We had an amazing stay at this wonderful cottage. The cottage was very clean, well equipped (far superior to others we have stayed in) and extremely comfortable. The host was on hand for any questions and the pictures on the listing really don't do the place justice. It was just lovely. We didn't want to leave. The village is lovely and peaceRead moreful, just what was needed on a break from work. We would highly recommend. Hide

Highly recommended, great location with well thought out set up. The cottage was furnished well, great decor and well equipped. Perfect for a family of four with a well behaved dog. Kids loved the nearby play ground. Easy journey to Saunton Sands.

Beautiful property and surrounding area. Perfect for a family of 4 (2 x Adults and 2 x Children), close to the major attractions and amenities. The cottage was well equipped and had lots of nice touches (Milk & Flowers on arrival, torches for any blackouts, smart heating etc). Would highly recommend and looking to return in the future.

We had a wonderful stay in Bishop Nympton. The cottage is really cosy - the log burner is perfect. The kitchen is well equipped and the whole cottage was spotlessly clean. Plenty to do near by and some walks direct from the door. The lanes are very quiet for walking. We visited Instow, Tarr Steps, Valley of Rocks, Lynmouth, Dunster and North MoltonRead more. All were brilliant and well worth the drive. Hide
