A lovely comfortable cottage with everything you need for a family holiday. We loved the hot tub, pool and the fishing lake. The host, Sophie is very welcoming and helpful and we had a really lovely time. There is plenty to do close by and this is a great base to explore the local area.

Lovely large cottage with good access and plenty of parking, great house for group get together. Large sitting rooms with separate tv room, and separate lounge with fire and tv. Large kitchen, with all the necessities you require on holiday. Hot tub, surface large pool (kept clean regularly by the owner) and large shared grass area. Garden with cottage secure for your dogs, although pebbles, so not grassed. Local pub a bit rough and ready, but a selection of dog friendly pubs within 15 minutes. Tarka trail around 10 minutes by car, 30 minutes by car to the coast. Overall we were very happy.
