Excellent value for money in a lovely setting. Close to all the best of North Devon. The pool is still fantastic, the beds comfy and the towels fluffy. The cottage was always warm and cosy.

Cosy cottage in a beautiful part of Devon. Lovely warm swimming pool that the kids loved plus the air hockey in the games room. Had lovely days out to woolacombe, cycling on the Tarka trail, visiting Combe Martin wildlife and dinosaur park and Arlington court. Plenty to do within a 30 minute drive

A very comfortable cottage. Extremely clean with all the equipment we required. The swimming pool was lovely and warm as was the jacuzzi . We were lucky to have it to ourselves when it opened in the morning. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Although the weather was very wet at times it was a convenient place to be. It is best to approachRead more it from the South as recommended on travel instructions as this is the best way. We would not hesitate to return again at this time of the year. Hide

Lovely cottage with plenty for the kids to enjoy. The pool was clean, well maintained and warm, the children showed no signs of shivering even after a prolonged dip. Well located for day trips to the beach and other local attractions.

What a gorgeous location! Our days with kiddos were perfect - breakfast, pool, lunch and beach in Ilfracombe or Woolacombe, pool, dinner! With stops to see the pony and donkeys or play in the games room along the way. Hot tub and sauna were a great bonus for us parents, too.
