This was a really lovely cottage to stay in with lots of local places to eat. We tried and would recommend Squires, The Agricultural Inn, Williams Arms for carvery and The George Inn. Lots of lovely local shops and really not far from gorgeous beaches. The welcome gift was a lovely touch too. Would thoroughly recommend. Thank you.

Great location, right in the centre of Braunton which is an excellent base to explore the area. There are plenty of pubs, bars and restaurants all within walking distance, which meant we could leave the car and easily walk without having to drive in the evenings. There are also takeaways, a co-op and several independent shops to explore. All coastRead moreal towns are within a short drive and we spent our days exploring the beaches, towns & villages and doing lots of coastal walks. The house has excellent safe off-road parking and is warm and cosy inside. The beds are big and comfortable, with plenty of wardrobe storage and there is a nice bathroom. The kitchen could do with an update but for now is functional and has everything that is needed. We would definitely recommend this as a perfect holiday home to explore the area. Hide

If you want a village location with plenty of places to eat, Stepcott Cottage is ideal. Recommend The Duck Dive. Excellent bus service. You can leave your car secure off road in the parking space by the cottage. Great location for exploring this North Devon corner. Overall, the cottage could do with a spruce up.
