We had a great time at The Garden Cottage, the host was lovely welcoming us there and gave us Cake and Bubbly on arrival. There were plenty of useful kitchen items there for us also so we didn't need anything apart from food and there is a big Tesco in Braunton not far away.They have a big garden area which is great for kids or dogs to play. The area is quiet but isn't far from anywhere in North Devon making it a good base to explore. I would recommend this to any families of 5/6 members.

This is the second time we have stayed at the garden cottage and it was just as fabulous the second time round. A beautiful location, well equipped and set up for all needs, the cottage is close to beaches and walks of outstanding beauty. This is a real treasure worth the visit.
