We checked in for the long weekend and it was just spectacular! The location the views and above all the hosts. They made us feel at home and literally took care of us throughout. I would highly recommend this place for a short trip or even if you are looking to get married as they have done up their new barn now!
This lovely apartment had the 'wow' factor as soon as we went through the door. A stylish kitchen, great showers in the bathroom and ensuite, and new bedding in both rooms. The views from the lounge and bedroom were amazing. Would definitely stay again.
What a find! This beautifully decorated comfortable cottage was located in private grounds with its own secure garden for our dog. Fully stocked with everything you need, a home from home. We loved the boules area as a family, playing in the evenings. Located centrally in Painswick we thoroughly enjoyed a circular walk up to Painswick Beacon, enjoying breathtaking views along the way. (8km). A great base to visit other areas too.
What an amazing time we had on our recent holiday In devon. This self catering accommodation was absolutely fabulous and we will definitely be returning. The location was brilliant. The views were incredible, the owners and the lady who works for them they were all absolutely brilliant with our whole family They looked after us so well and couldn’t do enough for us , the man even brought a little cow to see us and the children, it was just so lovely. Our place was spotless and they had thought of everything. Thank you for a fabulous holiday. We just wished the sun ☀️ would’ve shone a little b...more
Lovely cottage with excellent accessible facilities in a beautiful location. The friendly owners are on hand to give any support or advice.
Absolute fantastic place to stay, great with the children, so much freedom would definitely recommend. The cleanliness was immaculate. Attention to detail is 2nd to none, lovely couple who run the accommodation. Wish the family who are running it all the best in the future. Absolutely brilliant very homely The Theakstone family
Great location and amazing place to stay. Kick back and sit and admire the views. Enjoy preparing the hot tub and look forward to a warm welcome from your hosts. So clean so easy to use. Relax and take time out. This is the perfect place to stay.
We have just had the most delightful stay at Poppys Barn. My parents live in Ilfracombe, and we have stayed in many properties over the last 11 years in Woolacombe and Ilfracombe. Poppys Barn was fantastic. The accommodation was extremely clean. It is beautifully furnished to a high standard, but also maintaining a comfortable and relaxed environment. The beds were comfortable, and the cream tea was a wonderful surprise. If we had to have our arms twisted about anything negative, I would only say the water pressure is low. But it just meant we spent longer in the stunning shower than we usua...more
Over many years we have stayed in at least 100 holiday cottages in Devon and Cornwall. This one makes our top 3. Jan and Tony Hough Salisbury
This cottage is ideally situated if you looking for a quiet break away from the hustle and bustle of life. It has everything you need/want to make sure your holiday is as smooth sailing as you need. From the decor to the utilities and appliances nothing was left unforgotten and the hot tub was an added bonus. Thoroughly enjoyed our break and will definitely keep this one in mind for another year.
We all had a beautiful holiday in seaweed was such a lovely clean & pleasent home to stay in was great that there was a downstairs bedroom & bathroom was perfect for my mum who is 94 yrs the location was perfect.was made even more special to be welcomed with a welcoming pack the Swedish chocolate cake with clotted cream was delicious including the bottle of Prosecco & other treats thankyou to the lovely Nikki & Mark for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home would definitely return again love Maryanne,Eileen,Craig & Joan xx xx xx xx
Our extended family rented four of the cottages for a long weekend and we had a lovely time. The swimming pool, games room and conservatory are such nice sociable spaces and cater for kids and adults alike. The views are gorgeous, the cottages are cosy and the owners are super friendly and helpful. Can't recommend enough!
We enjoyed staying at Ford Hill Cottage previously so we rebooked this year! The cottage was as good, if not better, than we remembered! It is beautifully decorated, equipped and maintained. It has a lovely ambience with everything you might need and more, including a supply of wood for the open fire, a well equipped games room, local maps, board games, a very generous welcome basket and the bonus of a front patio and back garden with seating. The beds are comfy with crisp white linen. The en-suite shower was good and we appreciated toiletries being provided. The kitchen is very well equipped...more
We stayed with extended family in this beautiful and spacious house. Poor weather but great place for exploring Dartmoor. Games room very popular will all!
We've stayed in Lynmouth before and were pleased to find this beautiful south facing apartment giving excellent views, especially of the setting sun in the evening. With a short walk into the village, it was the perfect location for exploring near with all the local walks available and further afield too. Tors Park has such a lovely vibe with all the staff we can across being super friendly. The apartment itself had everything you could possibly want. And the mattress was so comfortable. We slept really well. We were sad to leave.
