"This was a late replacement for another cottage which became unavailable at the last minute."
The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable. The village pub was welcoming & the food was excellent. The village itself is located close to Bideford and Barnstaple.

There are some interesting places to visit even in November.The cottage is very cozy although the stairs are a bit steep and wouldn' suit everyone. It will be kept on our list for possible future visits.

"We had a lovely holiday in Elm Cottage."
It was very cosy , which was very important as the weather was not too great. The wood burner was so much appreciated
The cottage was very well equipped, clean and comfortable. The owners made sure everything was ready for us
The only thing missing was WiFi. I didn’t think to ask as I wrongly assumed everyone had it . It didn’t spoil our time there at all but it would have been useful

"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.
