This was our first holiday with our small baby but the property was well appointed, even with a baby bath and robe. The property is close to the road but we werent disturbed by traffic and its position is well thought out, facing a quiet field with a lovely view which can be seen from the hot tub. Jordan is very accommodating, he answered questionsRead more about the baby provisions before we arrived and sent our baby bottles to us in the post after we left them in the microwave by accident. Thank you! Hide

A great place to stay to explore North Devon - ideal location for Croyde, Illfracombe and Woolacombe beaches. The cottage itself is modern, clean and very comfortable; it has everything you need for a week away. After exploring during the day we really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub under the stars with a couple of glasses of fizz. Jordan is a fan tastic host, shortly after we arrived he came to the cottage to check everything was OK for us and helped us out with a baby bath & highchair.
