This is a fabulous cottage in a beautiful, peaceful location. The owners are extremely hospitable and helpful and we really wouldn't hesitate in going back. The local pub (The Cyder Presse) serves great food at incredible value for money. You won't go far wrong if you book here

Just fell in love with both the cottage and the village itself as soon as I walked through the front gate. Felt immediately at home - the Prosecco in the fridge was a lovely touch, along with tea and milk for my AM cuppa. So cosy and the perfect recuperative retreat. Fabulous owners - so much love has gone into making Valleys End the beautiful homeRead more from home that it is. A great location being minutes from the Tarka Trail, shops, woodland, village pub, etc Cant wait to return xxx Hide

Idyllic Grade 2 listed thatched, excellently equipped cottage. The cottage is ideally placed to explore the North Devon coast and countryside, but set in a tranquil village with a welcoming pub.

Valleys End Cottage is a lovely chocolate box cottage. Its warm, cosy & well equipped with a lovely log burner & pretty garden which we used as the weather was kind to us. The owner is friendly & helpful. Appledore is nearby for a nice walk & lunch and I liked Affinity shopping centre for some nice retail therapy & if you need any supplies Asda is Read moreright next door. The owner left a lovely cream tea & a bottle of wine in the fridge so nice touch which made us feel welcome. Hide
