Thank you for a lovely stay at Great lilly cottage, we had a great time & an added bonus of a private garden where our dog had a good run around nice & secure, there is everything you need, lovely & clean! We would love to come back Trevor & Karen

We had a superb few days in this lovely farm cottage w all mod-cons in North Devon. We'll be back 👍😎

Exceeded our expectations, highly recommended.

We had such a wonderful few days here that we didn't want to leave. The house is lovely, really nicely decorated and I loved all the eco products that the owners have used. Our dog Phoebe had ample space to run around in the garden and it seemed very secure. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Can't fault it, can't wait to come back!!

We gave two goods rather than excellents. Their could have been a clean sweep but the Wi-Fi was unsecured and didn't always work (not that it was a bother to my wife or I) but one of our daughters had come down and had to return the next day as she conducts her own business via the net and her laptop simply wouldn't log on. But for us and our dog it was marvellous. Extremely quiet and peaceful yet actually close to a good road down to Barnstable. From the traffic lights the whole of Devon was signposted and as far as our dog was concerned, the massive beach at Saunton Sands was just 15 minutes away! The hammock in the back garden is also exquisitely comfortable! We had a very relaxing stay.

Had a lovely relaxing stay at this accommodation the beginning of September. Clean, well equipped and in a fabulous location.

Lovely cottage, comfy bed, very peaceful, very nice welcome with fresh scones, thank you Kate & Ali

Lovely property, warm and cosy! Scones, jam, cream left for us on arrival which was very welcoming with a cup of tea! We would recommend.

Lovely and quiet, very well equipped with a great big shower. All we needed was there. Scones and jam were extra special 😁�

Property is very well thought out, the cottage has everything you would require, we even received scones & cream on our arrival! Kate & Ali looked after us brilliantly, a very angelic place. We wouldn't hesitate to go back 😁

Spent Monday to Friday at Kate and Ali’s lovely property in North Devon recently. The house was ideally based for everything you could need to do and visit in the area but far enough out of the main town for peace and quiet. My wife and I came back thoroughly refreshed and chilled thanks for having us

Great Lilly Cottage is a lovely character cottage with lots of really nice finishing touches. The log burner adds to the character and kept us lovely can warm on a short break in Devon. It is ideally situated from Barnstable and an easy drive to Saunton Sands and Woolacombe. We would happily stay here again with our 3 dogs, the garden is not 100% secure but we don't have escape artist so was not a worry for us. Only suggestion I have for the owners would be for the kitchen to have sundry items such as a sponge to wash up, tin foil, cling film etc and we couldn't find a can opener. Thank you for a lovely few days we loved it!

We had a great stay at this lovely cottage, very comfortable, lovely owners in a great location. we will come back again. Clare x

On arrival Ali was on hand to settle us in with a delailed walk through the property which was very helpful. Everything we required was on in the property and we really enjoyed our stay and will visit it again.

Das Häuschen selbst war etwas schwer zu finden, Kate hatte uns aber noch per mail eine detaillierte Wegbeschreibung zukommen lassen. Zur Begrüßung gab es durch Ali eine schnelle Hausführung mit anschließenden Scones. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen, wir können diese Unterkunft nur weiter empfehlen. Alles war so wie beschrieben. Bei der Einrichtung gibt es überall liebevolle Details zu entdecken.

We just spent a relaxing week in Great Lily Cottage, its furnished to a high standard and is very comfortable. Ali & Kate were great hosts, making it clear they were available should we need them, but left us to enjoy our holiday. It's in a great location to visit many of North Devon's attractions within 30 minutes. Next time we'd like the sunshine though!!

Having been away to Devon before with my young son, this was his first summer away in the school holidays so i wanted to do something different now that he was at an age where he was more inclined to appreciate his experiences and also provide a restful break for the grand parents in tow I wanted a slightly remote and quiet location yet conveniently placed property to access the outside world in order to enjoy some rest-bite from a full day of activity on the nearby beaches and sightseeing but not be too far away for the next days adventures. Great Lilly Cottage caught my eye instantly. 3 separate floors of countryside rustic ambiance but with each level offering a individually groomed mix of warmth, local feel, and quirky personality all centred around the middle section where the kitchen and lounge were housed - a great family gathering point. Outdoors, the quiet hustle and bustle of wild life just enhanced the secluded atmosphere of being on holiday on our own coupled with the table and chairs to sit, read and enjoy a summers evening drink and a hammock whereby you could lie back and swing to the tempo of the cooling breeze on what was a very hot 10 days. The cottage gave a well balanced mix of relaxation for the elders and scope for exploration for a boy of 5 to keep nipping in and out of the garden and all 3 floors of the property without losing any of his energy and enthusiasm. Kate and Ali were on hand to meet us when we arrived to show us around and were also available when we needed them but ultimately left us to enjoy our holiday and this beautiful cottage. Myself, my son and my parents had a fantastic time at Great Lilly Cottage and in Devon.

