A comfortable and well equipped cottage, located close to Ilfracombe and other North Devon attractions. The swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi were excellent and so close to the cottage. We would love to go back.

Theresa
Fabulous accommodation with everything though of. The pool and hot tub are a treat. Beautiful location with breathtaking views . It was just a bit too far to walk to the nearest pub otherwise absolutely perfect .
Andrea
An idyllic location for both couples and families alike. .Would thoroughly recommend
Rachel
Nice wee cottage - very cosy. Awesome location with great views. Good communal games room and pool/hot tub. Range of basic cooking utensils. Although its dog friendly we couldnt find a secure place (away from farm animals/horses) to walk dogs off the lead - a bit difficult with dogs who prefer to toilet off the lead. Also no info as to any routes o n the farm you could walk dogs on lead meaning we had to drive elsewhere to walk the dogs - not a big deal in N Devon but worth bearing in mind.
Sarah
Lovely cottage, perfect for the dogs really nice and quiet, and has the added bonus of an indoor pool, sauna and hot tub plus a games room. We loved our week here and would definately go back.
