July break
Lovely house - great location. We were 3 generations from the same family plus 2 dogs. House was perfect, with private courtyard and access to the garden and off street parking. Owners were very friendly, with recommendations and lovely homemade bread and scones waiting for us upon arrival. Lovely area for exploring North Devon (and beyond), we used it as a base for going to Exmoor and down as far as Padstow. Would definitely recommend the house to others - lovely bedrooms, amazing kitchen/diner - rave reviews from all in our group.
