The ceiling height downstairs is about 6ft so if you are taller than this you will have to stoop which is very uncomfortable. We ended up cutting the week's holiday short after 2 days. However apart from that, the location, house and everything else is superb so guess we were just unlucky with the ceilings!

A beautifully presented and spotlessly clean property with character features which made it very cosy. Books, games & DVDs left for guests were very welcome, as was the milk and delicious cake we found on our arrival. A friendly village with excellent pubs that had both good food and plenty of entertainment on offer.

This is a really well equipped and cosy cottage. We stayed over Christmas and it was nicely decorated and warm upon arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas break at this well appointed cottage. We found the village had a Christmas market, carols around the tree in the market square.

Unbelievable cottage. All amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Great places within an hour either way. We visited Tintagel, Bude, Arlington Court, Woolacombe, Widemouth Bay, Hartland Quay, Docton Mill, Westward Ho! to name a few. The local pubs served good quality food. A local shop and Post Office open every day as needed. I would highly recomRead moremend this cottage and area, with a private village Clovelly not far away either. Some very steep roads and small country lanes can be testing though. Hide
