Wonderful cottage with ample space, beautiful decor and cozy feel. Spacious bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Gorgeous kitchen ideal for cooking and socializing, and which opens up onto the garden. Fabulous patio for outdoor dining during summer months, and a hot tub for colder days. Plenty of activities to keep both adults and children entertaiRead morened, including billiards, darts, boccia and table tennis. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into the refurbishment of the house, giving it a high quality feel. They were also very helpful and swift to reply when contacted about practicalities. The House is close to the charming village of Winkleigh, we particularly liked the Kings Arms with great food and family friendly atmosphere. We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Goodleigh House, and warmly recommend it as a holiday home. Hide
