  We enjoyed our stay at July cottage, despite some cleanliness issues which we have raised with the owner separately. The location in the village is lovely, on a very sweet pedestrianised lane, and the village itself is about 20mins from Saunton, Woolacombe and Ilfracombe, using narrow country roads mostly. The space is well organised and decorated, and we had most things we needed for our stay. It's worth taking extra logs for the fire - we stayed at the end of summer when days were around 18° and the cottage was chilly at night, probably because it has very thick walls, so we needed the heat of the fire. Accessibility notes as someone who has mobility issues with a knee injury - there are steps between the main bedroom and bathroom once you're upstairs. The shower screen opens outwards into the bathroom to allow more space to climb in and out of the bath. A non-slip bath mat is provided. There are a couple of types of cobbles on the wall from the car park to cottage, and the ground is generally uneven. I found these cobbles slippery in wet weather. If you arrive on the dark, make sure you have a torch to walk to the cottage. If you're planning to use the second bedroom as an adult be aware it's a small single bed very low to the ground and isn't particularly comfortable. We would consider returning if assurances were made about the cleanliness issues we've raised.

  The peaceful little cottage was cosy, clean and thoughtfully decorated with some lovely quirky touches. Pretty and comfortable bedrooms. A little dark downstairs, but comfy sofa, log burner and nice little kitchen area with everything you need. Ideal for a couple or family with younger children. Lovely cool seaside colours. No direct access to a garden so dog owners have a short, but safe and quiet, off road walk to the private enclosed garden and the community field beyond. Very quiet village. Friendly pub and well stocked community shop within a few minutes walk. No problem parking. Short drive to amazing beaches.

  We had a beautiful stay at Blackbird Cottage.

  Vinti was lovely, she made sure we had everything we needed and left a fabulous hamper of goodies for our arrival. The cottage is like something out of a novel - it has amazing character and is filled with books and interesting nooks and crannies. In between showers I spent some time sitting in the hammock in the garden sketching the cottage and it was a lovely way to pass some time. Appledore is just up the road, a very pretty town with some cute little shops and galleries. Johns deli/cafe has unbelievable pasties, brownies and croissants. It's a good thing I was only visiting as I'd be the size of a house if I lived anywhere nearby!

  In a great location however the parking issue needs to be a bit clearer I feel.

  When you are staying there are you not considered a resident? I also think that maybe the cottage should supply a parking permit as there was times when finding any parking this week was nearly impossible. It states on the website that you will have to pay in the other car Park which adds up if you did it every day, and the other Park along the beach is only for an hour. Apart from that and there being nowhere to actually dry your clothes (we are travelling) so can’t take them home and do it, the cottage had everything needed, and it’s location is great plus we had the best beach weather.

  An exceptional property with a main asset: its fabulous garden that we enjoyed at its best at this time of year. Trees in blossom, birdsongs, a fantastic view on the surrounding hills, it was just picture perfect ! We just regretted not spending more time marvelling at the setting as we had come to hike in North Devon in the first place. Being blessed with a wonderful weather last week, we would have been perfectly happy just eating out on the terrace and enjoying the view we had on and around the garden.
