    “The property was absolutely perfect for us.”

    We stayed here for a family holiday, my mum, my sister, my brother and his wife and 2 yr old son. We also bought our 2 dogs. Starting with the dogs, it was perfect for them. It was a secure garden and there was plenty of room for them to run around. On the doorstep for a perfect footpath which leads you through the woods along a coastal path or through the fields where there is plenty of room to explore off the lead. Also a private mini beach for the dogs to swim in when the tide is in. The accommodation was fabulous with 2 good size double bedrooms and 2 smaller single bedrooms. One point was that was not much space for wardrobes in the single bedrooms or drawers in one of the single rooms so when unpacking clothes there wasn’t much space for hanging clothes, this wasn’t really an issue for us though. Each bedroom has an en-suite although the single bedrooms shared a shower room but this was not an issue for us as there was another shower room upstairs. We had a slight issue with flooding in the shared bathroom but this was quickly resolved by the owners maintenance team. The upstairs area was bright and spacious with a quiet room and fabulous views. The kitchen was well equipped, although we could find any cereal bowls for breakfast (tbh this is just a personal preference for us) there were plenty of plates, mugs, glasses etc. the welcome pack of scones, jams, clotted cream, milk was perfect and enjoyed very much by my 82 year old mum. When we arrived we did have an issue with opening the main door to the property. We did find the doors complicated to unlock, we tried to follow the instructions but ended up calling the property owner who helped us get in. Because we sometimes went out at separate times we just kept the keys in the key safe so we could get back in. There is availability to charge an EV and found this very useful, this was unclear when we booked as it wasn’t advertised on the description of the property, but this was definitely a plus point for me as I didn’t have to search the local area to be able to charge my car. On the whole the property was perfect for us and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. If we get the opportunity again to be together as a family we will definitely re-book this as a base for us. The property is perfectly located for trips around North Devon, we particularly enjoyed visiting Westward Ho! Clovelly, Bideford and Instow. But we know the area well as our grandparents used to live in Bideford so was lovely to remember family holidays. The Tarka Trail on the opposite side of the river offers a perfect safe walk for families with plenty of safe bike riding and loads of parking at reasonable prices to leave your car behind. Massive thanks to the property owner for being prompt when we had to contact him. Was a pleasure to enjoy the property and surrounding area.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and thoughtful review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your whole family — including the dogs! — had such a wonderful holiday together. It’s great to know the garden and nearby walks were a hit with your four-legged friends, and that the accommodation suited everyone’s needs so well. We really appreciate your feedback about the storage in the single bedrooms — it’s something we’ll certainly look into to improve future stays. We’re glad the small hiccups with the bathroom and door were swiftly resolved, and thank you for your patience. It’s also helpful to hear your comments about the EV charging point and cereal bowls — those little details really do make a difference, and we’ll work on making things clearer and more complete. It means a lot to us that your stay brought back fond family memories of the area. We’d be absolutely thrilled to welcome you all back again in the future! Charlie Property Owner
