Perfect for us and our dog. The location is very quiet but it's handy for South Molton and the rest of mid Devon. We'd be very happy to return.

Marc and Cath were really keen to welcome us and were extremely friendly and genuine, with nothing being too much trouble. The cottage was spotlessly clean and comfortable and in an excellent location for touring North Devon villages and the countryside within Exmoor National Park. Wish we had longer as the week flew by so quickly. We hope to return at some point in the future. Many Thanks.

The owners Cath and Mark were great hosts and made us very welcome. The cottage was as described i.e. very peaceful - with local amenities a very short drive away. Facilities inside were great and we had all we needed - including a very indulgent 'welcome pack' with home-made scones (an unexpected bonus that went down really well). The weather sadly let us down, but the cottage was so cosy and well stocked it didn't really matter. Thank you for a lovely few days!
