This is a lovely stone cottage which has been very tastefully renovated to a very high standard. One of the cleanest holiday cottages we have ever stayed in and it had everything you could possibly need for a Devon holiday. The cottage also has a lovely size dog friendly garden which was very important to us. I would definitely recommend this cottaRead morege. Hide

Location spot on, with Bideford, Torrington, Instow & Appledore within a short drive. Downstairs was excellent with a decent kitchen diner, cosy sitting room. Main bedroom upstairs was good but 2nd bedroom not very comfortable. Attention to detail lacking compared to previous cottages rented; i.e. lawn (a main selling feature) not cut in several weRead moreeks which made it not suitable. No soap in the bathroom or ensuite, patio furniture had loads of dead leaves underneath. The little things count. Hide

Ideal, comfortable cottage for a quiet break while being close to town. The garden is completely secure, Freddie loved being outside and the doggy treats, while we were glad with the welcome pack. Tastefully decorated, everything we needed was there. The owner is only a text message away. Highly recommended.

A nice cosy cottage very well presented by the owners.Great location close to Bideford,Instow and the Tarka Trail which is great for walking any dogs. Fully enclosed garden to front which is great for dogs suggest take a towel or two in winter months as muddy wet paws have to be walked across lounge area to kitchen.

Beautiful cottage, very cosy and perfect retreat. Great base for exploring North Devon. Both our little dogs were comfortable there. The garden was secure and great space for them to play. Really appreciated the milk, biscuit and tea on arrival. Have already recommended to friends. Really quiet so great to relax. Will miss the little sparrow askingRead more for his breakfast each morning, he was so tame and sat on the door handle chirping away. Hide

Booked a long weekend and wasnt disappointed!! A stunning cottage set in quiet rural location. The cottage was immaculate with everything you needed ( especially the smart TV ) to keep the boys occupied before bed. The owner was on hand (via text) to answer any questions swiftly and accurately. Tesco is a 5 min drive with Bideford a further 5 mins Read moreBideford quay is great for kids, a lovely park wit plenty of shade. Saunton sands beach is fantastic 35 mins away but worth well worth it. Hide

The Smithy is a quaint little cottage in a rural position a short distance away from Biddeford. It has been updated by the owners with lovely decor and furnishings. It is spotlessly clean throughout. We have two whippets and the garden was completely enclosed and safe for them. The beds were quite firm for us but I appreciate that this is subjectivRead moree and a personal preference. Its very peaceful and quiet. Remember to take your milk/tea/coffee for your cuppa on arrival. There is a Tesco locally. Hide
