Guests say
Home Farm Cottage in Devon is consistently praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and beautiful garden. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, the conservatory, and the property's peaceful location. The proximity to local amenities, pubs, and scenic walks, including the Tarka Trail, adds to its charm. The cottage is also noted for being dog-friendly with secure gardens and nearby walking areas.
Guests frequently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as 'clean and comfortable' and 'clean on arrival', indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the cottage.
The location is highly regarded for its convenience, with easy access to pubs, shops, and scenic walks. Its proximity to the estuary, Tarka Trail, and beaches like Instow and Woolacombe Bay is a highlight for guests.
The cottage is repeatedly described as comfortable, with a 'home from home' feel. The conservatory and garden are particular comforts, although one mention of a less comfortable single bed slightly impacts the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and additional amenities like Netflix and Prime Video. However, a temperamental hob and an issue with a shower suggest some room for improvement in maintenance.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would fall under 'thoughtfulness'. Therefore, this score cannot be provided.
About this property
Nestled within the historic village of Fremington in the picturesque
county of Devon, Home Farm Cottage is a charming three-bedroom property that offers an idyllic escape. Located just a leisurely stroll away from beautiful Fremington Quay with access to the South West Coast path and the renowned Tarka Trail, the longest paved cycle path in the UK, this cottage provides the perfect base for your Devonshire getaway. Surrounded by a wealth of amenities, nature reserves, and
family-friendly attractions, Home Farm Cottage accommodates up to five guests and welcomes one well-behaved dog. Just a two-minute walk from the cottage, you'll find a spacious field and wooded areas, ideal for leisurely dog-walks or morning strolls.

Fremington is a major community in North Devonshire, situated between Yelland and Barnstaple. The community is noted for its quay, a historic port for importing and exporting commodities, as well as its location near the River Taw. It also has a nature reserve, public parks, and links to the Southwest Coastal Path. Han Court and The Fox are two popular local restaurants, and the neighbouring Co-op can be used to stock up on basics. The lively town of Bideford, which is close to Fremington, has additional attractions such as The Ultimate Adventure Centre and the Bideford Railway Heritage Centre. Barnstaple, with its Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon, Barnstaple Pannier Market, and a variety of local cafés and bars, is also a short car ride away.

Clean on arrival. Comfortable traditional cottage with lovely gardens and a sunny conservatory. Great for dogs with Instow beach 5 minute's drive and a field only 5 minute's walk down footpath from cottage. Everything you need for self catering stay. Our son is stationed at Chivoner so will be back again sometime soon.

Well furnished with everything you need for a self catering holiday. The conservatory is a real bonus and the cottage in general is nicer in practice than the pictures. Clean and welcoming on arrival. Great location to explore North Devon. Ideal for our small dog with walks available directly from the cottage down a shot path into open field with nice views and dog friendly instow beach just a short drive away. Shops , pubs and chippy all within walking distance. Looking to go again later in the year.
