Families will love this holiday cottage that has the best of North Devon’s coast and countryside on its doorstep.

Completing the accommodation is a light and airy bathroom. Outside, guests can enjoy a spot of al fresco dining or a BBQ on the patio.

The location of the site was amazing, easy to walk down into Westward Ho! The cottage we stayed in was lovely, the beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen well equipped. There was no cable connecting the DVD player to the TV but after a quick call with the owners they dropped off the required HDMI cable and so was easily sorted for our lazy evenRead moreing watching a movie with our 11 year old. Would love to stay here again in the future as had a great time and would certainly recommend it. Hide
