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
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!
I found our accommodation fantastic, it was in a beautiful setting with so much charm and character. I can not fault any part of the barn, from the moment I stepped in it took my breath away with its size, decor , and style . The owner had thought of everything inside and out providing us with the perfect set to enjoy our stay and make it special . I would like to say the owners were wonderful and it is a credit to them.
Lovely cottage with excellent accessible facilities in a beautiful location. The friendly owners are on hand to give any support or advice.
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
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.
Great location,Barn was beautifully furnished and decorated. However,the table and chairs were too high,not comfortable to sit at.It would also be great to have somewhere to do hair and makeup in bedroom.Second night we were woken by someone trying to get in.Fifth night a man was outside our bedroom talking on the phone at 1.08am.
Courtyard Cottage is a beautiful place to stay. The cottage has been lovingly renovated and decorated and is incredibly comfortable in beautiful surroundings. The owners are very welcoming and accommodating. A lovely welcome pack is left for you. Everything about this stay has been well thought through - a beautiful home from home.
We would say that the Shippon is a very high end holiday let. Everything has been well thought through and is very warm and comfortable and done to a high standard. The outside space with hot tub and plenty of comfortable seating. It makes a really lovely place to sit at the end of a day exploring all of the North coast line not far from you. Also the bonus of being dog friendly. Plenty of thought for your pet is catered for. Looking forward to a return visit .
We stayed at Seaweed for a week at the end of August and could nott fault it. The house was bright and well equipped and exactly as described the web site. Often properties that sleep 6 provide 6 cups, 6 plates etc. but not Seaweed there were double figures of most things. All the appliances where like new and the furniture was very comfortable. We has 2 cars, a VW Polo and Honda Jazz, both of which we were able to park outside the property. A special mention and thanks to Nikki who went above and beyond what you would normally expect and excellent communication and provided a much apprec...more
This is our second stay at Seagulls, and we hope to return. It is a very comfortable, clean holiday home in probably the best location in St Mawes. Everything you could need is provided and there are spectacular views from most rooms and the terrace and garden. Lovely that they allow dogs to stay. Huge, dog proof garden, that runs down to the sea. A very pretty and quiet beach just a few minutes walk along the coast path at the bottom of the garden and St Mawes centre just a very pleasant 10/15 minute stroll away. Great value and highly recommended.
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!
A last minute decision to go away for half term led us to Ford Hill Cottage and it was wonderful. On arrival we were met by Adam who showed us around the property and presented us with the most generous of welcome hampers. Adam and Janet were always available but never ‘got in the way’ - perfect hosts. The cottage is far more spacious than the pictures suggest and is furnished to a high standard and we particularly liked the extremely comfortable beds. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need but with a fantastic range of pubs and restaurants within a 20 minute drive you may find ...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!
A really lovely stay in nicely located accommodation. All very clean and tidy. A nice short walk to the centre and to the beach. We have already booked for next year.
Nice cottage down a long narrow country lane. Very warm with underfloor heating Kitchen very small with modest fridge, we made the mistake of doing a Tesco shop prior to arriving. Pubs a 4 mile drive.
We had a wonderful stay at the Shippen - the location, just a short walk away from town and Readymoney Beach, was perfect for us and our kids aged 9 and 11. The house is well equipped and had everything we needed for the week. The only thing we hadn't expected was that access to the kids' bedroom is through the double, making for very little privacy for parents!
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 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.
grill pan left in a disgusting state in the oven upon arrival. Stain on pillowcase and outside terrace steps covered in leaves potentially slippy if wet. Spiral staircase more tricky than expected.But,. Overall a fabulous holiday and the issues raised should easily be rectified.
We loved our visit to Coast view. Brilliant location to visit with 3 Babies under two and a teenager. House clean and comfortable and plenty of space for us all. Wonderful to have beach on the doorstep and the wonderful garden to the rear. Only two negatives would have loved a bigger fridge and the sun beds needed a bit of a clean. But these are small things and really would not deter us from visiting again. Thank you My Favourite Cottages you were helpful, informative and nothing was too much trouble. Always quick to respond to any queries and we’re always so professional.
A well converted farm building. Big beds, very comfortable. Could do with storage space for empty cases during the holiday. Prompt response to hot water problems.
A very enjoyable stay , despite the weather. All that we needed was available .Would recommend stay for a family with easy access to beaches and towns .
Stsyed here with my extended family and had the best time. The kitchen/lounge spaced worked really well for us as we were able to keep an eye on the little ones whilst we cooked etc. The kitchen was really well stocked with all the equipment you could possibly need. The outside space was beautiful and very peaceful. The kids loved running around the play area, it provided lots of entertainment. Location was great, short drive to both Ilfracombe and Woolacombe and quick drive to a big shop.
