About this property
Set down its own private country lane, in a secluded position, this charming country cottage is located amidst breath-taking countryside with distant views of the dramatic coastline of North Devon. Whether you are planning a romantic break for two or a family holiday, this retreat has everything you need to feel right at home. Upon entering, you will be welcomed by a country-style kitchen, housing necessary essentials and a dining table where everyone can gather together in the evening. For more quality time, the characterful sitting room hosts a sofa and arm chairs, along with a woodburner and inglenook fireplace, so you can relax amongst the warm ambience with your loved ones. On the ground floor you will also find a cloakroom complete with a wash stand. Take the stairs up to the nicely decorated double bedroom, finished to a high standard with a traditional feel. If you are looking for extra space, perhaps for the children, a family bedroom offers a double bed, as well as children's bunks. And conveniently, both rooms have a delightful en-suite shower room. Resting on an award-winning working farm, and close to a wealth of attractions, there is much to see around the area, from National Trust's Arlington Court, the resorts of Ilfracombe, to Lynton and Lynmouth. A little further afield is the ancient town of Barnstaple, with its Doomsday associations and here you can find a good selection of shops, restaurants and a museum. Or, if you simply prefer to watch the world go by then visit the quiet harbours and picturesque ports or enjoy a leisurely cream tea at a traditional Country Inn before returning to Mary`s Cottage for a well-earned rest. A memorable retreat not to be missed.
This seaside resort, with all of the necessary amenities, is a great attraction to locals and visitors alike, and is home to a very popular beach as well it's own Dinosaur Park! Combe Martin is home to the historic Earl of Rone festival held in May each year and has an annual carnival in August. This is an ideal base for touring, and discovering the delights of North Devon, with Lynton and Lynmouth, Woolacombe, Croyde Bay, Saunton Sands, Ilfracombe and Barnstaple all within easy reach.

Very helpful and pleasant owners. Highly recommended if you like a working farm environment. Only negative would be the general instructions from the email to identify the farm. To state it is between two areas if you are not local is confusing especially in conjunction with âlook for the cider farm signâ when you are not aware it is the cider farm. Itâs easy when you know but not after a long journey.

Our hosts, Sue and Mark, were very welcoming and friendly, and suggested some great places to visit locally. We were greeted with a lovely home made cream tea, and were able to take advantage of the cider produced on the farm too, which is delicious! A little out of the way so we needed to use the car every day, but worth it for the peace and quiet. Highly recommended.

The garden space is a relaxing joy. It's a lovely place to unwind and "get away" from the world whilst being close to coastal and inland attractions and walks. Our hosts were helpful and welcoming whilst not being intrusive. This was our second stay and every bit as enjoyable as the first. Bridget
