“Thoroughly enjoyed our week.”

The cottage and the surrounding area all exceeded our expectations - and the local pub was excellent! The owners of the property and everyone else we met in the village were very friendly and hospitable. We are already planning when we might be able to come again!

A decent pub in the village less than 2minutes away with plenty of choices in both food and drink. The cottage is located in a very picturesque and peaceful locations with views across the bay. Well worth a visit.

“Great cottage nice location”

On arrival the tea and Scones sat on the table, we was greeted by the owner who lives next door, the kitchen was great with a modern looking old fashion stove that was simply fantastic, the sitting room was nice with a old fashion log fire, next to the kitchen was a down stairs toilet and a large shower and separate bath, the two bedrooms where large and the beds very comfortable, the small upstairs toilet was very small and not used. Local super markets about a mile away, and the location was central to may attractions. Car parking was a little tight as the village has narrow roads.

“A great holiday in a dream cottage in an excellent location”

The warmest of welcomes from the owner who made us feel at home immediately. The cottage contains everything and more for a perfect break. Comfortable bed and extremely well equipped kitchen and bathroom. A log burner in the lounge made for a very cosy end to each day. Best of all was the fact that pub was two minutes walk away, where a wide selection of real ales was available and the food is of a high standard and you are welcomed as a villager not an outsider visiting.

“Perfect”

The cottage was very clean and comfortable, felt like home from home. Incredibly quite location and very friendly villagers. Perfect location for Rosemoor, Dartington glass and a visit to Hartland abbey Bay, superb. Great walks along the Tarka Trail. Whatever you are interested in, this is a perfect spot.

“Cosy Cottage - Superb Location”

We wanted a traditional cottage (not a bungalow masquerading) in a real village, and we got it. Fantastic. Scones with Devonshire clotted cream on arrival. We have two young ones (2 & 6) so the location was perfect. The 'amazing' Big Sheep is just around the corner. A great bike ride along the 'Otter Trail', great beaches nearby and the beautiful Woolacoombe beach just up the road (take the hill road and drop down through the dunes to escape the masses). Clovelly is nearby too and still truly beautiful.
