The cottage was very well presented and very clean. Communication with the host was exceptional along with a web app that provided full information on the property and the local area. We were very comfortable and happy and would recommend the cottage.

Bumble Cottage

Lovely neat little cottage. Very clean. Checking in instruction and directions to the cottage and parking very clear and easy to follow. Lovely to arrive to a welcome basket and nice to have tea, coffee and sugar and other basics in the cupboard . Made full use of the little garden with lovely weather . Highly recommend a visit

Extremely enjoyable stay in Combe Martin quaint cottage

A particularly quaint cottage of character, well managed and maintained, providing for all our needs. It was a great pleasure to stay here, also spending some enjoyable evenings in around the character fireplace in the cosy lounge. Ideal central location for us to explore North Devon's coastal towns and Exmoor's national park. On arrival we found the whole cottage meticulously clean, with everything in its place, and obviously the owner has gone to great lengths to ensure this for his guests. Would most definitely return at some point.

Happy holiday

We have had a wonderful week here. Communication with Jason from start to finish has been excellent! The digital guide was really handy and just full of information about the area. The cottage is beautiful and has everything you need. We was lucky with the weather so a lighter duvet or fan would have been nice. The locals are very friendly. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend bumble cottage, we would definitely go back. Thank you for a lovely holiday

A lovely cottage in Coombe Martin

Jason the owner is very helpful he will go the extra mile to make sure his visitors are happy. The property was just perfect,the only problem was ours we are all in our seventies which made the steep back garden a bit awkward to use, and Jason told us about it before we went and he phoned us while we were there to see how it was, you could not want for anything more that’s in the cottage we enjoyed our stay

Very comfortable stay

We stayed one week at Bumble cottage for our first trip to a north Devon. Jason couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. The cottage is in a lovely location in Combe Martin and super cozy. We had everything we needed. Didn’t get to enjoy the garden because the weather gods weren’t on our side. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you need although the gas oven was terrifying …. but that’s just me! The place was spotless, great shower, very comfortable bed and I enjoyed my morning coffee in bed looking out at the hillside. Combe Martin is well located for Exmoor National Park (which we loved), SW cost walks (from the car park at the harbour) and of course the wonderful beaches. The only drawback is there aren’t many options for eating out in the evening and the quality isn’t great. We tended to eat out at lunch time and then ate a light supper in the evening at home. Thanks again to Jason for checking in on us, going above and beyond with a personal email with recommendations - we really appreciated it. We absolutely recommend Bumble Cottage!

A comfortable, well-equipped cottage in a good location

The cottage is very cosy, tucked away just off the main road. It is very comfortable, perfect to return to after a busy day exploring the area. The terraced garden is a real sun trap so we made the most of it when the weather was good. Combe Martin is a great location, close to Exmoor for lovely walks and not far from the wonderful beach at Woolacombe. Communication with the host worked well and the instructions for arrival and about the property were clear. We had a very enjoyable few days and hope to return - highly recommended.

An excellent stay!

We had an excellent stay at this cottage. It was well equipped and so cosy. It would be helpful if you could give some info on places to park a second car, e.g the car park by the church etc. But we had a great stay and we would definitely stay again! Thankyou
