Whether you’re visiting with family, staying with friends or travelling as two couples together, this versatile property offers a truly wonderful stay in the Devonshire countryside. Complete with one king-size bedroom and one zip-and-link king-size bedroom, this two-bed property is a happy home for four holidaymakers staying together. Enjoy days at the beach or walks along the South West Coast Path, always heading home at the end of each day to soak aching muscles in the hot tub and appreciate the dark, starry skies that rural Devon has to offer.

Surrounded by nothing but rolling countryside this idyllic property is situated within the owner’s grounds with stunning scenery and a stream running alongside the garden, a stay in this holiday home offers an unbeatable dose of peace and quiet that’s vital for your rest and relaxation.

We had a super family holiday at Gidcott Cottage with our 2 kids (5 and 11). The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The hot tub was a real treat and we made good use of it everyday. The quiet countryside meant great sleep every night. We spent most days in Bude (30 mins) and made 2 trips to the Milky Way (30Read more mins) which both kids really enjoyed. We also visited Lydford (45 mins) and the Rydon Pub in Holsworthy was an excellent choice for cosy dinners. Hide

Lovely cottage with great amenities and some very nice homely touches. It is quite remote and roads are very narrow, so take care and be prepared. Hot tub would benefit from some form of covering (big umbrella) to keep towels, dressing gowns and shoes dry in the rain.

Cottage was excellent everything you would need equipment wise was there. It was also lovely to have another TV to watch, not always at other properties we have been to, spoilt for choice. Adam was very pleasant and helpful. Beautifully secluded albeit a bit off the beaten track. Enjoyed it and the wildlife. Thanks to the owners.

This accommodation sounded perfect and it did not disappoint. It is the best equipped place that I have stayed in. The owners really have thought of everything to make it home from home.
