Little Oak Cottage Devon Reviews

Lisa
Our 2nd visit to the cottage and we absolutely love it, its so clean & tidy well maintained, welcoming & warm.. the pub just down the road is also a high recommendation too, esp for their Sunday carvery. Unfortunately our holiday ended short as we had a sudden death in the family but the owner was so w caring. We wanted to go again but due to the nRead moreews of the passing in the family we are not sure we could return with this sad memory, maybe in time when our hearts have healed we can come back. Hide
Michelle
We had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Little Oak Cottage. Just perfect for a cosy winter break - great location for some excellent dog walks.

The cottage is lovely. The hut tub was very welcome. Some people may find the closeness to the road an issue. Catherine and Mark very friendly and on hand if you have any questions.
Jane
Fantastic accommodation! Hot tub was amazing after long dog walks. Lovely location for short drive to beaches. Local pub was very handy for drinks or food. Next to a road but we weren't disturbed by traffic noise. Owners we're great in responding to any requests. Highly recommended for couples or small families, and their dog
Sarah
Lovely place to stay. Near to lots of beaches and amenates. Only down side is no easy dog walk within walking distance.. We would love to return.
Michael
Absolutely fantastic house in a quaint little village near Barnstaple. Fantastic location to explore north Devon. Well equipped house with a nice secure garden for our dog who even had his own little welcome pack on arrival. If youre unsure on whether to book this or not, just do it, you will not be disappointed.
James
Highly recommend this fantastic cottage! We stayed for a week with our toddler and dog and were blown away by the finish of the cottage, it was excellently located, with a brilliant pub in walking distance, country walks and beaches within 15 minutes drive. Super friendly and amenable hosts, have already recommended to so many friends and family an d we only arrived home yesterday, will certainly be booking again!
Heather
Wonderful holiday home although modern lots of character everything you needed. Warm , welcoming ,quality bedding , comfortable beds. All mod cons. Dogs made very welcome, Kizzie loved the dog bed in the kitchen ,think she wants one for Christmas. Dog bowls, towel provided. We really enjoyed ourselves there and if we could take the house to another area we would stay in it again .We love the area but have spent many holidays there so that's the only reason we won't be back .Thank you again .
Rebecca
Super comfy, cosy, with all the amenities you need. Hot tub and fans are lovely little comforts and the kitchen is stunning! Local pub was literally a 2 minute walk and there are lots of dog friendly beaches within 20-30 minutes. Lovely restaurant recommendations from Catherine. Would stay again. Thanks for a great stay.
Llyr
A luxurious home from home new build cottage really enjoyed our stay the hot tub was excellent even in The early autumn chilly days!! Would highly recommend
Lisa
Lovely cottage equipped well. Good location to visit nearby attractions. Supermarket and places to eat are nearby property. We had a very pleasant stay, only downside is the fairly busy road that runs alongside property and you can hear the traffic noise from inside the property, however we would still recommend staying here.
Joanne
This cottage is immaculate and beautiful with a lot of personal touches. The owner, Catherine, is really helpful. The kitchen was very well equipped for your own cooking and we also went to the pub down the road which is great for pub grub. The cottage is well located for the Tarka Trail, Instow (we recommend the Instow Arms upstairs for spectacula r sunset views), Appledore, Clovelly and all the beaches. And the hottub was great to relax in at the end of a day of walking or cycling. Perfect.
Chris
Great location, lovely property and thank you for the treats for our dog, It was lovely to have the property to come back too each evening. Our stay was over too quickly.
Aimee
We had a fantastic time at Little Oak Cottage. Situated in a very beautiful location the cottage was just perfect. Decorated, equipped and styled to an exceptionally high standard. We wanted for nothing whilst there. Every little detail was thought about and provided.
Jane
A beautiful modern, stylish and homely cottage. A perfect place to stay with easy access to beaches, pubs and restaurants. The bedrooms and ensuites were luxurious. The garden and hot tub were a wonderful extra.
