Well equipped cottage for a large group, family or friends. Situated in a working farm, you very much get to experience rural life. This part of the world is great for coastal walking, and a few other places of interest, Clovelly for example. Make sure you bring in lots of supplies, the nearest local shop is several miles away, for basics only. BotRead moreh Kristina and Tom who manage the farm are on hand and very responsive.

Lovely accommodation and comfortably fit 9 adults, a toddler and a dog. We didn't feel on top of eachother at all. Great number of bathrooms and bedrooms were spacious. Nice to say hi to the cows in the morning. Village of Clovelly and the coast not far away at all and great for family and dog walks .

We had the best time for my mums 80th with the family, Kristina kindly showed a few of the family round the farm and fed the calves which our 3 year old loved and watched out the window in the evening feeding and bedding down the cattle. Very warm and inviting cottage in a very quiet area an excellent time had by all of us, we will be back.
