Again we had a fantastic experience with Sykes . We stayed in a lovely little converted old granary on a small holding with rare breed sheep, chickens & Apacas . Lesley & Darren are lovely hosts , so friendly & helpful . Enclosed garden for our dog & also private enclosed field for dog to run around in . So beautiful & peaceful , would definately recommend & will be returning in the very near future .

“This is the place for anyone ...”

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!!

“Honey bee cottage is home from ...”

Honey bee cottage is home from home. Excellent base to explore Devon and Cornwall. Upon entering the property you are greeted by Lesley with a very warm smile and welcome. Lesley walks you round the cottage explaining everthing one would need to know about the cottage and your visit. What a difference this makes to your stay. She is always on call if you need her and always has a lovely warm smile for you. The field at the top of the property for letting your dog off for a run is a fantastic idea. These cottages are so peaceful and idyllic for a great break. Would I recommend staying here YES I would great place to recharge your batteries. Thank you Lesley and Darren.

A comfortable and well equipped cottage. The owners were friendly and very helpful. The enclosed dog walking field was useful as we have an aged Greyhound and we could let her off the lead. All round excellent!

“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.
