Lovely cottage about 10 minutes drive from the sea

Well presented cottage - a little on the small side and it would be a real squash for 4 adults. It was 3 of us and the dog and it was fine for a few days away. The cottage is as described and was well presented, with all the things you would need and excellent wifi. All in all a lovely time away in a really nice part of the country.

Annual holiday 2023

Very nice cottage and facilities inc tennis court & pool table. Good location for sandy beaches or rugged north coast around Ilfracombe. Cottage was very snug for 2 older teenagers, but we were forewarned. Local pub did some cracking food & beer!

The cottage was fine, however the weather was wet and windy and there is not a lot to do in that weather.

Weekend break, base from which to meet family staying nearby

Cosy, compact, dog friendly cottage, immaculately clean, very well equipped, well presented living area and very comfy beds. Nearby village, excellent food pub and good community run shop, stocking local produce. Pub welcomes dogs. Communication with owner simplicity itself.
