Fabulous cottage, with lovely hot tub, spacious and clean. Ideally situated for Woolacombe and ilfracombe. High end equipment but the coffee machine is a filter coffee machine not a pod machine which I should have checked and there are no curtains in the lounge, although behind a hedge it meant tractor and the Lorry drivers could see in!

The cottage was a little out of the way, (we were not familiar with the area) but it was very well equipped. It had everything you could possibly need on holiday. The hot tub was great though the trees were a bit overgrown Internet TV took some getting used to !

What a beautiful cottage, superb through out. Very clean, very tidy and well equipped with all your essential needs. The hot tub was fantastic and lovely to end the day in.

Lovely property, well presented and equipped, very clean, with a really comfortable bed. Hot tub is a great extra. Good location with easy access to Ilfracombe and Woolacombe. We definitely recommend "The Thatch" at Croyde for food and it would be nice if it were included on the welcome letter.

A lovely holiday home in a beautiful, scenic area. Set not too far away to allow travel and adventures to secret beaches and coves, walks and days out aplenty.
