communication with Jacqui throughout. The cottage is a 30 minute walk to the gorgeous village of Sidford with lovely country pubs. We drove to (narrow road) Branscombe and had one of the best roast dinners we’ve had out yet - Mason Arms…Try and go on a nice day as the outdoor dining is nicer than in. We loved Lyme Regis with its beautiful front and gorgeous little eating and drinking options overlooking the sea. I couldn’t fault the cottage, everything had been considered. I can assure you after a day visiting Devon, there is nothing more relaxing than a cold glass of wine on the super comfy sofa looking out to the beautiful surroundings. A must book!

Another wonderful week
Left on Jul 25, 2021 for a stay in Jul 2021
This was our second visit to this wonderful place. It should have been last year but for obvious reasons it didn’t happen. It was well worth the wait though as just as lovely as the first visit. The property has everything you may need and is so peaceful and relaxing. The weather was kind towards the end of the week so we were able to make use of some very comfy garden furniture and make the most of the peace and quiet. The donkey sanctuary is a must whilst staying as it is literally down the road and there are many places close by including Seaton, Beer and Lyme Regis to name but a few. The owners are friendly and helpful and they, like the bungalow, are truly dog friendly. Cannot wait for our next visit!

Our second stayat this nlovely bungalow and just as enjoyable as the first!
Typical British weather with flash floods at the beginning of the week and 25 degrees heatwave at the end but Sidmouth and the Donkey sanctuary as wonderful as ever.
Lots of walks and sight seeing and too many cream teas!
Thanks for everything and hope to see you next year.
