Gidcott Cottage Reviews

Sarah

This was a return visit. Everything was as good as we remembered. The cottage is immaculate and very well equipped. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. There is so much to do in the area, catering for all tastes and ages. However, this cottage is a destination in its own right. If you want peace and quiet, the garden is the perfect place toRead more relax and the hot tub looks out over fields; the only noise is the occasional mooing from cows in nearby fields. This location is utter bliss. Hide

Exceptional cottage of the highest quality, lovely big garden and beautiful hot tub, couldnt have asked for any more. Location is rather remote but we enjoyed driving through the lanes. Brilliant summer holiday had by the whole family. Welcome pack was an added bonus. Would highly recommend.

We had a super family holiday at Gidcott Cottage with our 2 kids (5 and 11). The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The hot tub was a real treat and we made good use of it everyday. The quiet countryside meant great sleep every night. We spent most days in Bude (30 mins) and made 2 trips to the Milky Way (30Read more mins) which both kids really enjoyed. We also visited Lydford (45 mins) and the Rydon Pub in Holsworthy was an excellent choice for cosy dinners. Hide

Dave

Lovely cottage with great amenities and some very nice homely touches. It is quite remote and roads are very narrow, so take care and be prepared. Hot tub would benefit from some form of covering (big umbrella) to keep towels, dressing gowns and shoes dry in the rain.

Kay

Beautiful accommodation with everything you could possibly need for a very comfortable stay. Lovely and peaceful location and the owners were so helpful without being at all intrusive. Outdoor thoroughly recommend.

Diane

Cottage was excellent everything you would need equipment wise was there. It was also lovely to have another TV to watch, not always at other properties we have been to, spoilt for choice. Adam was very pleasant and helpful. Beautifully secluded albeit a bit off the beaten track. Enjoyed it and the wildlife. Thanks to the owners.

Sarah

This accommodation sounded perfect and it did not disappoint. It is the best equipped place that I have stayed in. The owners really have thought of everything to make it home from home. The setting and scenery is also idyllic - the only noise is from the cows in the opposite field when theyre grazing during the day. The owners live next door whichRead more is reassuring but they are not intrusive and the garden area is completely private. We cannot wait to go back again. Hide
