We had a lovely time at Cherry cottage, despite the weather closing in on us towards the end. The cottage is 'upside down' with beds on the ground floor, and a well equipped kitchen and living area upstairs.

We enjoyed a really nice meal at the Anchor in Hartland as well as clifftop rambles. Hide

We had such a lovely family holiday at Mettaford Farm. With two young children and a very energetic springer spaniel it can be hard to find somewhere that has something for everyone but with the pool, hot tub and games room plus the two dog fields we were all certainly very happy (and tired) by the end of the week. Lesley and Robin were so helpful Read moreand friendly, even giving us some delicious fresh vegetables from their garden. We have booked to go back next year already and cant wait! Hide
