We had a very comfortable stay - coming away at this time of year is a gamble with regards to weather but that doesn't matter when you can sit, chat and drink tea by a cosy fire.

An ideal cottage for our family group of eight, comprising of three generations. A very good location for exploring North Devon and North Cornwall. The garden is amazing: very large with open views of the surrounding countryside; a variety of trees including apple trees; plenty of space to play outdoor games. The only negative which is highlighted Read morein the cottage information is that the entrance to the cottage is just beyond the summit of a hill, so special care is required when exiting. Hide

Lantern Cross cottage is a beautiful house, set in stunning gardens with far reaching views. Although on a fast moving road, it made no impact on our enjoyment, even in the outside space. As we live in a very secluded space, we would have noticed more than many! The garden was secure and our senior dogs found a new lease of life exploring and relaxRead moreing, which was very important to us. The house itself was well presented and appointed, there were even cut fresh flowers on display. Hide

Beautiful cottage and garden, very peaceful. We and the dogs had a lovely time. Nearest Village for pubs and shops and take aways ten or fifteen minutes away in Torrington. Thank you Sue for being on hand if needed.

The property is set in beautiful secure grounds, the garden being a paradise for dogs. The property is huge and comfortable and was more than ample for the eight of us and our three dogs. It is central for the coast and local attractions. The Globe in Beaford is a lovely pub serving delicious meals

Amazing garden and view, great size house and comfortable, had a lovely relaxing 2 weeks. Nothing bad to say really except it is right next to a road, it's not overly busy but if you're not used to noise at night you may need earplugs. Can't be helped where the house is though and it wouldn't stop me going again.
