Cottage holiday rentals in Barnstaple

Linsey was very approachable, always answered any questions. My grandad fell ill the day we were meant to come and she was very understanding as why we couldn’t make it

Are second stay at the cottage, just as good as the first time, we will be back. Ade Tracey & molly

Lovely cottage, had everything we needed for a great week. Well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. All the crockery, utensils and pans you need for cooking. Hot tub was certainly a favourite and well used! Nice to have plastic ‘glasses’ for use outside. Great selection of games was a nice surprise. Being able to walk the dog right from the doorstep made it so easy - we really enjoyed exploring the smallholding. Hosts were very quick to respond with answers and support. Yes, the Tesco delivery man did manage to find us and unload :-)

Very lovely place, me and my girlfriend stayed here for a weekend and had no complaints. The host responded quickly and the property looked exactly like the photos. All the extra little touches like the fire wood, slippers, eggs and etc really made us feel welcome. Overall we really enjoyed our stayed and would happily stay here again.

What an amazing place! We loved the wood burner and all the possible activities: hot tub, heated swimming pool, tennis, table tennis, crash mat, kayak, trampoline , horses, goats, chickens, and much more! it's the perfect place for a holiday with the family, the whole estate is a destination in itself.

The place was really nice and absolutely spotless when we got there. Nigel and Perry were both very nice and helpful and responded very quickly to messages. The only things is one of the windows didn’t have a blind which made it very bright in the mornings and struggled to sleep in. Also the sat nav brought us in a different direction from the directions on the listing which was a little confusing but Nigel was stood outside waiting for us when we arrived so wasn’t really a problem. Just something to mention. Overall it was a really nice stay and would recommend.

A brilliant stay in sues lodge. It’s so close to the beach! It was such an added extra to have a hot tub and the lodge was beautifully clean.

Lesley’s place was perfect for our needs. It was peaceful and it was close to all of the things we wanted to do in the area. The cottage was clean, the kitchen has everything we needed to cook and eat in. It was a bit of a climb to get to the entrance and it was two floors, so anyone with mobility issues should look at that. However, we had a great stay in a very beautiful part of the UK.

Great place to stay. Lovely cottage, beautiful surroundings, not too far from villages & towns. Isobel was perfect host. Would highly recommend

Timberscombe village and the cottage are an utter gem. The cottage is very comfortable. It was lovely to meet the locals in the church and the pub next door, everyone was very friendly. Be sure to visit Dunster Castle!

Wow! Fantastic accommodation - beautiful and tastefully decorated. Everything you need is already thought of. Set in the most idyllic setting with a beautiful walk on doorstep. Simon and Tracey respond immediately. Thank you for the cake guys. Perfect place to stay.

This was our first air b&b We loved our stay at Claire’s pet-friendly annex, It was so nice to find a place that welcomed our dogs. The rural location perfect for morning walks. The setting was incredibly tranquil, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The annex was spotless, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I felt right at home and enjoyed every moment. The welcome goodies (scones, jam and clotted cream, milk, tea and coffee, even some treats for the dogs ) were a lovely touch and were thoroughly enjoyed. A real cozy home from home. Had everything we needed. It was a perfect base for us to visit the beach, friends and family. Highly recommended. We would definitely return. Thank you Claire and David

Excellent accommodation. Peaceful and beautiful surroundings. High standard of cleanliness and clutter-free, yet all facilities we needed. Would 100% stay here again. 20 mins walk to beach. Really great local pub/food.

Fantastic location to explore from. Just a very short drive from Woolacombe but lovely and peaceful. Well equipped cottage and maintained to a high standard. The dog had a great time bounding through the hills and the kids didn’t argue too much about who got the top bunk!

Just come back from a fabulous 5 day stay. Sarah was fantastic, greeted us on arrival and left milk and wine in the fridge for us to enjoy . The property was beautiful and exactly the same as the pictures. The property was super clean and everything was really well thought out for a comfortable stay . Thank you for having us .

Really helpful welcome pack and instructions. Also a collection of maps and guided walk books. This included a guide to all the best doggy beaches and restrictions. Our dog was well catered for with a blanket, bowl, biscuits for treats and spare business bags. There were even dogs on the toilet paper! There were plenty of kitchen utensils and pots. Bed was comfy and there were plenty of towels

A lovely little bolthole in North Devon. Far enough off the beaten track to feel remote, close enough to the bigger towns for entertainment as required. We ate in Georgeham which is a 20 minute walk for some great food in The Kings Arms. The dawn chorus in the morning was a delight to wake up too. Prior to arrival, clear instructions were provided by the host to ensure we found the house with no fuss. Highly recommended.

The place was exactly as advertised if not better, everything in the house was easy to use thanks to the guide given and the responsiveness of our host Simon.

Absolutely stunning location. Beautiful views. So peaceful. The accommodation is of an extremely high standard and has been decorated beautifully. Lots to do in the surrounding area. Would highly recommend.

Stayed here before as we regularly visit family in the area. So have come back for the third time. Lovely and comfortable cottage well fitted out. Has the cosy higgledy piggledy low ceiling charm with a wood stove, but modern decor for a nice mix. Keeps lovely and warm (have to turn down radiators upstairs!) Great pub round the corner in an otherwise small village well located just beyond Barnstaple. Lots of reviews mention the parking. It is a little bit faffy and not ideal if you're not a confident driver, due to being elevated above the house so you park round a corner on a steep hill onto a grassed drive. You then walk back round and it can be a touch muddy to avoid the direct but steep narrow steps down to the house. All said and done it is fine if you are a confident driver and not far to walk round at all. We're perfectly happy with it and hence coming back!

Excellent stay, very friendly host and brilliant amenities! We felt very welcome, including our dog and toddler, and enjoyed using the swimming pool and wandering round the grounds. The location was great for exploring Devon - we enjoyed some lovely days out as well as walks along the beautiful beaches. Would highly recommend Sharron and Stuarts cottages!

We had a lovely stay, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Great property, felt right at home and had everything we needed, loved the decor! Private area, but still a short drive to nearest town/things to do. Lovely location, especially for our dog!

We had a second very comfortable stay.The nights were below freezing , but the cottage was warm and cosy from arrival. Highly recommend Prospect Cottage , it’s in a lovely village with the wonderful Bell inn a few steps away.

lovely spacious accommodation ; extremely peaceful; private. Wonderful to have a hot tub after doing a lot of walking ! Choice of eateries nearby & lots of interesting places to visit. Excellent wifi connection & easy check-in/check-out with the lockbox.
