The location was perfect, close to Barnstaple but a quiet countryside setting. Great woodburner, well equipped kitchen, individual touches on the decor, the welcoming basket of cider, biscuits and crisps and the fun quiz to solve with a reward.
Minor point but failed to master the shower to stop the water coming from overhead.

Great location very close to Barnstaple. Lovely views. Very well equipped cottage. The hosts had thought of all the essential needs, including gin glasses. The welcome hamper was appreciated and the fudge was excellent. Highly recommended and would happily stay again.
No complaints.

Lovely property in a great location to explore North Devon. Quiet and peaceful setting with a beautifully decorated and styled interior. The hosts were incredibly helpful and welcoming and were keen to ensure we were looked after without being overly intrusive. The property is very well equipped with top-range facilities, and we loved the focus on the ethical and organic products provided.
Only minor negative was the oven which took forever to cook any food (90 minutes to cook a pizza) and the inconsistent Wi-Fi (only a problem if you’re looking to spend an evening in and stream a movie). Worth also noting the access - smaller cars definitely won’t enjoy the potholes and larger MPV cars might struggle with the limited turning.

Great Lilly Cottage is perfect for a relaxing break, we had a wonderful four days there. The location is peaceful and quiet, surrounded by farmland, but close enough to Barnstaple to make it very convenient for supermarkets and getting to other places in the area. The cottage is spacious and very well equipped. Plenty of crockery and utensils, thick fluffy towels and a generous hamper. Comfortable seating, large kitchen area, comfy bedroom and great bathroom facilities. Ali was extremely welcoming and helpful. We frequently stay in cottages and would rate Great Lilly Cottage as one of the best, very highly recommended. Thank you Ali and Kate.
Everything was great.

This cottage is absolutely beautiful. Very clean, comfortable, child and dog friendly. The owners were very helpful and left us a delightful welcome package treat.
There was nothing we didn't like. It was a brilliant stay. A home from a home.

We have just returned from a 5 night stay - our second stay at this cottage. It is a beautiful place in a lovely rural location yet a short drive into Barnstaple town. The cottage has everything you need and is decorated and furnished to a high standard. Check-in was very easy as the cottage was open on arrival with keys laid out on the table along with some lovely welcoming treats. The children loved all the farm animals too - especially when Spider-man and Makka Pakka came to visit! Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.
There is a bit of a pot hole road/path leading up to the cottage which our car didn't like very much but this is a farm in Devon so it comes with the territory!

Space for two cars. Agreeable host. Good price for this high specification cottage.
The bedrooms weren't isolated so noise travelled at bedtime. A lot of steps so might hinder those with mobility issues. Not really walking distance to town.

We loved Great Lily Cottage! It was in a beautiful, peaceful location, very clean and nicely decorated with a very cosy and homely feel. Everything we needed was there. There were crisps, cider, chocolate, fudge, milk and eggs for us when we arrived which was a nice surprise! Our boys loved the garden and exploring outside and also liked their cosy but spacious bedroom at the top! The cottage is in a great location for getting to the beaches and attractions but just far enough away to feel like you're away from it all when you come back from a day out and want to relax. The hosts made us feel very welcome and very kindly let us use their portable bbq for my boys to make a small fire in! Their cats were friendly too and visited us a few times to our delight as we missed our cat at home! We would definitely return and recommend Great Lily Cottage to friends.
Nothing to dislike!

Faultless. Perfect base for 2 golfers playing at Royal North Devon and Saunton. Already re-booked for next year.

The property was lovely, plenty of space and lots of nice little touches to make it homely. Our boys loved their room at the top and we really enjoyed sitting down to breakfast in the kitchen area. The cottage had everything we needed and more, we will definitely return for another stay in the future! Thanks very much!

We really liked the welcome hamper and the information book with everything you could think of in it. The heating was easy to use and the heated blanket on the bed was a lovely touch!
Some of the pictures on the walls were a bit different and not to our taste.

A really quirky and funky layout with lots of nice period features and all the mod cons needed. Nice to be given a gift basket of cider, chocolate, fudge and crisps too. The location was great for exploring a lovely part of the North Devon coast :-)
Clutching at straws here, a well drained parking space to save getting muddy shoes would be welcomed. A larger full length mirror would be handy too. We couldn't fault the property at all!

Lovely position, quiet and away from built up areas, but close enough to town for shopping. Ideally situated for visiting Woolacombe, Ilfracombe and Lynmouth. Plus many more. Lots of places within a short drive to eat. Private garden for dogs to play in. A lovely welcome gift of cider, fudge and crisps. Tea, coffee and sugar also available. (No milk though. Maybe forgot to leave some?) Constant hot water and all mod cons, including dishwasher. Ali met us on arrival and introduced himself and said to let them know if we needed anything. Good to know they were on hand if necessary. There is a lovely terrace to sit out on when it's hot, access is from the kitchen to both the garden and terrace.
The garden is quite steep, so at times I did struggle because of my age. It is lovely though.

Lovely comfy cottage with a great woodstove, all kitchen equipment for a self catering Christmas, loved the decor - and the baby llamas and friendly horse next door!
Well placed for exploring the N Devon coast.
Highly recommended.
It was all good.

There was a lovely warm welcome from the host, Ali and some very nice touches like logs for the fire and a beautiful cream tea on arrival. This is a lovely cottage with cosy, original furnishings. We especially liked the interesting decor items scattered about.
The water pressure in the main shower head was a little low but this might only be a perception as we have very strong water pressure at home.
