“The only thing with this cottage is that we felt that you could not walk safe on the surrounding roads .”

Cottage was excellent and ticked all the boxes . Nice to be on a small holding and gain some knowledge of rural life .

“Cottage met all our expectations and we and our dog Harvey were made very welcome - great place to relax and recharge batteries - the exercise field for dogs is a real bonus.”

- Mrs Perry, October 2017
“Excellent accommodation and the owners are wonderful.”

- Mr Lloyd, March 2017
“This is the place for anyone wanting a quiet, stressfree holiday.”

There are 5 cottages on the farm, and if they are all as well organised and supplied as ours was, then there is nothing you could need. You will, however, need some transport (even if it's only bikes) as the nearest village (and therefore shop) is 2 mile away, and the bigger centre of Bude is 8 miles. It is an unusual situation as dogs are welcomed, but children aren't!! But that didn't affect us as we have neither. And the owners (who live on site) are very welcoming and friendly. Brilliant holiday, thank you!!

“The Best SIX Holiday rentals in North Devon”

Darren and Lesley are the most welcoming couple we have ever met in all the many years in cottaging in the West Country,the have six cottages on site all are to the highest specification. The welcome you get from Lesley is fantastic,in which she makes sure you are aquainted with every part of the cottage upon your arrival,nothing is left to chance. The big pluses for your stay at any of the cottages are as follows;- Peace and quiet. At one with a Farm life with Chickens,Lambs & Alpacas. Only six miles to Bude's Sandy Dog Friendly Beach An honesty box for Bacon, meat & eggs shop for the little emergency on site And a good meal can be had at the Bradworthy Arms 2 miles away. Don't forget to take a walk around the Tamar Lakes,or a Bike ride or numerous water sports,that are available.

“BEST KEPT SECRET”

We have just left Honey Bee Cottage and we feel bereft.We have had such a wonderful time,this is the first holiday we can say we have totally relaxed and enjoyed a holiday.Immaculate and comfy the cottage was idyllic. Lesley and Darren were wonderful and very helpful and full of fun.Our fab place was Widemouth Bay just pass Bude,our dog enjoyed playing in the sea as did we.If you want a wonderful holiday then book now it will be the best decision you will ever make.Bude was very pretty and we also went to Ilfracombe which was nice and felt like you were stepping back in time. There are other cottages on site all different but equally beautiful. As you can see we have had a great time and have booked already for next year..

“comfortable and relaxing home from home”

spacious cottage with sufficient equipment to be able to self cater or not. on site owners helpful and friendly. tour of the animals a delight. quiet and peaceful location. local village of Bradworthy has a good lady butcher, friendly pub/hotel and a variety of other shops including a helpful vet practice. Bude a little shabby and tired. local beaches clean, good for energetic dogs. just be aware large cobble-like stones to cross first. not good for elderly, arthritic dogs. all in all great holiday.
