Fabulous location with lots of fantastic beaches nearby to choose from. Little Bolthole was equipped with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. Beds were comfortable. The host was friendly and called the day before to provide recommendations and in the cottage there were folders of ideas of what to do. We will be visiting again!

A lovely house, spacious, clean and quiet with everything you could hope for. The house is located close to Bideford and near the boarder to Devon meaning easy access to lots of beaches and towns in both Devon and Cornwall.

Wonderful cottage with all the necessities for a comfortable and convenient place to stay within reach of all Cornwalls sites. The owners are very friendly and just a phone call or text away if we needed anything. We had a lovely break and recommend it. We would definitely come back x
