Where to begin? The cottage so very perfect for a long weekend and as a base for exploring beautiful North Devon. Big enough for three adults and two dogs (Black lab. & Jack Russell) with spacious areas for exercise. To be honest , i loved it and was sad to leave. WILL BE BACK!!

Thank you for a wonderful weeks stay. Accommodation was very clean and comfortable , ideal for 2 Dalmatian's. The property is well located close to most places that you would want to visit whilst staying in North Devon. Not forgetting the beautiful walks from the front doorstep. Hopefully we will be back in the Spring.

A wonderfully warm cottage which was ideal for our January break. The woods and gardens of the Manor House were a real bonus stunning. We had our two Labradors with us and the cottage and grounds were perfect for our exploration of the Devon coastline.

Beautiful location with great views of the cows in the field opposite and deer spotting whilst driving through the estate.

Really nice place. We all enjoyed the time here. It is a good place to switch off from everyday life. Being woken up in the morning by birds is definitely better than car noise. The house is really cute and with enough space for the 4 of us (family). You need to drive a bit to visit villages or beaches. But we enjoyed this too... in the small streeRead morets of North Devon.

Location was stunning and ideal for a North Devon holiday. Cottage was peaceful and welcoming with lovely surroundings. However, unfortunately, the customer service was shocking.

Had to take mattress off of kids bed and make a floor bed for our little girl so she could sleep! Hide
