A wonderful little cottage situated in a village within a few miles of Barnstaple. A very friendly welcome awaited us together with a beautifully laid out table with cream tea. Much appreciated after a wet and slow journey. Despite the accommodation being to the rear of the hosts cottage it is very private with a lovely garden and plenty of parkingRead more space. Very comfortable and equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay. Hide

A secluded cottage in an extremely quiet area. Ideal for a quiet break. A cream tea on arrival after a drive down was appreciated. A local pub, the Castle Inn is a half mile walk with good wine/beer and a lovely Sunday roast (suggest you book). A nice walk from the bottom of the driveway across the road and through the woods for a circular 1.5 mileRead more walk. Close to Barnstaple shops, use the Cattle Market car park as it is convenient to the shops. Suggest a visit to Marwood Hill Gardens. Hide

A beautiful idyllic hideaway, we loved the cottage and the peaceful location. There was easy access down a back-road to Barnstaple by car but also a lovely circular walk with great views passing by the end of the driveway.

The owners were friendly and had left a cream tea for us on arrival which was a really nice touch and went down well after our long journey.
