We used the cottage as a base and travelled out each day. It is a lovely quite location and it was nice to be woken by birds and nature instead of traffic and seagulls. Everything was comfy and we enjoyed sitting out on the balcony for the evening after some time spent in the hot tub. Parking is easy and close by.

The property and the location are perfect to get away from it all and with the added bonus of the fabulous hot tub you can totally relax and enjoy. The property is very clean and well maintained, we had a great holiday and could fault anything. Thank you so much Lynda (from Shropshire)

The most peaceful home to stay in. The hot tub and the sun loungers and furniture on the balcony made this a very relaxing base for looking around North Devon- be aware that that the lovely setting is quite a drive from the coast.

This is a beautiful lodge. We stayed as a family and loved it. The large hot tub is off to the side and a great asset. The pool is so close and was generally empty. It is remote location, which is a great hideaway. Be prepared to drive a while if you want to go anywhere. We had a few days out and few days relaxing there.

Peaceful setting, very spacious property. The balcony was the perfect setting to watch the sunrise, and hot tub was a great place to unwind. Advice would be to bring toilet roll, bin bags, cleaning products as these were sparsely supplied. Although very peaceful, it is in the middle of nowhere and a 30-60 minute drive to any supermarket or days outRead more. Recommendations include Chumleigh Tandoori takeaway if you dont fancy cooking (15min drive) and Westward Ho! Beach (especially with a pup!) Hide

Cottage is very remote at the top of the valley and scenery is beautiful. If you want peace and quiet for relaxation and recharge place is idyllic. The hot tub is to the side of the cottage and perfect for privacy. Beds are very comfortable and is well decorated and equipped for self catering.
