Lovely cottage set in a peaceful and scenic location on a small dairy farm.
Lovely cottage set in a peaceful and scenic location on a small dairy farm. No earlier morning wake up calls from the livestock. Hosts friendly. Great base for exploring the surrounding area.

Great dog-friendly accommodation, in a quiet location on a Devon farm.
Great dog-friendly accommodation, in a quiet location on a Devon farm. Not for you if you want wine bars, discos or fast food close by.Quiet, shaded garden for the evening sun, and for the dog. A barn owl lives across the road and a sparrowhawk patrols the sky. Friendly hosts were accessible but were not intrusive. Several walks on nearby quiet, rural lanes if you feel active.Nearby town of Bideford has all necessary amenities. We would recommend and visit again.
