Really nice place and very comfortable The hot tub area is incredible, such a nice place to spend a few hours overlooking the countryside Only point would be the stairs at the back of the property are dangerous when wet and should have a warningrestricted when access isn't necessary
Rebecca
Only word for this place is AMAZING. My partner and I visited for a week and we both apsolutly adored it! There was not a single thing we could even have a slight bad comment about. Located in a lovely area surrounded by lovely little walks and amazing places to eat.
Deborah
Lovely setting combined with comfortable and clean accommodation. The sense of privacy and security was reassuring and being able to use the hot tub whilst getting close to nature was joyous. Wonderful opportunity to see the night sky without light pollution brilliant. Felt very welcome and would not hesitate to book again.
Adorable little piece of heaven. Well appointed property. Very clean and tastefully furnished. Everything you needed was provided, plus welcome hamper. Thanks again.
Richard
Upon arriving at our holiday home we realised with shock that it was just an Annex attached to the owners house. Nowhere in the description of our holiday did it say this
Robert
This was one of the best cottages we have stayed in and Ive have over the years stayed in quiet a few
Leslie
A fantastic place we will be going back couldn't think of anything I would change or needed changing
We stayed at this property and was much looking forward to relax in privacy for a couple of days where the property is located in a beautiful location and its very clean so no complaints there. Just slightly disappointed in the fact where are you stay at silver nugget it is next to the main house, and in the little information, book, that is at the property, the owners make it quite clear that youve got to be aware of your surroundings that the family lives next door, so you felt like you were stepping on eggshells a little bit really relax and the fact that you can hear them in there kitchen, so it didnt feel very private in that way and in the pictures it is very misleading as regards to hot tub. Yes there is access to a hot tub on site but its quite some distance away from the main house so in my view, this property was very misleading and the fact that we paid 830. And We couldnt book in before 4 oclock on the Friday and we had to leave by 9 oclock Sunday morning. I think this property is extremely overvalued There are a few places in around the area that we have stay over the last few years, and we have found that is much more facilities and privacy and beautiful little places in other locations , unfortunately we shall not be staying at this property in the future This review is based on our stay on the 10th of February 2023.
One of our most comfortable stays in a cottage! My wife said she felt instantly at home and did not at all feel any need to walk round and wipe surfaces etc! A testimony to how clean the cottage is. The setting and views are stunning. Peter and Lisa made us feel very welcome and were always on hand if needed. A very enjoyable break.
Absolutely lovely propertycouldn't believe how spacious it was and how nicely furnished. Really generous welcome basket waiting for us with wine, apple juice, eggs and bread. Had all the mod cons we needed and when we ran out of loo roll one quick text to Peter and we were back in business. The views from outside the front were breathtaking and we loved sitting in the hot tub and watching the sun come up. Would definatley come back when the weather is nicer as there are so many opportunities to get to from this gem. No complaints, smiles all around.
A fantastic place to stay. The let itself is huge, definitely the biggest we have stayed in. The hosts were very helpful and made us feel welcome. The views over the valley were wonderful, especially from the hot tub. It is a very quiet location and just the right place to unwind
Angela
Beautiful place set in idyllic part of English countryside. Lots to explore both on foot and in car. Accommodation was presented to a very high standard very spacious with everything you needed. Hosts friendly and approachable.
Stephen
Very spacious and luxurious accommodation. Hot tub location excellent for far reaching views and privacy Welcome basket much appreciated Hosts particularly helpful and accommodating Highly recommended on all fronts !
Outstanding property in beautiful location with gorgeous views! ! Accommodation was spacious, comfortable and clean and all done to a high standard. Would highly recommend and will be returning again!! 5 stars all the way!!
Very spacious, well equipped and comfortable. Perfect setting with lovely views from the hot tub. Ideal for a relaxing break.
Glynise
Little Silver Nugget is an absolute gem. The self catering apartment was spacious, light, very clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing week away. The grounds are beautiful and overlook stunning countryside as does the hot tub which was divine. Our hosts Peter and Lisa were very welcoming and helpful. We were delighted by the lovely hamper of goodies they left for us on arrival. Little Silver Nugget is first class and highly recommended.
Charles
Little silver nugget was immaculate. A home from home. Everything necessary was provided and a fantastic welcome basket of goodies.
Steven
We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The hot tub was wonderful as were all the facilities in the accommodation. We would certainly recommend Little Silver Nugget to our friends and family. One minor point is that towels could be provided for the hot tub or that hurts be advised to bring their own towels. We would not hesitate in rebooking in the future when we need to get away from it all again.
