Guests say
Heron Cottage in Devon offers a picturesque setting with a private beach and farm animals, ideal for families and nature lovers. Guests appreciate the clean, cosy cottages and the friendly owners, though some noted issues with privacy, maintenance, and the need for better guest communication. The location is praised for its beauty and tranquillity, with many enjoying the coastal walks and animal interactions.
Most guests found the cottages clean and well-presented, with only a few remarks about average cleanliness and the need for attention to decor. The positive comments suggest a generally high standard of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views, private beach access, and proximity to walking trails. The scenic North Devon coast adds to the charm, making it a highlight for many guests.
Guests found the cottages comfortable, with cosy interiors and comfortable beds. However, some noted issues with cramped spaces and the inconvenience of a downstairs bathroom for those with mobility issues.
While the renovated cottages and farm experience are appreciated, there are mixed reviews about the facilities. Complaints about plumbing issues, poor TV quality, and lack of individual gardens suggest room for improvement. As there are no specific references to other facilities, a precise score cannot be given.
The welcome cream tea mentioned by a guest indicates a level of thoughtfulness. However, as this is not consistently referenced, it's clear that such gestures are appreciated but not guaranteed for every stay.

The cottages are really comfortable, well maintained and with everything you need and the access to the private beach and North Devon coastal path is great. Scenery is stunning and it's a perfect place to escape to and relax. The owners at the main farm were very friendly and I have already recommended to friends and family
