5Star Review A Perfect Birthday Week in Bideford, Devon Ive just spent a lovely week here for my birthday, from 29th May to 5th June 2026, and it has truly been one of the best places Ive ever stayed. There isnt a single thing missing everything has been so thoughtfully planned, and everything works exactly as it should. The owners werRead moree really lovely and courteous, which made the whole stay feel even more welcoming and relaxed. The woodwork throughout the property is beautiful, and I loved the paintings done by the owners father. You can really feel the care, pride, and personal touch thats gone into the place. The garden is completely secure, which meant my dogs were safe and couldnt get out. It gave me total peace of mind. The garden itself is lovely the lawn was freshly cut, and the covered seating area is perfect. It gives shade in the sun and shelter if the weather turns. Sitting out there in the morning was just gorgeous. Inside, the beds were extremely comfortable and the bedding was spotless. The kitchen has everything we needed, all clearly explained and organised so nothing was hard to find. If you have children, youll be amazed Ive never seen so many games and activities available. The welcome pack was fabulous, not just for us but for our dogs too. Theyd thought of everything, right down to a dog towel, poo bags, and bowls. Such a thoughtful touch. Overall, it was a wonderful place to spend my birthday week comfortable, beautifully kept, incredibly well organised, and full of lovely details. I wouldnt hesitate to come back. - Hide