What can I say? Located in a haven of peace and tranquility. The Hen House is extremely private with fantastic views from the raised decking. So relaxing when using the hot tub at the end of the day. It is furnished to a high standard and the owners have done their best to anticipate their guests' needs. The biscuits and prosecco they left for us was a nice touch. In terms of location, it is a handy base, being within about 30 minutes of most of the North Devon places of interest As you'd expect, being based in a rural area, you need to navigate single lane country roads to get there ...more
Return visit to this lovely apartment. The new owners have continued with the high standards of the previous owner Jenny. Immaculately clean throughout, everything you need for a perfect stay, including some treats. This spacious apartment is very comfortable and a home from home. Great location, parking and views. We will definitely be back soon, thank you to everyone, the cleaner, the hosts and ‘My Favourite Cottages’ for a seamless stay.
We had a great week again at The Shippen I only have a small complaint. We had to hoover the floor as quite a lot of dog hair when we arrived. I know that the cottage allows dogs but it's a bit off putting when it's on the sofa and floor on arrival. Annoying that the people who live in the wooden house opposite the patio, moved their campervan right up to the boundary. Other than that perfect and would come again.
A super cottage which provides an excellent base for our extended family holiday. The cottage was very well equipped and spacious enough to allow 9 of us quality time together but also for each of the 3 family units to have its own space. Spacious inside and outside.
We had a wonderful week at this lovely cottage; it was perfect for my mum with MS and limited mobility using a walker. Facilities are tasteful and not obtrusive and all finished to a high standard. A great rural location with amazing views from the top of the farm but just 10 minutes from Barnstaple and easy to get to all the regional highlights. Wonderful local pub just a mile or so down the road too. Highly recommended, would definitely return.
Lovely stay at Coachman’s, great instructions/directions. Property was spotless, very comfortable and just a few steps from the south coast path. Perfect
We stayed at swallow cottage for a week over the Easter break. The weather wasn't the best but my 2 boy's aged 7 & 11 had plenty to do including dips in the indoor heated swimming pool and fun in the well equipped games room. The hosts we're brilliant and helpful but not intrusive just leaving us to enjoy the stay. They even put on a Easter egg hunt for all the kids staying with cakes and drinks for both children and adults, even the adults had suprise egg's in the hunt! Basically we had a brilliant stay and will almost definitely return for another great holiday.
Stunning views, great location. Great base to explore area, helpful and friendly Tors Park staff. Gorgeous apartment for a special stay! Steep walk (but short walk) down to Lynmouth. Would recommend The Oak room (Tapas) restaurant in Lynton. Had a great meal there. Would definitely stay at Tors Park again in the future.
Tranquil setting being at the end of a private driveway, with ample parking and fantastic views. Walk available from the bottom of the garden along the estuary. Short walk down to the centre of St Mawes. Comfortable seating and dining for our party of 7. Beds quite firm but overall very spacious well equipped accommodation. Amanda very helpful with booking queries. Good directions given to the property. Consensus from our party was that we loved our stay at Seagulls and St Mawes and also taking the ferry to Falmouth.
Fab! Host so kind and helpful. Lovely cottage. Clean and comfortable. Close to amazing beaches. No problems at all.
We had a week at Springfield Linny The views and the cottage we’re superb very quiet and peaceful (Except for the cows mooing at the crack of dawn) Everything was as described the owner was very quick to respond and sort out any problems Unfortunately as we were there in June we had a problem with flies invading the cottage and couldn’t open the doors or windows which was a shame
We had an extremely comfortable stay in the wonderful Coast View property in May 2025. The property is brilliantly situated with quick and easy access to the beach. The house was very spacious and kitted out with everything we could possibly need. It was also extremely child friendly which was perfect for our younger guests who loved the playroom. A lovely house which we feel privileged to have had the use of for a week - we would not hesitate to return.
Large property with a nice location. Pently of bedrooms with outside setting. Can recommend this self cattery property
had alovely stay here- a few issues but these were sorted quickly. everyone was very happy here espcially with the gardens
Hi, i stayed in apartment 20, a one bedroom apartment. The whole location has been renovated to a very high standard, curtesy lights abound in the hallways and grounds so you never miss a step. Inside the accommodation it’s quality and new throughout, sharp knives, clean ovens, a very efficient and easy to light log burner, the heating is very efficient to so turn down the radiators if you light the fire. There is absolutely nothing that disappoints here. IMO, the only flaw/ drawback, is that it’s on a very high cliff, fabulous for views but if your not mobile then walking out to go for meals...more
We have two young kids and staid in the Tallet Upper. It’s a very beautiful spot with views from every window!!! The house is warm and well equipped for cooking. The shower has great water pressure and always had hot water. The kids also loved the big bath tub. The surrounding grounds are beautiful, clearly well maintained with space for the kids to roam and an outdoor eating area. Easy parking near the house. Lots to do and see within an easy drive. A great holiday spot!!
