We have had a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage, wish the weather was better so we could have enjoyed the garden more. the cottage is in such a great location, we visited so many beaches with Henry, he is absolutely exhausted. Squires fish nd Chip takeaway is the best, homemade pies. lovely fresh fish. Royal Bengal is just as good at Indian Didn't particularly like the Chinese 'Good Fortune' Favourite beach is Putsborough - Woolacombe, but we also enjoyed Saunton Sand WOULD COME BACK!!