Beautiful well equipped and comfortable cottage adapted discreetly for wheelchair use. A little misleading regarding the washing machine as it is not in the cottage itself but available if required in a communal area attached to the owner’s house. Very helpful owners on site Well located to visit local attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed cycling the Tarka Trail. Thanks for a lovely stay
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!!
The farmhouse was lovely. I loved the separate snug room in which the children watched videos. The location was great. Quiet, no noise part from wildlife. Great size garden and patio. Farmhouse had everything we needed for an enjoyable holiday.
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
Great views, very comfortable beds,and brilliant showers. Just what is needed in any holiday cottage. The oven was a bit complicated to use but sorted when we found the instruction book
We loved the location of the cottages and grounds and beautiful lake. However the downside to Blare Cottage is that there was no view from any window and it was quite dark downstairs. Good for short stay and ideally located for the wonderful beaches that are not far away In a car and the surrounding countryside. But disappointing because of positioning of Blare Cottage.
Our second time at the house. Great spot, directly across the road ad car park from the beach and the excellent Beachcomber cafe, with parking space for 2 cars and private lawn. Wraparound terrace with ample seating, outside dining area, gas BBQ, large hot tub, external hot shower, all as described. The ground floor open plan kitchen / dining / sitting room with internet TV is super, with huge windows and a high ceiling. It is equipped with virtually everything, including a Nespresso machine (original pods) (but no milk frother). The two first floor bedrooms are enormous, with huge windo...more
We have stayed in better accommodation for less money so we will probably not visit north Devon again and stick with property on the south coast .
We had the most wonderful time at Biallid House - it was the perfect place to bring the family together, and the perfect location for exploring our family history in the Cairngorms. We had a fantastic time and are already planning to come back! Thanks for everything
Lovey accommodation. Plenary of room for 6 people. Views are amazing. So lovely to wake up to a sea view.
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
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.
Very comfortable, and in a great location. The countryside is magnificent. The fishing is mostly dependent on spates.
Warm, comfortable stay. Quiet and family friendly. Lots to do locally. Really enjoyed our holiday. Many thanks!
We had extended family together of 23 in total staying at the property. Plenty of space for all of us. The views are amazing and the property has large spacious rooms.
Well out of the way, a relaxing break. Village shop and pub a credit to the residents. 25 minutes to a choice of beaches. Give it a go!!
We had everything we needed at the cottage & the owners were there in a heartbeat if we wanted any information at all. The concrete steps down to the patio area may be a challenge for a toddler but there aren’t many. I was very happy to learn that access to the lake was through several gates and so not accessible to our child. We found the cottage spotless. Such a lovely spot and glad we found it. We would come again.
We had a fantastic weekend in the lodge. Amazing location surrounded by fantastic scenery. Would visit again.
Perfectly situated in the lovely village of Braunton. Great coastal walks for you and your dogs. Braunton Burrows is 20 minute walk from this lovely property, and saunton Sands is a 6 minute drive away. So many Beautiful places to visit, too many to mention. Pubs and restaurants on your doorstep. The cottage is well equipped and cosy. The garden is amazing, the dogs absolutely loved it, zoomies first thing in the morning is unheard of. Will will be returning.
Good points: the house was large and in a secluded location. The appliances (cooker, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine were all new and of high quality. So too were the kitchen utensils. The beds were clean and comfortable. Points that could be improved: there was a broken window in the shower room and some of the walls had holes in them. The downstairs toilet did not flush unless you removed the lid from the cistern and manually flushed it. There was a huge cobweb in the en-suite bathroom to Bedroom 1. The towels were frayed and could do with being replaced. Major pr...more
Good accommodation great location House was opposite beach and Instow being a small village was close to everything in Instow Great view from balcony were you can sit out and admire beautiful views also great at night time with the lights from Appledore town Would stay again and off road parking a big help just a little tight to get on to drive from road but achievable over all a good stay
It’s a comfortable and well-equipped house with some wear and tear, especially some issues with moisture in the home. Overall would recommend.
Just returned from a week at the Byre. Very nice property, well positioned for exploring North Devon.
The cottage was very clean and well stocked with cleaning materials. The kitchen has everything you need. The place is cosy and welcoming. The narrow road to the cottage is typical of Devon lanes so care is needed. A small friendly shop in the small town. A short drive to a large Tesco where you can stock up. The mattress in the main bedroom is appalling and must be changed. I slept terribly! The Wi-fi is intermittent bear this in mind if it is an integral part of your stay.
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