We had a good stay at the lodge. Need to read the conditions info as I missed the section on what is not supplied
Our second stay here at Talland Croft. Everything was set up according to our wishes, thanks to Lisa for this. Very clean, spacious and very accommodating house. The utility is an absolute godsend when you have so many wetsuits, cozzies and towels to sort daily. Fabulous kitchen with quality tableware with 2 fridges....1 for the beer and wine! Bedrooms all really good. The family bathroom would definitely benefit with a fixed shower over the bath, but we managed by sharing the en-suites. Superb, safe garden for the family and dogs, for bbqs and star gazing. We took an extra washing l...more
What a lovely place .. The owners and their daughter were so welcoming especially to my little girl who is desperate for me to re book it all again .. Can’t wait to go back .. Perfect holiday.. Thanks so much . Marcus Lilly and family
Wonderful house with the most stunning views of the beach. Had everything you need for a relaxing stay. My only suggestion would be to potentially look to replace the double beds with larger ones. Beds were comfy but could do with a little more room.
Beautiful house in a wonderful setting with some really great views. On the whole we had a very good time and the bedrooms were very nice. Had to repair two showers and only one induction saucepan. The house is really a gem and would need just a little more care with a few things that would need to be a little refurbished. I would highly recommend it.
Best: Cooking on the AGA Beautiful walks direct from the house View, view ,view Atmosphere, open fire Multiple rooms to relax ( and some work..) The best housekeeper Jean, ever
Haven’t been to Woolacombe for 4 years after previously going annually for 12 years - still a lovely family resort with fab beach but we thought some places had gone downhill unfortunately and without The Beachcomber to go to next year we think we might give Woolacombe a miss as there isn’t an abundance of eateries - we did enjoy Miss Fea’s Bistro in Morthoe, The Jube and The Meraki Coffee Co. The house is probably in the best location - it has wonderful sea views that I don’t think can be beaten by any other Woolacombe property. The bedrooms and bathrooms were lovely although it would have...more
Firstly we had a lovely holiday, the location was perfect for us. The house whilst needing a bit of updating (old rusty microwave etc.) is overall okay, with good bathrooms/showers. We had a number of challenges with 7/8 adults staying, which may not be an issue for smaller groups. There is only a very small under counter fridge, which wasn’t working well, certainly not large enough to cater for a week or two for 8 if you plan BBQ/cooking. One of the eight beds is actually a ‘camp bed’ so for an adult was not practical and thus was squeaky. A number of pieces of garden furniture were ...more
We enjoyed our stay at Lakeview, my husband liked the fishing, I did find a bit rural for me as roads very narrow.
Great location Parking and access cause issue for some Clean and tidy property Only 2 of us so cannot comment for larger group(s)
Old world charm country cottage , good size rooms . Limited access to upstairs. Staircase steep not suitable for the elderly. Quiet location with good access for parking but only limited roadway to cottage. I.e only room for one car on roadway on lane.
The cottage was nice,but dark inside always needed a light on in kitchen,very clean and comfortable beds very comfy only downside no mop and bucket no vacuum cleaner,nowhere to hang damp coats or damp towels, could do with some hooks at the back of the doors in bedrooms,but still enjoyed our stay.
We enjoyed our stay at Smithy Cottage . The beds were very comfortable and we loved the beautiful view from the living room . Everything we needed was provided . Our only quibble was with the basin taps in the bathroom which could have been longer it would be easier to wash your hands ! The cottages are down a narrow Devon countryside lane . It was very peaceful and we would return .
Enjoyed our stayed however I did experience some mobility issues with ie with steps up to the cottage and obviously the stairs. Would also have preferred a firmer mattress on the beds too , Thank you
Overall we were very happy with our week at Nuide House. It is not walking distance into Newtonmore but easy access out to the main road for visiting everywhere by car. The furnishings are a little tired but comfortable and I would have liked a bigger kitchen but it worked well for our family. Thank you
Excellent, would highly recommend. Great location, great views. With parking opposite beach and outside decking
Just returned from a week at the Byre. Very nice property, well positioned for exploring North Devon.
We arrived on a cold and wet Friday afternoon to a clean and warm cottage. The cottage had good WiFi coverage but no mobile coverage as it is in a valley so if you want to plan a route out do it before you leave the cottage. Also beware of unmade roads close by that some navigation apps may try and take you down. Fortunately we have a good 4x4 with adjustable suspension so we didn't loose the sump and didn't get stuck.
Excellent location for hills. Helpful & efficient staff. Lovely views. Cottage was well equipped & comfortable for 6-8 walkers with 3 twin rooms & one double & 2 bathrooms.
We booked Diana’s cottage for a weekend with grandchild of 10 months to attend a 90th birthday party in Braunton. First impressions were that we’d walked into faulty towers…it’s a very old building and it looks like the decor hasn’t changed much either …reminded me of my grans house when I was a kid. The views are great and it’s a large property with a huge garden area so if you want quiet then it would be great. The bed linen was clean and crisp. The house was very warm heated by a number of storage heaters and mobile heaters, some of which set too high with a toddler roaming. However f...more
