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 surroundings were lovely and a large enclosed garden was great for the dog and our 3 children. we had many a happy night in the hot tub. Lots of things for the kids to play with. We drove to all the local beaches would say most things are within an hour's drive and would recommend watermouth castle as a day out if you have kids!

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Honeysuckle Cottage. Spotlessly clean and bright. Very well equipped modern kitchen. Comfortable lounge and bedrooms and a sunny conservatory for dining in. Our host Helen welcomed us and a gorgeous cream tea awaited us, together with homemade scones, jam and bread. Milk, butter and eggs also provided. Such attention to detail. The garden is pretty and dog safe. Helen even provided dog bowls and towels and a treat! We would highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.

Such a beautiful little place, Sally provided everything you could need. She was so responsive and gave recommendations for restaurants and pubs. Made our stay so easy and a seamless check in/out. Thanks Sally!!

Would definitely stay here again. Lovely, peaceful surroundings. Hosts thought of everything, all the little thoughtful details made it so welcoming. You can tell that these hosts care. Thank-you.

We had a short sweet stay at the Tower before a trip to Lundy. Westward Ho beach and Appledore village were within walking distance and Bideford harbour (Lundy ferry departure point) was a short drive away. Check in was hassle free, we felt we could have asked if we had any issues (we didn't) the tower itself was lovely and quirky in a peaceful location and had everything we hoped for kitchen, bedroom and bathroom-wise.

We have just returned from a long weekend in North Devon and a stay at Carpenters Cottage, the cottage itself is beautiful, quaint and quirky, we loved it! The roll top bath was fabulous for a long relaxing soak after lots of exploring. The outside space was perfect for us, just a nice space to sit and enjoy a drink of an evening. The log burner, whilst we didn’t use it, had everything you would need to be super cosy. Our host Jon, was spot on with directions etc and recommendations and super helpful going above and beyond with requests I made prior to arrival, thank you 🙏🏻. We would have no problems in recommending Jon and Carpenters Cottage 😊

A lovely week away in this beautiful cottage. Lovely space to be and lots of great things to do in the surrounding area such as Hartland Quay, Instow and Braunton! We will definitely be back here again!

Perfect for my friend and i very comfortable & peaceful. We picked it for our short break because it was near to the places we wished to visit, RHS Rosemore, Instow & Appledore & the Burton Gallery at Bideford. So a very succeßful break all round. Would recomend

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!

Lovely stay with our family here. Fiona was forthcoming with local recommendations and instructions about check in which were very useful. House was in a lovely location making most places walkable. Very accommodating of our young children with high chairs etc. provided.

Marc and Amy were fantastic hosts! They provided everything promised. The cottage was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Their attention to detail and thoughtfulness toward their guests is apparent. Marc gave us a thorough tour and history of the property which was fascinating - especially coming from the states where buildings aren’t nearly that old! Our only honest regret is that we didn’t book a few more days so we could spend more time on the property to explore and appreciate the hard work they’ve put into its upkeep and restoration.

I think the photos for this house don't make it justice, the place is amazing! I am pretty sure it was one of our best finds on Airbnb, the kitchen area was a dream! It was perfectly cleaned and cozy, we wished we had more time to spend here!

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.

Fantastic location for walking, 2 minutes to beach, pub and cafe on hand. short drive to ilfracombe Town. peaceful relaxing location.

Anna has created a perfect little home from home in a beautiful little town that is well worth a visit. From the minute you walk through the door everything is just as you would like. Cozy cottage furniture and great amenities. The kitchen is wonderfully well equipped and the beds upstairs are very comfortable (and I’m picky!) with lovely bedding and plenty of other accessories. The backyard is small but very private. You can hang stuff out at the end of the day if you’ve been at the beach and know it’s going to be dry even if you have to put it under the covered area over the back door. There’s a very handy hose pipe there to get the sand off your wetsuit too! That’s a hint that we went to Woolacombe and enjoyed the surf. Coming home and relaxing in Anna‘s place was just what you needed after a day in the waves. highly recommended.

Really nice stay. Ruth was helpful & responded quickly. The house slept 4 of us comfortably and was lovely & warm. It couldn’t have been better for access to the beach where winter dipping in the sea meant we could get back quickly & warm up. Highly recommended & Hele Bay is one of the nicest spots you could hope for.

We had a lovely stay a Rock Cottage. It's beautifully furnished, comfortable and had everything we needed to relax after a day walking or beach dwelling! Morthoe is a very pretty little village that has everything you need and Woolacombe is not far at all, a very scenic walk away. We enjoyed Barricane beach with its cafe and sheltered waters for a swim. We hope to return. Thank you Anya 😊

We had a great holiday staying at 'SeaCrest' in Combe Martin. Both Paul and Becki our hosts were very helpful. The cottage is beautifully furnished with a modern interior. The cottage is right on the beach almost, a perfect location for eateries as well. Although the cottage is next to the pub, this was never an issue, no noise problems and we found the parking simple and always found a space, although we were there in term time. We found plenty to do in the area and loved the countryside and walking the coastal path. We drove to some places but also used the hourly bus service. everywhere was family friendly. We will be back!

Huge thanks to Paul for being such a lovely host, really useful directions to get there and super welcoming once we arrived. We were staying for a wedding in the area and he was helpful with directions and recommendations. I also forgot something and he lent me some from his own property which was very kind. Absolute gem, would love to come back one day!
