Lovely little cottage. Cosy and welcoming. Clean and comfortable sleeping arrangements.

Unfortunately, several of the appliances / amenities need fixing / updating.

Cosy cottage lovely log fire, card games, well equipped,. Little garden for coffee in the morning. Loved it. Thankyou

Nothing not to like

Location. Price. Was suitable for our needs. Any problems we had were down to me, not checking fine details when booking.

The mattresses on the floor. We're all nearly 70, so I should have read the small print. The kettle took ages to boil and weighs a ton. No TV. In lounge area. Nowhere to hang coats. Decor is cute but over the top. Twigs over the bed...not for me. Again, not the hosts fault. We should have checked in more detail.

The decor was cute and quirky, the courtyard with the outside fire was lovely. The BBQ in the secret garden was great. Great supply of games, enjoyed not having a tv - able to really spend family time together. Easy walk into town . Very well stocked kitchen.

Bathroom floor flooded, no table so if weather had not been so good would’ve struggled.

Nice cottage in a good location if you want to base yourself in Bideford.

Didn't feel comfortable parking in road above the cottage it was very narrow for my car and also quite secluded. I parked in council carpark across the road it cost £5 a day and also made it easier to load car. I would definitely pay as there were daily checks done and a few cars had parking fines on them.

The decor was lovely and the cottage was very comfortable

It was quite a walk from the car so unpacking and re-packing was tricky

Well equipped kitchen. Adjacent car park was only £5 per day and this provided excellent access to Bideford and local attractions

We were 5 adults, one with mobility issues. We felt that the accommodation - both bedrooms and lounge - was perhaps suitable for 3 adults and 2 children, but for 5 adults rather tight, and access for the one with mobility issues difficult. Sleep in the attic was also disturbed by the boiler. The interior was not particularly to our taste, although we were amused by the wording of some of the wall plaques and the decoration of the courtyard. We suggest that arrival details should be revised to make it clear that parking in the adjacent quayside car park and unloading from there is recommended with no reference to the potential free car parking above the Tarka Trail. The map we were e-mailed simply confused us and made unloading from the free car parking unnecessarily difficult. Also state that the cottage is not directly on Barnstable St. but up an alleyway from it.

The cottage was very quaint & nicely decorated & fitted out & the large bean bags were a very good idea. Great to have the courtyard at the back & the 'secret garden'. Unfortunately, we couldn't really make use of it all as we were only there for 2 nights to attend a family funeral on this trip. And the wake was at the Royal where a lot of the others were staying so very convenient. But I loved to just sit at night with the fairy lights on which was very peaceful & comforting after the stressful day. The 2 double beds were very comfortable but not so with the 2 singles for my older sons (but are aware now they are meant for children).

We weren't aware that the twin bedded room was an attic room with stairs off one of the doubles & intended for children (which would be perfect for that purpose) but my daughter was in one of the doubles & her 2 brothers upstairs (who both snore!) so wasn't ideal in our situation. An extra shower room or toilet would have been nice aswell with a few of us but for 2 nights, we managed ok. The unloading of the car wasn't ideal having to walk up & down the hill to the cottage each time (& our stay was short with no children) but we parked across the road after & were happy to pay. But once inside & settled, the cottage was very homely with a cosy feel & nice atmosphere.
