“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 .

“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.

Brexworthy Farm Cottages

Bradworthy 2.5 miles, Bude 7 miles. These five cosy, character cottages are in an attractive courtyard setting on a working smallholding near the picturesque village of Bradworthy. Lying on grassy meadow uplands overlooking the beautiful 81 acre Upper Tamar Lake, these Devon cottages offer a peaceful retreat for couples amidst rolling countryside, with the chance to sample Devon farming life, as the owners keep rare breeds of sheep, alpacas and free range chickens, plus guests have the opportunity to see the new born lambs in February on request. These Devon cottages have been beautifully restored from old farm buildings and are furnished in a traditional, rustic style to provide charming holiday homes with plenty of character. Positioned around the farmhouse, each Devon cottage has its own garden area and use of a communal courtyard garden full of flowers and shrubs. From here there is access to a dog walking field and plenty of countryside walks with wonderful views of the lake. The local village of Bradworthy has plenty of interesting small grocery shops and pubs set around the traditional village square. The dramatic North Cornwall coastline is only 10 minutes in the car, where there are stunning cliff-top walks along the South West Coast Path, some pretty fishing villages to explore such as Clovelly and Appledore and long sandy, dog-friendly beaches in the Bude area, with Bude itself offering great beaches, superb surfing and a variety of amenities.

Off the beaten track and surrounded by the lush green pastures of North Devon, it provides the perfect base for a truly relaxing holiday in an area with several top class visitor attractions.
