Lovely converted barn, very comfortable. The donkeys at the bottom of the garden were great and both the children and us enjoyed hearing and seeing them. The property was clean and comfortable, the location was quiet the only downside was the nearest shop was a 15 minute drive away

The cottage is truly a home from home. Even down to having tea, coffee and hot chocolate ready on arrival. The bottle of wine was a lovely touch also. The place is lovely and homely and we had a brilliant time. The beds are AMAZING and the pup loved the garden which is nice and secure and we could relax knowing he wasnt going anywhere he shouldnt!

A lovely property with a safe and secure garden for a large dog. Only a short drive to some lovely places to see and walk, like Clovelly, Hartland Abbey and just a little further to Northam Burrows Country Park with its lovely large sandy beach. We had a wonderful week here.

Lovely well equipped cottage, very quiet location. The only thing really that I would have liked would be some dog walks close to the cottage. You have to get in the car to get to any. Not a major problem because it is worth it when you get there.
