  • "A delightful find top marks for every aspect of our holiday."

    This cottage lived up to our expectations and beyond. From the excellent welcome pack to the the friendly hosts I cannot recommend this place enough. The grounds were a joy to walk well kept but allowed to grow to support wild life in some areas. The cottage was very comfortable spotlessly clean and provided everything we needed even down to treats for Hector !

  • "From the start it made all the difference to enter a wonderfully clean property with an amazing welcome pack of bread, jam, scones, milk, eggs and more and also some treats for Fern our dog."

    Fantastic location to go out and explore North Devon as well with a local Sainsburys (open til 8 weekdays) if you needed anything else. Cath and Mark popped over initially to say hi and bye when we left, fantastic property, only problem if it was a problem was we didn’t discover the WiFi til the last night as you have to press the on button on the WiFi adaptor and hold it fir a few seconds, but games there to play if you want (don’t go the butterfly jigsaw if there fir a few days unless you are an expert)
