A cosy little cottage in a peaceful location within earshot of the sea. Well equipped little kitchen area and lounge downstairs. Upstairs the bedroom has a very comfortable bed, and down a few steps (mind your head!) is a bathroom, and also a very useful boot room with a back door leading to the small deck area. The welcome pack of lardy cake, milkRead more, Prosecco and lager was much appreciated. Make sure one dinner is from the chip shop - great chips! Great location for walking holidays, or rockpooling on the beach. Combe Martin is a sweet, old fashioned sort of seaside town, which even in August was not too busy. Hide

A very small, but well appointed cottage. The very friendly owners have maximised the space available to good effect, very well equipped. The position just above a dog friendly beach was lovely, as was finding, beer, a bottle of fizz and a gorgeous Lardy cake awaiting us in the cottage!

Just what we needed, relaxing break, walks from the door along the coastal path with our dog, then home to a cosy night in with a fabulous log burner. Everything you needed was on hand and a wonderful welcome cream tea and champagne was awaiting our arrival. Would love to return to explore more.
