The only complaint was that the cottage is quite remote and the narrow lanes leading to it are mostly farm tracks that are in a very poor condition . They are littered with pot holes which are impossible to avoid. A two and a half mile journey from the nearest main road to the cottage is very challenging.

This is a lovely cottage, situated in a quiet location. We were able to completely relax knowing our dog couldnt get out of the garden. It is well positioned to explore the coast of North Devon and Cornwall. The local roads were part of the charm and adventure too! Host John was very welcoming and helpful.

We stopped at Vines Cottage during a wet and windy week. We were met by our host when we arrived and he was very friendly and helpful. The barn was cosy and lovely to come back too after our windswept walks and we loved the peace and quiet of its location. It was perfect for the two of us plus our dog. Sadly we couldnt spend any time in the garden Read morebut it was good to know it was enclosed so that our dog couldnt run off. We would recommend staying at Vines Cottage. Hide

A delightful little cottage. Well equipped with everything you should need. For once it was fabulous to have a fully enclosed garden which was JACK RUSSELL TERRIER proof. This cottage is perfectly situated for walking and visiting the beautiful beaches and villages.