Jonathan
My wife and I had a wonderfully relaxing week in Little Silver Nugget. It was incredibly spacious much larger than we were expecting, yet still very intimate, homely and everything was finished to a really high standard. The view from the hot tub was fantastic it was just unfortunate that the weather wasnt quite good enough to watch an early sunrise. It turned out to be a perfect location for us. We were able to get a taste of Devon, parts of Cornwall and even spent a day in Dorset. We look forward to returning.
Little Silver Nugget was everything it said it would be. We had a very peaceful relaxing stay. The views, the cottage itself, the remoteness, the hot tub, and everything about the place were excellent.
Kavita
A lovely staycation with everything we wanted out of our long weekend away. The space in the accommodation was great and the hot tub was magical especially with those fab views. Lisa and Peter welcomed us and waved us goodbye...the hamper was a treat. Defo recommend the place.
An outstanding property with everything you need. The property is very clean & tidy. Couldnt have wished for a nicer place. The owners provided a welcome basket with some wonderful & delicious goodies! And as for the hot tub, just a little slice of heaven. The perfect place for a quiet retreat to rest & recharge. Thank you
1010 a really lovely property in an excellent location. The property is faultless and very spacious for 2 people. The hot tub is the icing on the cake and in a great location for relaxing in the evening. This is now top of our favourite weekend break locations. Excellent, wish we could have stayed longer.
Lovely accommodation,thoughtful welcome pack with home produced products was wonderful. Fabulous views from the hot tub,shame we were unlucky with the weather!
A truly beautiful location and wonderful accommodation. Peaceful, romantic and exactly what was needed to rest and relax. Shame we weren't there longer. The Little Silver Nugget is much bigger than the photos suggest, and everything needed is provided. The welcome hamper of fresh bread and eggs, was a very nice touch, and very much enjoyed. We will definitely be looking to return and enjoy that hot tub, with those views again. Ross & Emma Wills
Fantastic property. Cannot recommend Little Silver Bullet enough, Peter and Lisa have thought of everything you could need, from kitchen appliances and utensils, to books and DVDs and guides of the local area and attractions. The hot tub was located in a beautiful private setting and was enjoyed throughout our stay. The cleanliness was fantastic for such a large accommodation and we wouldn't hesitate to return. Perhaps the best value for money property we have ever stayed in.
Superb cottage, spacious and very comfortable. The hut tub is a gem with wonderful views across the valley. Would definitely recommend.
This was our second visit to Little Nugget and our stay was amazing. Little Nugget is a lovely place to stay and visit the surrounding areas.
We had a wonderful Christmas at Little Silver Nugget. Everything was perfect and the property was stocked with everything we needed. Its in a lovely quiet location with beautiful views from the hot tub. It's obvious the owners really take care and effort into making sure the property ticks all boxes, including the addition of a Christmas tree which we really appreciated. We will definitely be back to stay in future, we had a lovely relaxing week.
Very comfortable and clean. Spacious property and plenty of facilities. Views from the hot tub are amazing. Would recommend this property for a nice quiet holiday.
We had a great time. Everything felt very clean and safe. Great location, helpful owners.
Information on the website cannot truly show how wonderful the property and the views from it are. The owners couldnt have been more friendly or helpful, and we are already considering a return visit. A true gem.
Elaine
We were celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary location and surroundings were perfect for a relaxing romantic break. The hot tub was great at the end of a sight seeing day and the views were amazing. Lovely welcome hamper on arrival with all necessary supplies.
Pictures don't do this place justice. . It is absolutely HUGE for 2 people! Lovely hamper with homemade bread and apple juice was a very nice gesture
Michael
Everything was perfect. the property was spotlessly clean, we were given lots of unexpected extras eg milk fresh eggs homemade bread,honey & apple juice. Would highly recommend to anyone
Eilidh
Perfect holiday in a perfect location! Great for exploring North Devon and the hot tub is definitely a highlight
The photos honestly don't do the Little Silver Nugget justice, I was blown away by how spacious the property was inside. The views outside are breathtaking. I have already recommended it to friends.
Wow what a wonderful place, amazing accommodation , views out of this world. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. Owners very friendly . Would go back again.
Lovely apartment in a stunning location. Much larger than the average two person accommodation and everything was top quality. Hosts were very friendly and gave some good tips for local days out.
What an amazing trip we had. I have already recommended this place to my whole family and are thinking about trying to book the huts and the Nugget all at the same time so we can all come together. We will be back for sure Steve and Shannel
