Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention the cleanliness of the cottage, describing it as 'very clean' and well-maintained, indicating a high standard of cleanliness.
The location is frequently praised for its tranquillity and convenience for touring North Devon, though one mention of a closed local shop suggests some amenities are not as close as expected.
Comfort is a strong point, with multiple reviews highlighting the cottage's comfort, including mentions of it being 'comfortable and pleasant' and 'a perfect family retreat'.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with positive comments on the well-equipped cottage and garden. However, the absence of a dishwasher in one review suggests that while good, facilities may not meet everyone's expectations.
The owners' thoughtfulness is frequently noted, with special mentions of cream teas on arrival and other kind gestures. It's important to note that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The cottage was just right for our needs. It was warm, comfortable and had everything we needed. The welcoming cream tea was an added bonus.
