We had a lovely stay at Ashtree Cottage! The place was spotless and well-equipped with modern appliances, making everything really convenient. The location is perfect, with gorgeous beaches just half an hour away. We adore Devon and visit regularly, but this year’s stay was definitely our favourite so far. Hoping to come back next year! Highly recommend this dog-friendly spot.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ashtree Cottage! The place is bright, airyand super comfy, with a lovely secure garden for the dog. The huge windows and bi-fold doors offer stunning views, making it feel so spacious. It's well kitted out and spotless, plus the location is stunning. Just a heads up for dog owners - sheep and lambs were in the field next door, so keep the dog on a lead!

We had a fantastic week in North Devon! The cottage was super clean and had all the essentials. Sadly, the weather was so nice we didn’t get to use the log burner, but it looked cosy. Watching playful lambs from the garden was lovelyand Putsborough and Saunton beaches were absolutely gorgeous. We’ll be back for sure!

We had such a lovely stay! The owners were genuinely friendly and made us feel really welcome. The house had everything we neededand the fully enclosed garden was perfect for our two Labradors. They loved exploring the fields and stream, which was a big plus. We had a great time playing Monopoly and relaxing. Definitely planning to come back soon-one of the best places we've stayed! Thanks for a wonderful week.

We had a lovely stay at this place! The owner was really friendlyand the house had great finishing touches. Our dog felt safe in the gardenand it was handy being able to wash him after walks. The paddock was perfect for afternoon strolls. Close to Barnstable for shoppingand plenty of beaches nearby. We’re already planning another visit in spring or summer!

We had a wonderful week here! From the moment we arrived, it was lovely to find scones, creamand homemade strawberry jam waiting for us-such a nice touch. The rooms were spotless and looked really inviting. We slept soundly, with everything from the bed linen to towels being immaculate. The peaceful setting, with birds singing and the river flowing at the bottom of the field, was perfect for relaxing. Perfect for dog walks too, especially with the fields and footpath leading to the pub. Definitely a great spot!
