We really appreciated the care and attention in all areas of the cottage. The accommodation was brilliantly prepared and every household piece of equipment was ready to hand.Thoughtful attention had been given to needs of animals too. Our dogs loved the safe garden space and the farm walks.Bradworthy has a great local pub with super food.Beaches are 25 minutes away. Country roads are a challenge but it makes for a restful break.
