The location is highly praised for its stunning views, private beach access, and proximity to walking trails. The scenic North Devon coast adds to the charm, making it a highlight for many guests.
Guests found the cottages comfortable, with cosy interiors and comfortable beds. However, some noted issues with cramped spaces and the inconvenience of a downstairs bathroom for those with mobility issues.
While the renovated cottages and farm experience are appreciated, there are mixed reviews about the facilities. Complaints about plumbing issues, poor TV quality, and lack of individual gardens suggest room for improvement.

The welcome cream tea mentioned by a guest indicates a level of thoughtfulness. However, as this is not consistently referenced, it's clear that such gestures are appreciated but not guaranteed for every stay.

The cottages are really comfortable, well maintained and with everything you need and the access to the private beach and North Devon coastal path is great. Scenery is stunning and it's a perfect place to escape to and relax. The owners at the main farm were very friendly and I have already recommended to friends and family
