  This is a lovely cottage and we had a wonderful week!

  We had everything we needed here and it felt like home, but with a thatched roof. It's nicely furnished and the double bed was comfy. We even spent time in the pretty garden opposite the cottage, reading and having refreshments after going on our many walks in the area and note, there are lots of options. As advertised, there is a parking space, but be warned it is a challenge in a larger car as the entrance is snug. We reversed in, it was easier. There is a bed and accessories for a dog, so they're very welcome in the cottage. Please note that there is no wardrobe in the double bedroom, but there is a recess in the bathroom for hanging up clothes and that was fine. We recommend The Grove Inn which is only a two minute walk away. The hosts are very friendly, they've good local ales on tap and the food was terrific. It's a very popular pub, so make sure that you book a table! All-in-all, it's a cosy place to stay and we would love to revisit. Hopefully, we may even get to see a wild otter or Kingfisher next time!?!

  Lovely and cozy house perfect for a couple or group of 4 .

  Me and my friends wanted to go away for a short time to North Devon as it was our last holiday together before University. The house is located in a stunning area surrounded by nature .It was perfect for going on walks but it’s far from town centres, shops , services etc. There are a few pubs nearby which are small drives away but we decided to walk it (20-30 mins). Apart from having troubles with starting the oven on the first day, the house was a perfect place to come back to after going out everyday.It had very comfortable beds ,pretty views from outside , it was clean and perfect size for us.It was also a good and affordable price too ! Overall , our 4 night stay couldn’t have been better.

  The property was lovely, comfortable beds , good bath & shower , nicely set out kitchen & breakfast area and snug lounge.

  A pleasant garden but cut off by the shared driveway, not a major issue- due to the cold evenings didn’t really get used. Pleasant and friendly neighbourhood with a pub at a short walk, which was great for food or a drink. Not much else to the hamlet, nearest shops about 5 miles away.. however the owner had stocked up with essentials so we didn’t have to travel through the very narrow country lanes too much to get into the town. Would recommend only two people staying to be comfortable… more might feel a little overcrowded and fight for the one bathroom facilities!

  A lovely peaceful cottage with everything thoughtfully provided.

  We didn't need the heating as the cottage was warm and light which meant if there was any sun the warmth was enough. It is remote but a Lidl nearby and a well stocked shop attached to the garage just up the road. Probably advisable to bring essentials with like bread and milk with you although the village comunity shop opens each day if you run out. If you need to switch off and imurse your self in nature it's ideal.

  Parking was very tight by the house and not for those with a large car.

  The road to the house was steep and single track. Nether of these were mentioned. Oven didn't work and grill was poor. Radiators didn't heat up fully despite being turned up to dry washing. A lamp would have been nice in the living room for more subtle lighting. The property was immaculate, comfortable and well equipped.
