Snaptrip says

Rose Cottage in Devon is highly praised for its immaculate cleanliness, stunning views, and well-equipped facilities. Guests appreciate the peaceful location and the thoughtful touches, including a welcome cream tea. The access road's condition is noted, but the cottage's charm and comfort seem to outweigh this inconvenience for most visitors.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviewers consistently mention the cottage's exceptional cleanliness, describing it as 'spotlessly clean' and 'extremely clean', which indicates a high standard maintained by the owners.

The location is celebrated for its beautiful views and tranquillity, though the access road's condition is a recurring concern. The proximity to Barnstaple and North Devon attractions is appreciated, enhancing the location's appeal.

Guests find the cottage comfortable, with special mentions of cosy bedrooms and a well-appointed living area. A few comments about draughtiness and slow heating are noted, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.

The cottage is praised for being well-equipped and having good quality items. Some minor issues are raised regarding maintenance, such as spongy floors and the need for additional heating solutions, but these do not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback.

Several reviews express gratitude for the thoughtful welcome gifts, such as cream teas, which contribute to a warm reception. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is politely noted that such gifts are subject to the owners' discretion and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

This semi-detached cottage is tucked away into a rural location, only a short distance from the traditional coastal town of Barnstaple, with countryside views bordering the exterior. Whether you envision a peaceful getaway for two, or a holiday with the family, Rose Cottage will uplift your spirits with its warm and friendly ambience. Be welcomed by the open-plan living area which features summery sofas, and a dining table set up for four people. There is an almost seaside theme tied into the layout, with refreshing wall art taking you to the shores, intertwined with countryside views welcomed in from the windows. Two steps lead down to the contemporary kitchen and its well-matched colour scheme, also comprising of a breakfast bar where you can relax with a warm cup of tea and appreciate the beautiful hillside once more. As the night draws in, one of the two bedrooms will become your own characterful haven to relax, each neutrally styled in cool blue and white tones, with ample oak storage, overhead ceiling beams and skylight windows. After a long day, sit back with a book of your choice, escaping into your own world as natural light falls in from above. Lastly, Rose Cottage brings you a serene family bathroom where you will be impressed by the corner bath, and wet room style shower, complete to that of a hotel standard. If you can steer yourself away from the interior, why not spend an hour or two enjoying the large communal garden area, and raised patio area with furniture. There is also a stream on-site, with sightings of chicken and ducks as they roam across the land. Barnstaple is a busy traditional Devon coastal town with a pannier market, shops, restaurants and bars, along with two fabulous sandy beaches. Close by is the coastal village of Clovelly, not to be missed. On the remarkable North Devon coastline between Westward Ho! and Croyde, whilst being only a short drive from the Exmoor National Park, Rose Cottage is the perfect choice for a picture-postcard holiday.

Barnstaple is at the mouth of the Taw Estuary, on the North Devon coastline between Westward Ho! and Croyde and is a short drive from the Exmoor National Park. Barnstaple is a coastal town with a market, shops, restaurants and bars, along with two beaches popular with surfers and families.
