Ben
Amazing stay. We stayed in the Granary and took our little frenchie with us. The grounds are beautiful and the animals were so fun to take the doggo around. The cottage was cosy and clean and Julie made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend!!!
Oliver
An amazing stay at an amazing property. The Granary is a perfectly formed little nest for couples looking to get away from it all. The property offers an open plan living space with a well equipt kitchen. Upstairs is a romantic and cosy bedroom with en-suit bathroom. A bonus is the privat hot tub just outside, great to unwind in after a long day. O ur hosts provided everything we could want or need and were extremely welcoming. Our stay over Christmas was amazing and I can't recommend enough.
Richard
A lovely, compact cottage with everything we needed. We were a couple with a dog and it worked very well for us. Super clean, well laid out, warm and with some very nice personal touches. The hot tub is excellent and not overlooked. There is a stair gate as dogs are not allowed upstairs. The amount of space is comparable to a hotel suite. The views are spectacular, the owners were friendly - they live right next door. Worth saying that you can sometimes hear traffic from the nearby main road.
Emma
Perfect cottage had everything we needed , hot tub amazing at end of long day ,, gorgeous location peaceful
Peter
We had a lovely week, host very friendly and made us feel welcome. A beautiful cottage very private.
Martin
This property had everything we needed Including a lovely welcoming hamper We took full advantage of hot tub . Although it was next to the main house it was very private On arrival we were made to feel very welcome Would definitely stay again!
Richard
Easy to find and upon arrival met by Julie. Could not be more helpful and topped off with a welcome box of goodies. The Granary caters for all needs and a real home from home other than the fact that its set in 22 acres! Brilliant. Lovely to see the animals too. The private hot tub at the rear of the property was great and again a great little set up. We caught up with Julie during our stay and were impressed with her future plans. We wish her well amd would love to return- busy lives allowing!
Joanne
This is our second stay at the cottage. It really is a beautiful place and location to stay. Julie & Graham were both welcoming and always on hand for help and advice but not intrusive. Its a lovely place to walk around the grounds and see the animals. We will definitely be returning soon.
Wendy

The cottage is quaint and located in a commanding position with views overlooking towards south Molton town. Set amongst rolling countryside and a short distance from the moors it is ideally located to explore north Devon in all directions. Tastefully decorated and provided with usual home from home facilities the cottage is comfortable and you wil l love the welcome cream tea on arrival. The resident animals are also a joy to see and hear. The owners are warm and welcoming. A great stay.

rosie
The cottage was lovely, perfect for the two of us and the dog! The little enclosed garden was nice to have to relax in and not have to worry about the dog. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay.
Madeleine
Lovely properties, very clean and a warm welcome.
Angela
We had a lovely relaxing stay in the well equipped cosy cottage. The hot tub, which was at the back of the property, was private, very clean and always ready to use. We were able to use the outside seating area for an alfresco BBQ and watch the night stars while soaking in the hot tub. The owner was very welcoming and invited us to walk the grounds and visit the many animals on site. Overall a wonderful week away and a perfect spot to explore north Devon's many attractions.
Bal
We have just come back from a lovely 5 day stay at North Gate Granary. We booked The Granary as it was just the two of us and we loved it. Its the perfect sized, very well kept and very clean! We absolutely loved our stay and loved having the animals coming to say hello every morning. We will be back to stay as soon as we can. Its a great location so you can drive to attractions near by and has some lovely walks and pubs nearby. Julie was an amazing host.
Stephen
Had a lovely time, beautiful location, very pleased with everything about your amazing cottage will come again thank you for having us Steve & Charlotte
Yasmin
The cottage was a great place to stay during our short time in North Devon. Immaculately clean, cosy, beautiful views and well-positioned in terms of being so close to Exmoor and within reasonable driving distance of the North Devonshire coast. The hot tub is a great addition and the animals on site are a lovely compliment to a morning walk. In add ition to all of that, Julie and Graham were very welcoming hosts. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in North Devon.
Michael
Arrived a later time than planned but Julie was brilliant in welcoming us in, the cottage was a perfect setup for us whilst away for the week and even though its set out away from a lot of places theres plenty to do nearby with Woolacombe, ilfracombe and lynton our favourites. Julie was a great host and I would highly recommend the stay.
