Jake
Had such an amazing time here, the property was overall 10/10 we couldnt have moved it more! Such a lovely area and definitely recommend visiting the pub up the road. Will be returning!
Sue
A beautiful little cottage with the added bonus of the hot tub. Very comfortable, clean and tidy. Great pub just up the road with great food and great atmosphere. Cottage in good location for getting around. Would highly recommend and we would love to visit again!
Simon
Great, comfortable and well-equipped cottage conveniently located to explore north Devon. Proximity to busy pub was helpful given the bad weather we had due to Storm Ciearan! Sarah was really helpful in addressing the lack of coat hangers and checking we were ok with the cottage. Would definitely book again.
Gary
Excellent cottage. High standard equipment and fittings. Quiet location. Excellent pub 150 yards up the road for great food.
Martin
Lovely cottage and fantastic pub 100yds uphill with very good food. Local shop would be nice. But cottage lovely with benefit of hot tub. Shower drain needs looking at . Lovely comfy bed. Would highly recomend.
Ember
The cottage itself was beautiful and very well thought out. The information details of what is in the local area and attractions where very limited. Unfortunately was advised that this would be updated whilst we were away however this was never received. We had a few disruptions from valuations and visits from national grid which unfortunate but diRead mored spoil our time alittle. We would definitely be coming back to North devon as feel we missed so much due to lack of information on the area Hide
Stephen
Fantastic place to stay good location and very comfortable we loved our stay
Elaine
Really lovely cottage, so glad we found it, lovely and clean, perfect location for the North Devon coast, well equipped, biggest walled TVs I have watched in the bedroom and lounge. The enclosed garden is a big advantage for your furry friend, lots of walks within easy distance from the cottage. I would definitely recommend to my friends.
Ashley
It was a really lovely and comfortable stay and the facilities were brilliant. The cottage was beautiful and really nicely furnished. The hot tub is a great addition and provided another way to relax. We were always able to find on-street parking. The bed is very large and really comfortable, we slept very well after days out exploring Devon & Corn wall. Sarah was always available to help and answer any questions.
Thomas
Lovely cottage very well equipped would recommend this property
Paul
Overall nice, although expensive for 2 nights stay
Helen
It appeared to us that this cottage is new to the holiday cottage market - the owner has clearly put a lot of time, money and effort into it. There are a couple of teething issues which would fully expect the owner to fix ASAP given the work they have already completed to a high standard. Overall the cottage is a credit to them. Parking on the road was never an issue. The friendly local pub is two mins walk up the road and Bishops Tawton is well located for exploring north Devon.