Liz
Little Oak Cottage is simply beautiful! We had a very relaxing time enjoying the hot tub in the evenings. The owner gave a very warm welcome and even our dog had a basket of supplies for a comfortable stay! The fans in the bedrooms really made the rooms more comfortable in the heatwave we experienced. There is plenty to do in the local area,- Westw ard Ho beach is great for dogs! Wouldnt hesitate to recommend a stay here.
Ian
Beautiful, well equipped cottage with the added bonus of a hot tub! Easy to find, has it's own parking space and an enclosed back garden for your dog. Don't hesitate to book!
Ross
A lovely week away and very much recommended! Within easy drive of lots of things to do, 400 yards from a lovely pub and the cottage is in a lovely location on a small private cup-de-sac of five gorgeous properties. Very much recommended!
Sue
Fantastic beautiful new cottage in a good base location for visiting north devon. The cottage is spacious, well maintained and equipped, beautifully decorated and has all mod cons. Super clean! Owner lives next door and greeted us on arrival. Hot tub was an added bonus! Highly recommend 5 star Dog friendly clean beach nearby in Instow and others in surrounding areas. Local pub Hunters Inn was friendly, good food and just a few hundred yards walk down road. Must sample Johns Deli and Cafes.
Benjamin
A outstanding and immaculately presented property. We felt right at home as soon as we walked in. It was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Ideally located if you want to visit North devon. The B3232 was a slight draw back for us. Large lorries using it as a cut through (signed alternative A roads being ignored) which would shake the house day/nig ht and make walking anywhere from here risky. However this was a minor issue and we would stop here again. Hunters Inn and Instow beach a must.
Michelle
A lovely cottage in a great location. Very clean and tidy. We had a great stay.
Jayne
Beautiful clean cottage. Located on edge of village. Most beaches within 40 minute drive.
Sheila
A lovely property, ideal for two friends or two couples with the two bathrooms.
Hilary
A super clean, cosy house with a fantastic hot tub and fire. Would recommend Johns cafe / deli in Instow and Tiffanys cafe in Bideford. Both dog friendly. The Tarka trail was great and well kept for good out and back walks between villages / towns. Thanks Mrs R.
Emma
Great cottage, well equipped, hot tub was fantastic. Perfect place to relax and unwind. Cant wait to visit again!
Mark
Excellent cottage we had a great stay
Gail
A perfect, well appointed cottage for a relaxing winter break. The wood burner and hot tub are a fabulous feature. The owners are close by and very helpful and friendly. The location is ideal for exploring the North Devon coastal towns and beaches.
Joanne
A lovely homely, quiet, modern & clean holiday cottage, a relaxing comfy getaway. The hot tub & log fire were fabulous treats on the winter evenings. A short drive to all North Devons attractions. Our cockapoo was welcomed & enjoyed the countryside walks. We loved it.
Sheila
Beautiful property, very well equipped, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Didnt want to leave.
Ashley
We had the best trip away! The cottage is incredibly clean and has everything you need! We absolutely loved our stay. The owners are so helpful and always answer the phone straight away if you need them. They are so friendly.
Gemma
Little Oak Cottage provided us a great base to stay to explore Devon with our Labrador, Ralph. The cottage is gorgeously decorated, cosy and really well equipped for a self-catering stay. It was also spotlessly clean. The log burner and hot tub are a lovely touch - perfect way to relax after a busy day exploring. We have already recommended to fami ly and friends and would not hesitate to return the next time we visit Devon.
Sarah
What a place! We loved our stay at Little Oak Cottage, the place has been decorated beautifully, it is incrediably homely and comfortable with lots of lovely little touches to make it extra special. We booked this cottage for its location, hot tub and wood burner and it did not disappoint. It is ideally located to visit North Devon, the owner even recommned some local beaches and pubs to visit with our dog. We would stay again in a heartbeat, didn't want to leave! I would 100% recommend staying!
