We were warmly welcomed by Emma & Adam, the property was spotless and had all we needed for a short break. The cream tea was a lovely touch and we enjoyed that in the sun in the garden. The property is down a quiet lane with very little traffic. Our hosts were attentive without being intrusive which is a fine line. Thanks again.

Perfect space for two people, well equipped and in a quiet location. Very clean and tidy and spacious and a lovely cream tea greeted us. Off road parking next to accommodation. The location is within easy reach of many places to visit. Barnstaple is just a short journey for any main shopping visits or a wander around and lunch. A village shop and aRead more pub are just a 5 minute walk away. A lovely place for a quiet break. Thank you to the lovely hosts Emma and Adam, we had a perfect, relaxing break. Hide

The owners met us on arrival and were available while we were there. The property was spotless and all the fixtures and fittings were high quality. Had everything needed for a week away. Both pubs in the village have now reopened and serve good quality food at a sensible price. Main supermarkets are 20 minutes away in Barnstaple as are pretty much Read moreany shop or eating house you could need. Some might say it's a bit remote but that's what we wanted for peace and quiet. Would definitely return. Hide

We found the cottage very comfortable and clean and felt very relaxed and at home here. A selection of beaches were easily accessible from the accommodation and Barnstaple was in easy reach for shopping. Emma and Adam were great hosts and very friendly. We would definitely return here on our next trip to Devon.
