Higher Mullacott Farm where Aggie's Cottage is located is nestled within the foothills of the North Devon coast, providing the ideal position from which to explore the wider North Devon area and Exmoor. With buildings dating back to the time of the Domesday Book, the pretty barn conversion is able to combine period charm with modern day elegance, think wood beams meet contemporary decor.

The cottage features an open plan living room with galley kitchen and comfy lounge/dining area a large corner sofa and comfy cushions plus TV/DVD. A stable door opens out onto the garden where you can enjoy a picnic or summer BBQ admiring the sea views, or read a good book in the peace and quiet.

Three steps up from the living area lie two wonderfully large bedrooms, the first features a king size double bed and the other is a pretty twin, perfect for adults and children. Both of the bedrooms are individually connected to the downstairs bathroom fitted with a shower, a WC and a wash-basin.

Upstairs lies the second double bedroom, this quaint room is full of character with its low beamed ceiling and views out of the dormer windows stretching towards the sea.

Firstly, we had a great holiday - however having stayed in Dolly's last year and my daughter having Poppy's with us this year Aggies was disappointing. It's very characterful but tired and in need of a refurb. The downstairs bedrooms were very comfortable but the first floor one full of pitfalls - very low beams and difficult stairs to negotiate in the night to get down to the bathroom. Also a small hole in the floor which has been filled but at a lower level than the rest. You need to be very able to avoid the obstacles. Having said that location is perfect and the outside space brilliant for my grandsons to play in and we had a fabulous time. The cream tea was also really appreciated.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Aggie’s Cottage. The cottage is roomy and light filled and perfect for two couples traveling together. We had everything we needed, but it would’ve been nice to have more than one toilet roll per bathroom provided. Otherwise, the experience was wonderful and the surrounding views from the cottage are stunning.

We have had a lovely week at Higher Mullacot, staying in Aggie's Cottage. The cottage was spotless, warm and cosy and overall, had a good range of amenities to meet our needs. The location was good and we had access to a range of activities throughout the N.Devon coast. The bedrooms were lovely and cosy and the kitchen and living room were really well equipped. The wider grounds were amazing for the children, who loved playing on the play facilities and with the bits and pieces left in the shed to borrow. It's a lovely cottage on a lovely site. We do have a few suggestions though, which would've made our stay perfect. Firstly, the shower needs some work. It took a good while every morning for us all to get the temperature right (even by following the instructions) and the pressure was really low. Secondly, the toilet in the second bathroom next to the kitchen can only be flushed once every ten minutes or so, given it takes so long to fill up in between - this needs sorting when there are six people in the cottage. Thirdly, for six people, the fridge simply isn't big enough - we ended up having to leave food and drink outside in the end as we didn't have enough space.

Nice cottage with 2 downstairs bedrooms and one upstairs double. In terms of location it is a short drive to both Ilfracome and Woolacombe, the cottage (and 3 others) are set in some very nice grounds with play equipment for children that is set well back from the main entrance. Each cottage has a BBQ and picnic bench. The Kitchen is well equiped however more fridge space would have been useful. Perhaps a fridge that does not have an ice box or replace the freezer for a second fridge with icebox? The equipment in the kitchen is well maintained and works well, however the large saucepan and frying pan had too large a base to use on the electric hobs so they kept cutting out. This made cooking pasta for 6 a little slower than it might have been! There is some borrowable beach equipment in the hut including some body boards, chairs and windbreaks which is a very nice addition. There is also a suitable spot for washing wet suits (hose and old belfast sink), although it is under one of the cottage's windows so it felt a little intrusive to use, especially when that house was using its BBQ which is right next to the hose. On the whole any of these comments are minor observations, this was our second holiday here and we plan on comming again!

Stayed here and Dolly’s for a big family break. Worked perfectly with children and parents in Aggies and rest in Dolly’s. Children slept undisturbed in the evening and adults in the morning. Good facilities and lovely play area. Will definitely be back.

Not as clean as it first looked, we rented 2 cottages and there was a small bin at both for recycling which were soon overflowing and never got emptied and 1 dustbin between the 3 cottages on the site which was overflowing by the middle of the week. The bathroom floor in aggies has loose and broken tiles so you have to be careful and the old toilet flush only works intermitently so sometimes you have to leave it which isnt nice especially as there is no window and the extractor fan doesnt work
