  • "We were surprised to find the baking trays covered in foil when removed tins were not in a good state."

    Cord for the shower was to high and all 3 of us struggled to reach it needs to be slightly lower. Only basic amount of crockery which is very unusual. The double bedroom had no ventilation due to there being a french door so in the morning after two people had slept in there it was running with condensation not very good for your health. Beds were comfortable and settees were fine good sized table. Rather of the beaten track but was fine.

  • "We loved our stay at Tarquol cottage."

    It was so peaceful and in such a lovely area. Really convenient for visiting a large area of North Devon and having the nice little town of Great Torrington nearby with a good range of shops and takeaways as well as great dog walks was brilliant. We were met on arrival by Richard, the owner, who was really friendly and cheerful and made us feel welcome from the start. Having big grounds to walk our dog was fantastic and despite the weather being mixed to say the least we walked around the grounds every day. The cottage was very well equipped and the bed was comfortable, the shower was hot and the cottage was cosy. Our only slight gripe was we found the sofas a bit uncomfortable as the backs weren't that high but it's personal taste and others might disagree but we would definitely recommend the cottage to anyone and hopefully we'll stay again in the future.
