This is honestly one of my favorite holiday homes I have stayed at. This was my 4th solo trip for just myself and my dog, and is definitely the best one for many reasons. I read on a couple of reviews about the roads driving to the property, which did nearly put me off, but please don't let that put you off at all! I have stayed in areas before whiRead morech were much harder to get to, and the host send you some help with directions and which roads to avoid. The home itself was perfect, so clean, so thought about with all the personal touches! The host themselves were so welcoming, so helpful, and went beyond what I could have asked for! Could not recommend them & this holiday home any more, and cannot wait to book and come back again! Thank you for the best weekend! Hide

Located down classic country lanes the property is ideally located to explore the north Devon Coast. It was possible to hike directly to the coast and also to a local pub in the evening (with a torch for the return leg). A very fresh clean property, with very welcoming hosts.

Although this was a beautifully equipped cottage with lovely owners, it would have been helpful to have known how isolated it was. Wed have loved to walk to the pub for a meal, but the roads are too narrow and dangerous to walk along with 2 dogs, which meant we had to drive everywhere. The cottage itself was beautiful inside but the steep steps werRead moree not conducive to dogs being able to go in and out and the outside area was gravel /stones.

An ideal base to explore the North West Devon coast and even North Cornwall as Bude is only 40 mins away. Well equipped, peaceful and nicely away from busy roads whilst still only a few mins from the A39. The outside area is lovely and a real evening sun trap. Would recommend.
