“A lovely welcome from the owners - ...”

A lovely welcome from the owners - fresh scones and cream and fresh flowers, a lovely touch. The owners checked that everything was OK for us and made sure we were comfortable and informed about the local activities. The kitchen was well equipped (which can often be lacking in a holiday cottage). Would have liked a dishwasher but it would be impractical here. The stairs are extremely steep but that is stated in the brochure. Parking could be an issue as the street is very narrow (it is Devon!) and there is a gravel standing next to the property for parking, but the cottage at the rear has pedestrian access. Other residents parked opposite and this made it tricky to reverse onto the gravel area (and I only have a small car). The cottage is well placed for walking and it is an easy walk into Instow on the Tarka Trail. The highlight of our stay was a visit to RHS Rosemoor where we had a really lovely Sunday carvery for lunch.

“A lovely cottage in a lovely ...”

A lovely cottage in a lovely village with welcoming owners. It was well equipped and well furnished with delightful artwork by the owner covering the walls which was a nice touch, spent some time looking and admiring the work. A very handy property for the local pub which was a 2 minute walk.

The cottage offered us everything for which we could wish. It was warm and comfortable when it poured with rain but well situated when we wanted to explore.

“It was a lovely quiet village and ...”

It was a lovely quiet village and the cottage was very homely and comfortable. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The beds were very comfortable and it was lovely to light the log burner in the evenings. An all round excellent holiday.

“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.
