A wonderful little cottage situated in a village within a few miles of Barnstaple. A very friendly welcome awaited us together with a beautifully laid out table with cream tea. Much appreciated after a wet and slow journey. Despite the accommodation being to the rear of the hosts cottage it is very private with a lovely garden and plenty of parkingRead more space. Very comfortable and equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay. Hide

A secluded cottage in an extremely quiet area. Ideal for a quiet break. A cream tea on arrival after a drive down was appreciated. A local pub, the Castle Inn is a half mile walk with good wine/beer and a lovely Sunday roast (suggest you book). A nice walk from the bottom of the driveway across the road and through the woods for a circular 1.5 mileRead more walk. Close to Barnstaple shops, use the Cattle Market car park as it is convenient to the shops. Suggest a visit to Marwood Hill Gardens. Hide

A beautiful idyllic hideaway, we loved the cottage and the peaceful location. There was easy access down a back-road to Barnstaple by car but also a lovely circular walk with great views passing by the end of the driveway.

Old Manor Cottage is a most comfortable, quiet and cosy place.

We had a lovely stay in Old Manor Cottage, it was clean and comfortable with a sunny private garden. The owners were friendly and had left a cream tea for us on arrival which was a really nice touch and went down well after our long journey. We were in Devon to walk some of the South West Coast Path and this cottage was conveniently located for wheRead morere we wanted to go which included Ilfracombe, Woolacombe, Instow and Westward Ho!