The property is lovely in a very quiet location. Places near by lovely to visit. We had a very relaxing stay and our dog had a ball. Would definitely recommend Many thanks to the lovely hosts

We loved our stay at the cottage. Kate & Ali we’re very friendly & accommodating hosts. The cottage was very comfortable and met all our expectations. Molly & Pip, our two black labs, also enjoyed the house & garden. It was a good base for enjoying the local countryside and beautiful beaches (especially Saunton Sands). We found a lovely local pub, The New Inn, which did fantastic food and were dog friendly.

Thank you for a much needed break away with the dog . The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed . Lovely views and seating area outside . I did miss the hammock though as couldn’t find it . 5 mins drive to food shops and stunning beaches . Braunton inn is nice to eat with a great view 😊

We had such a lovely few days here and could easily stayed longer. The cottage was gorgeous and had everything we needed. we where very late to arrive but welcomed by the owners who showed us around. I think we where lucky with the weather as the sun was shinning, there are some lovely beaches within 15-20 minutes away which we loved..... we will be back

All i wanted was a few days away from the real world and that's exactly what I got the barn is a lovely quiet place the owners are great and I would recommend it to anyone thanks a lot guys

Couldn't fault the cottage in any way. The owners Kate and Ali were very helpful and Ali met us on arrival showed us round and then left us to it. There were two spacious rooms, one double and one twin, and an open plan kitchen/dining room which had a wood burning stove as a focal point. The spaces work very well and give the impression of a much bigger space. We went as two couples, each with a child aged 10 months and 3yrs. Even with two little terrors running/crawling we found it more than suitable. Ali also setup baby gates on all stairs and provided high chairs and cot which saved us having to bring them. We were also greeted with scones and a bottle of prosecco on arrival which was very thoughtful after a long journey. We didn't do too much exploring but there are some great pubs local, The Chichester Arms in particular is highly recommended. There's plenty to do in the surrounding areas and we look forward to returning again in the warmer months.

We have just returned from spending a great week at Kate & Ali's place. On arrival Kate met us and provided us with a welcome cream tea made by Ali. The cottage has great facilities and the beds are really comfortable. On the drive in we passed their 9 Alpacas which are lovely creatures. We enjoyed sitting on either of the 2 balconies taking in the sun with a nice glass of wine. Although in the country it is close to Barnstaple with its various amenities. All in all a great week thanks to Kate & Ali.

Ali and Kate were very welcoming and unobtrusive but on hand if needed. Cream tea was an unexpected surprise and very tasty. The accommodation was clean and well equipped for a long weekend away in the countryside, and an ideal location to explore North Devon. Lovely would definitely stay again

Had a three night stay here in December and really enjoyed it.Lovely cosy character cottage/barn especially with the wood burner lit. Very central ,quiet and convenient location for Devonshire beaches and other attractions. Kate and Ali very helpful especially getting our car on the move again when you have a flat battery Thanks very much again and hopefully we can make it a longer stay next time Happy new year to you all Cy Nicky Charlotte and of course Ted the dog

Gorgeous location. Great hosts. Immaculate cottage with every mod con you could want. Ali and Kate are brilliant hosts. Can't wait to go back. Kate and Ali, thank you for the amazing scones and the yummy eggs! Gill and Glenn

Morning Kate. Thank you for a wonderful stay in your lovely cottage. We have been extremely comfortable and relaxed. The views are to die for, in which we can't believe how close you are to Barnstaple. Certainly, we will be coming back to stay. Thank you Nick & Annette

My initial thoughts were that the cottage was smaller than the pictures, but no less pretty but actually it was perfect for us, including two children and two small dogs. The husband and children were very impressed with the WiFi and blue-tooth setup which helped in wind-down evenings (as well as the dominoes) and the couple of wetter days. Breakfast was lovely on the graveled area outside with an amazing view. Steep garden to the rear which the dogs explored and had a washing line. Great location to reach everything beaches, shops, etc. Nice soft towels and blankets. Very minor details to be improved including a couple more wooden spoons but could definitely benefit from some new pegs for the washing line for the wet towels and wetsuits etc! Being picky as had a great relaxing week but as I'm the cook and cleaner!!!!

After a very, very long drive in our Landy all the way from Munich to Barnstaple we arrived at this wonderful, lovely and cosy Cottage! Very friendly and helpful hosts! Everything we needed was provided. The Cottage was very clean and looked after. Lovely furnished with nice details. We will be back! Just a shame it's so far away from our place, otherwise we would stay more often! Thank you so much for a great holiday! We enjoyed every minute and felt at home away from home!
