We had such a brilliant time staying here. The cottage was so beautiful and clean, we could of stayed there foeverer. In our party there were 3 adults and 6 children and we had plenty of room, the cottage is really big and so was the garden. The owner Joanne was very accommodating and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. She gave us a tour of Read morethe farm and told us where we could go, the kids really loved being in the fields with the animals and had plenty of room to run around and have fun. There was plenty to do in the area including wildlife and dinosaur park only 5 minutes away, beautiful beaches at Saunton and Woolacombe, shopping days at Barnstaple and Braunton and a stunning biking path with amazing views on the Tarka trail which runs for 20 miles running through Barnstaple. An absolutely amazing holiday and I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a lovely break in a beautiful place. Thankyou so much Joanne. Hide
