Tolles Cottage in super Lage für zahlreiche Ausflüge
Das Cottage entspricht genau und im positivsten Sinne den Beschreibungen. Innen gemütlich und schön eingerichtet, das Grundstück riesig. Lynda und David waren stets super hilfsbereit und freundlich. Zu unserer Überraschung ist das Cottage bislang selten von Besuchern aus Kontinentaleuropa gebucht wurden. Um Umkreis von 30-90 Minuten gibt es unendlich viele Ausflugsziele. Die Strände von Nord-Devon genauso wie die im Süden, oder sogar schon Cornwall. Exmoor und Dartmoor eignen sich hervorragend für mehrmalige Besuche an unterschiedlichen Orten. Insgesamt können wir das Cottage nur empfehlen, und hoffen es in den nächsten Jahren auch nochmal hin zu schaffen.

So relaxing
No Place really is like no other place! Surrounded by beautiful countryside and so very quiet and peaceful. Great touristy spots within driving distance, eg Bideford, Barnstaple, Woolacombe and Ilfracombe. Would recommend one of the local pubs, The Globe Inn, at Beaford too - great food! We hope to visit No Place again.

Relaxing Rural Break
The property owners we lovely, low key, helpful and friendly. Nestling into the fields and trees and attached to the adjoining the owners house, this beautiful country hideaway was superbly appointed. Very comfortable, cosy, spacious, all mod cons including fully functioning wifi. The private hedged and lawned garden in front of the property was in full summer bloom and at our disposal, complete with table and chairs and fire pit which we made good use of, the owners provided wood for us too! Set within a large magical woodland and wild meadows, along with a large pond with jetty, this private and well kept hideaway had commanding views over the surrounding views over the southern hills and wide open sky. Winding narrow lanes soon lead you out to the main roads making north Devon attractions easily reachable. We're going back and you should investigate too as it will exceed your expectations.

A perfect walking week
Comfortable and homely rental to base ourselves from for a week exploring North Devon and the South West Coastal path. Beautiful garden, peaceful location. Lynda, our host, couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating.
