  The cottage first of all was spotless.

  So much attention to detail. There was milk and a lovely box of biscuits on arrival, very welcome after a long drive. We've stopped in a lot of holiday cottages and this one is definitely one of the better ones. The simple things that make a holiday cotrage have all been thought of. Everything you need for washing up, laundry, loo roll, foil, cling film...I could go on! There was plenty of crockery etc, again spotlessly clean. The bed was super comfy with lovely bedding. We took our own throws for the furniture....we have a dog, but these were also provided along with bowls, toys and even a dog bed in the dining area. Parking is limited, but that's made clear and we parked a 5 minute walk away and it wasn't an issue. I wouldn't say Bideford wowed me, but the wider area is so beautiful, even in late March and we like to go and visit different places so were just looking for a base. I can't reccomend the cotrage highly enough. Enclosed quiet garden and great communication from Debbie. We were lucky on the whole with the weather considering the time of year. Went to Appledore, Instow, Minehead, Lynton and Lynmouth, Padstow and loads of places inbetween. Dog friendly beaches a plus and they were huge! For value for money I can't say anything more than book !

  Where can we start!

  What a wonderful break and a beautiful cottage over looking the rolling hills of Parkham. We have 3 young children (6 and 8 year old twins) and they loved the farm and the waking up the the sheep on the fields beside the cottage. The two chickens are child friendly and the children loved holding and feeding them. Most of all Susan and Tom (or as our children referred to him as Farmer Tom) were amazing with the children and always on hand for help or advice on things to do on a rainy day. You could not get anyone better than them. A few nights where rather cold so we lit the fire and listened to the peace and quite outside. If you get lost on route google map it and drop a pin this is the easiest way to find the cottage. We will definitely look to return here as it was so peaceful and beautiful. Also a great location for the busier places such at Bideford and Westward Ho. Thanks again to Tom and Susan for such a memorable holiday.

  Just returned from a weeks break at Bank Hall Farm.

  A lovely farm cottage in a delightful setting, nestling in a valley next to the river Yeo. It was comfortable, warm and so, so quiet. The only sounds to be heard are sheep and chickens! The cottage is surrounded by rolling farmland views and is just the ticket for a peaceful break away. On arriving at the cottage, we found a cream tea waiting for us, which nicely puts you in the mood for a Devon holiday. Our hosts were so friendly and welcoming - nothing was too much trouble. The farm owner is a keen fisherman and on our departure he presented is with a 1.2kg river trout - delicious! Sadly we weren't blessed with the best of weather, but we found lots of places to visit (the Harltand peninsula is beautiful!) and Bude is a lovely, classical seaside town. And the pasties!! There's a big retail park approximately 15 minutes away with everything you could possibly need, including the cheapest fuel for miles. Thoroughly recommended.

  What can I say, a fantastic little hideaway in the beautiful rolling hills of north devon.

  The drive there is a bit tricky so follow the directions you receive from the owner. But once we arrived we were very happy with the beautiful little cottage on the side of the owners own home. We hardly saw them but when we did we found them lovely and friendly. We even had warm scones and jam waiting for us on our arrival. The cottage is lovely and clean with everything you need, with a large inglenook fireplace which is a god send on a chilli night. The pub is a 20min walk away but be warned its up a steep hill thats tricky in the dark. however once there the landlady was so lovely she even gave us a lift back. (the bell inn). I would say there is zero phone signal and wi fi only in one spot in the cottage so prepare to be cut off from the world for a while. which we found delightful. This is a working farm with chickens and sheep. we found it lovely and would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to get away from it all.

  A great house,clean and inviting.

  There was milk in the fridge and a nice box of biscuits waiting for us. It was a pleasure to use the very well equipped kitchen,which we made use of a lot,due to the fact that we did not have good weather during our stay. The garden was a bonus for my dog,safe and enclosed. I loved all the little handmade" seaside" ornaments and various pictures around the property. Parking was an issue close to the property,but we were able to find spaces each day in nearby streets,which saved on paying parking fees for the near by car park. I found the stairs very challenging,and would not recommend for anyone with mobility issues or young children. A hand rail placed on the left side wall on leaving the bathroom i feel would be of benefit. I suggest a chair to be put in the double bedroom for somewhere to place your clothes at night,due to the room having no wardrobe or hanging space. A good base to visit Devon's coastline.
