Isolated location. Beautiful clean and tidy cottage with everything you could need. The enclosed garden was good for us with dogs. And surprisingly only ten minutes away from Woolacombe and Saunton beaches. We will be back

We loved it, very comfortable and well equipped. Location is quite remote and the lanes can be a challenge getting to and from the cottage but then that was also part of the charm for us. Nice outside space for our dog too.
