Little Merryfield Reviews

Tom
We had a lovely stay at Little Merryfield. It has everything you need and we especially liked being able to settle down in front of the fire as well as the lovely and warm wood fired hot tub. The garden was fully enclosed so great for our dog, and in the summer, I imagine it would be a great place to sit out and enjoy the sun. The location allowed Read moreus to explore the North devon coast, being roughly 20-40 minutes away from most places on the coast. We would definitely stay here again! Hide

Little Merryfield is a beautiful cosy cottage in a very quaint tiny village. Naomi was very welcoming giving us local milk, fruit and a few flowers on our arrival. The log burner was a delight as the weather was a little grim. Naomi had kindly already turned up the heating for us so upstairs was also lovely and warm. So much thought has been put inRead moreto the equipment in the cottage. We literally needed for nothing. Even our little dog had treats, toys etc. A really peaceful place. Strongly recomend Hide
