Stayed here with our two older children. Cottage was lovely and had everything we needed for our stay. Didnt make use of the swimming pool or hot tub as we spent most days at the beach. Our 14 year old boy was kept entertained in the games room of an evening. The cottage is in a great location for beaches and costal paths. Robin and Lesley (owners)Read more were really friendly with nothing too much trouble for them. The nearby village is a short drive down the road. Has a lovely shop, chippy and a couple of pubs. The Hart Inn does lovely food and the staff are super friendly also. Overall had a great stay. Hide

This was our second visit with our grandson to this cottage in the past two years. The cottage is extremely well equipped, maintained to a high standard and very quiet. The pool and games room are a great bonus especially when you have an 18 year old with you.

We had a lovely stay. The cottage was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed in the kitchen. The games room was amazing, and the pool, sauna and hot-tub beautifully clean, heated and lit to optimum temperature. Our teenagers loved it. Just a short drive away from our favourite beaches of Duckpool, Sandymouth and Welcome Bay, and a few gooRead mored pubs within easy driving distance. Leslie & Robin were very good to us, and were on hand if we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again! Hide

We had a lovely stay, it was easy to get to and from other places it was only about 10 minutes drive from the A39. The door frames were below 6' to all rooms, but once inside the height was ok for our 6'1" son. The kitchen facilities were good, dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid were provided which was a bonus. We enjoyed the swimming pool faRead morecilities and hot tub also playing pool in the games room too. Hide

We had a fantastic stay at Mettaford Farm in north Devon. The cottage was spotlessly clean, and the hosts were warm, friendly, and extremely accommodating. The pool was a huge bonus, and we loved the indoor games area as well as playing French cricket and other games outside on the spacious grass area. We were lucky to arrive during the annual HartRead moreland Carnival the final day was spectacular! The location is ideal, perfectly placed for exploring popular destinations in both Devon and Cornwall. Hide

The only thing I could fault about our stay was that the hot tub was not available as it had broken during the previous letting and could not be repaired before our stay as the engineer didn't have the right part but we otherwise had an excellent stay. Thank you Robin and Lesley

Lovely cottage and facilities. Really great value. The pool area, games room and play area were great for us and our toddler to enjoy. Would have used the facilities a lot more but we were so lucky with the beautiful weather. Handy having the cot, highchair and stair gate in the cottage. Good location for exploring all the beautiful places nearby. Read moreLovely owners always stopped for a chat. Thank you for a great stay! Hide

Cottage was immaculately clean. Owners were warm and friendly, pool, hot tub & sauna were a nice touch. During bad weather our child was entertained in the games room. Grounds were well maintained & enjoyable to walk around, even without a dog. Beaches & things to do about half an hour away. Lots of wildlife, very quiet & could hear owls at night.
