Lovely quiet weekend

We had a lovely peaceful weekend away here. Lynda was very welcoming even though we arrived 5 hours late due to motorway closure. Nice secluded woodland for the dogs to roam about in. Well equipped cottage and comfortable beds which is always a bonus.

Teleurgesteld

Wij zouden 3 nachten verblijven in dit huis. Bij binnenkomst roken we direct een onaangename, muffe lucht. Het huis is heel donker, vochtig en klein. Het ziet er allemaal erg gedateerd uit, zoals de vloerbedekking (vlekken), de banken en de badkamer (heel klein, toilet spoelde lastig door). Het tuinmeubilair zat onder de vogelpoep. De bedden waren wel goed. Wij vonden het zo oncomfortabel dat we een dag eerder zijn vertrokken. Helaas geen aanrader dit.

Tranquil Relaxing Stay

A lovely location with full use of the grounds which we greatly enjoyed, strolling with our dog around the pond and the meadow and sitting out in the secluded garden when the weather permitted. The house was comfortable and well equipped, and best of all, peaceful. The house is well located for visiting the countryside and north coast of Devon. A slight quibble, in that, on a cold wet first day, the house was not warm enough, but that was quickly remedied with the owners, who were very helpful throughout.

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.

Great short stay

The house was clean and fully equipped. It was a bit on the chilly side in early April, but we lit the fire a couple of times which really helped to warm the cottage up. The owners were really helpful, friendly and accommodating, and it was reassuring they were just next door to assist with anything. We had a great few days exploring the coast mainly and the cottage was a fantastic base for us!

Perfect getaway

We loved our stay at No Place. The owners were very helpful and welcoming. Cottage was really cosy. The thing that hit us the most was how peaceful it was! Lovely grounds to explore around the cottage itself. I would highly recommend a visit to the fabulous Rosemoor Gardens which are only about 15 minutes away. And The Globe Inn at Beaford does a fabulous Sunday roast! We very much hope we get the chance to go back and stay here again.

Lovely setting and cottage

Lovely cottage and location, if you want to get away from town/city life. We took our two dogs and the Springer especially loved the grounds, woodland and wildflower meadow. Close enough to great walks and a drive to the beaches. Plenty to see and do in the greater area. Superb communication from the owner throughout the booking process and the extra basket of goodies on arrival after a 5hr trek was much appreciated. 😃 Recommended.

Lovely Peaceful Location

Comfortable cottage with an eco friendly ethos, very rural and quiet. We enjoyed our stay, sadly didn't get to explore much of the grounds due to a fractured foot which was a shame. Warm welcome from Lynda who was able to recommend a couple of places with flat walks for us to explore.

Beautiful cottage

We had a lovely week here. The cottage was charming and very comfortable. I particularly appreciated the eco-friendly modifications which have been made to the property :) Lynda and David were very friendly and welcoming and were happy to suggest places for us to visit. The gardens were beautiful and fun to explore. Our little dog loved running around the meadow and in the woodland area. The kids spent a lot of time in the hammock and the treehouse. Thoroughly recommend, and would love to go back sometime.

A beautiful place

Beautiful grounds, lovely spacious house, all great quality furniture, fittings , decor and new beds- extremely comfortable. Very quiet, beautiful meadow, garden and woodland- great for children and dog. A few bumpy tracks locally but great base to reach the beaches and costal villages. All in all a really place to spend quality family time.

Fabulous cottage in a stunning location

My family and I had a wonderful time during our stay. Upon arrival we were stunned by the setting which included woodland, a wild flower meadow and a tranquil pond teeming with wildlife - perfect for spending some quality time as a family. The cottage is well equipped, clean and cosy. A real home from home. Lynda made us feel immediately welcome and recommended some local highlights to visit including some stunning beaches and scenic walks. I can't recommend the cottage, or the hosts, highly enough.
