Laundry Cottage

Laundry cottage is a fantastic house, a well loved family home full of interesting things.

It is in a beautiful country setting. We all loved it. I would recommend it for a group or large family.

Lovely place for a long weekend get away for our group of 7 old friends on our annual weekend away.

This quirky cottage is obviously a much loved family home and is very well equipped and cared for. It was a privilege to stay there and use the owners eclectic collection of china ware and utensils. The only slight drawback for us was that one person slept alone in the main house while the others were in the charming annexe. Not for anyone of a nervous disposition but she was pleased to have the sumptuous main bedroom to herself. We loved being able to walk to Clovelly via the cliff path or the gardens. The setting of the cottage is a magical other world.

Wonderful unique cottage, warm, comfortable and very well equipped.

Lovely, secluded location with great walks from the door. Would love to come back to see the garden in the spring

This was a really delightful cottage which was clearly loved and cherished by the owners.

The cottage was full of interesting books and objects and we thought it very trusting of the owners to allow us to stay there. Everything worked really well and we felt welcomed: there was a vase of sweet peas on one of the tables. We felt that we would like to know more about the family whose books and photos and paintings were all around us! But that, perhaps, was just being nosy! We thought that we were lucky to be staying in a very special place that meant a lot to those who had lived there, and to those who owned it. One suggestion about the description: it is not clear that this is a cottage on a large estate, so some way off the main road and not close to shops etc. We liked that, but we didn't expect it!

What a beautiful cottage, the location is stunning, all the rooms are comfortable and well presented, and some lovely art work and a splendid array of books, having the owners personal items in the house made it feel welcoming not like other holiday homes which can feel bland and sterile in comparison.

The only suggestion I would have is that it would of been nice to have a more adequate outdoor seating given the number of guests the property can accommodate, and a more usable washing line maybe.

What a truly wonderful cottage.

We have just spent two idyllic weeks living in the most wonderfully loved historic family home, in the most beautifully secluded setting just a stones throw from Clovelly. The house itself was perfect for our needs, having a separate self contained Annex, just a couple of steps from the main house, where family members stayed and had their own privacy and all facilities they could need. The main house is absolutely charming, a real piece of history being the original laundry for the estate. It is filled with family memories which gave us a real feel for its past. The Gardens are beautiful and very peaceful. Clovelly itself is lovely of course and only a relatively short walk through the Clovelly gardens down a wooded path. We also walked straight out of the cottage and down to the cliff path and along the coast. You can also walk left out through the farm and follow the footpaths to a lovely farm that serves a great afternoon tea. So much to see and do in the area with beautiful beaches at Bude, Instow, Duckpool, etc. RHS Rosemoor was a lovely day out and dog friendly now on certain days, and we also went to a National Trust property and had a spa day in Bude. We will definitely be back, so much more to see and such a lovely tranquil piece of history to have as a base. Thank you owners for sharing with us.

We had a wonderful week in Laundry Cottage and absolutely loved the location.

We felt we were staying in a secret Fairy Glen! It was private with the most beautiful gardens but actually not far from other buildings and gardens on the Clovelly Estate. We had a wonderful array of birds on the bird feeder every day and a young hare came close to the sitting room window one evening. The cottage had everything we needed and there was plenty of space for our group of five adults. The beds were comfortable and the facilities in the annexe were excellent. It was a bonus having two sitting rooms and the view from every window was perfect. We would love to return to Laundry Cottage in the future. Thank you to the owners for sharing their parent’s house with us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Laundry Cottage & will certainly book again.

The setting & garden was perfect & the house is very homely with lots of books & art work, there has been a lot of personal family items left in-situ by the owners which didn't distract, not for us anyway. We stayed in the main part & would have preferred a shower but it wasn't a problem. The hot water was very very hot, much too hot!

Laundry Cottage is a gem!

This is the most well equipped and delightful home.Truly a very well loved family home as opposed to just a holiday let.It is full of art and antiques and period pieces. Most comfortable beds with sumptuous linen. Well appointed bathrooms, immaculately clean too. Two sitting rooms with open fires and the most super kitchen with a dresser full of a family collection of china. Nothing missing at all. The gardens are a delight to walk through. The main house is spacious and full of interest. The annex very comfortable indeed with two modern bathrooms. The home is situated on the Clovelly estate and has easy walking access to Clovelly village,coastal path and woodland walks. An absolute joy and privilege to have stayed here and the trust that the owners have in their guests is remarkable and appreciated. Thank you so much for a wonderful few days. (Only one very small criticism is that it would be great if possible to have internet access in the annex too) Would return again in a heartbeat!

This is by far the best holiday cottage we stayed at in the UK.

The photos don't do it justice. The cottage and the annex both have so much character! We really enjoyed all the artwork and furniture and we felt like we were transported back in time. What a trust by the owners. Not everyone would leave so many beloved personal items in a holiday let. This makes the place even more special. Everything was spotlessly clean, comfortable beds with luxurious covers. Very spacious! Perfect location! Nice walk through the woods to the local beach and the nearby village of Clovelly. We had a perfect stay and hope to return one day.

We had a wonderful few days .

The house is beautiful and location perfect. However as we were there over new year we missed champagne flutes. We also thought that as it was a holiday rental there were too many personal objects left in the house with very little empty storage space for guests. This did not effect our stay however and we had a fabulous time but might be worth thinking about for future rentals.
