The perfect festive getaway. A lovely countryside farmhouse with everything we needed. Easy to find and to gain access to. The owner was very communicative and helpful. The house was comfortable, cosy and a real home from home. The beach is only 20 mins away by car and there are some beautiful walks nearby, too. Perfect for people of all ages - theRead more youngest was 3 and the oldest 76 and all had a fab time. Thank you! We loved that the house was decorated for Christmas, too! Hide

Very spacious house with plenty of areas to be together or away from each other. Very well equipped kitchen and very comfortable too. Lots of outside space for chilling or activities. Plenty to do in the local area.

The house is very roomy and well equipped. It is in a tiny hamlet in rural Devon and is about 30 minutes drive from both Braunton and Barnstaple, and the nearest pubs, supermarkets, shops, and the beach.
