A lovely cottage, a short drive to Bideford and Instow. Clean and tidy. Lovely friendly owners who on arrival meet and greet which was nice. They are available should you need them. Plus they added little extras we hadn't known we were getting which was a real bonus. Plenty of hanging space and drawers for clothes.

This was a really comfortable cottage with everything we needed. The owners have supplied a high standard of amenities. We enjoyed sitting in the private courtyard which was a real sun trap. The Games Room was a definite hit with all family members - young and old and made up for some poor weather during our week.
