Was a wonderful cottage. Everything thought about. Beautifully clean, felt like home. Really enjoyed staying there. Would definitely recommend.

Only issues were parking and having to take our own logs for the fire. Otherwise lovely escape.

Enjoyed the stay. Sweet little cottage. Washing machine/tumble dryer was a nightmare. Did ruin some expensive items of clothing. As automatically switched on tumble dryer after wash at 90 degrees.

Firstly - the good stuff, and there's plenty of that. The cottage is in a great location, near the river and walks along it. Easy walk into Bideford, close to a large supermarket and town and yet a really quiet, peaceful place to stay. The kitchen is very well equipped with pots, pans, crockery, washing machine, gas hob, cooker, microwave, etc. Very comfy living room with TV, Wii, books, DVD's and an excellent log burner. Dining room with bed settee, dining table and chairs with stairs off. Two good bedrooms, 1 king and one twin, we found the beds comfortable and there were spare blankets. Large bathroom with a good shower over the bath, plenty of towels provided. Nicely decorated and really great for 4 adults (6 adults might be a bit of a crowd) Not quite as good points (but not the owners fault) were the parking - nothing wrong with it in itself, just that the house is on a road of terraces and should others park on the road it can make getting in and out of the parking space in front of the property a bit difficult, Then, sadly, the WiFi didn't work throughout our stay - appeared to be a problem with the provider, so yet again not the fault of the owner but disappointing nevertheless. Alex did all he could to get it put right. The were a few other little niggles but that's all they were - small things that could have made this lovely little cottage even more welcoming. A welcome pack (tea, coffee, sugar, milk, biscuits, etc.) after a long journey is always nice. Kitchen condiments are always useful in self catering accommodation and we were only left one loo roll when a spare is a bit of a necessity - We were only 3 adults for 3 nights, and it would have run out. There were also only a few logs left for the woodburner. The door between the dining and living rooms sticks and as it has glass panels that could be a problem? Just a few little tweaks that would really raise this cottage up to 5 star

Easy reach for local shops (walking 5min) beaches (drive 10min) everything you could want for a home away from home holiday

Good size property for 2 adults, 1 toddler and a dog. Easy walk into town and the local park.

Real home from home in a super loaction. Few minutes walk to town, central for the beautiful North Devon coastline.

The house was fine, clean and comfortable though the mattress on the double bed could be upgraded. As regular holiday renters we were surprised to find the usual basic items were missing. No spare toilet rolls, salt and pepper or fresh milk provided. The internet was unreliable and parking difficult as we were either blocked in or blocked out of the driveway by residents parking in the road. Despite all we enjoyed exploring this area of Devon.

Everything at the cottage that we needed. Great spot, felt safe and secure and neighbours very pleasant. Close to Torridge Bridge but we weren't aware of road noise. 30 seconds to get to walk beside the river. Easy walk into Bideford and to Morrison's. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again ourselves.

We found the cottage very clean and tidy and well equipped. We would love to come again.,

The house was fine - but it did smell of weed which was a little disappointing for quite an expensive 2 night stay.

brilliant

Lovely place, great location everything you need on site. Couple of points though, on booking the times were in after 14.00 out before 10am. Great. After booking and paying I had an email saying in after 17.00 and out before 09.00. Not possible with2 small ones 2 dogs and 4 adults. The cleanliness was shocking, I found a toe nail in my bed and a contact lens case on the floor at the end of the bed. It also hasn’t been dusted. The charge added on for cleaning was £65.00!!! The cleaner needs sacking!! Thirdly we nearly had a fatal accident. My 2 yr old grandson came to me and asked if he could eat the sweetie. On checking what sweetie it was it turned out to be a laundry tablet which was just dropped in the bottom of the under the sink cupboard. Good job he checked before eating it otherwise it would have a trip to A&E of worse. It was good of the owners (Alex) to leave them but for goodness sake put them in a child proof container. One other thing was the WiFi didn’t work. I messaged Alex to let him know and came straight back to me to say that he would contact his provider. It was back in on the morning but lasted about 2 hours. So this needs sorting. Other than that it’s a lovely place.

Had everything needed although we didnt know that the Internet had been turned off until the day before we left as when reading the booklet you were asked not to switch off Internet before you left so obviously previous guests had turned it off enjoyed the log burner on the colder evening's

Lovely cosy cottage, great to have the log burner as our visit was in February! Good location, short drive to the beach at westward Ho beach, perfect for our needs

Nice little place, clean and warm and close to our section of the coast path which we were walking. The free wood was very nice too

Lovely cottage with everything we needed and in a great location. The pint of milk in the fridge ready for a cuppa when we arrived was much appreciated after a challenging drive! Lots to do locally. Nice walks, great shops and lovely beaches. We really enjoyed our stay.

Everything that we needed for a short break. Great location to Bideford, easy walk into town. Many thanks

We enjoyed our stay. The property is 1/2 mile from town, and there is a level walk along the river to get there. There is also a large Morrison’s close by. It’s very quiet in the neighbourhood. The facilities are very good, and clean. If travelling with a pet, please be aware that there is no outdoor space to allow your pet to relieve itself. However, there is a little courtyard with a table to enjoy coffee in the mornings. We took our dog along the coastal path, where there are plenty of litter bins for pet waste, so the lack of a garden wasn’t a hardship. Downsides, the double mattress needs to be replaced. I woke up in pain, but the twin bed wasn’t a problem. There was also a request to strip the beds/duvets, flatten all containers and cans, and ideally , take all rubbish home with us. We weren’t able to comply due to extreme old age and arthritis!

Could do with a bit of TLC to bring it up to a better standard

Peaceful, nice walks, friendly people. Just what we needed. Would recommend to all.

Well located in quiet estate on the edge of Bideford and excellently placed for access to Westward Ho!, the Tarka trail and other Devon delights. Great to be able to use bodyboards and enough space in backyard to store 4 bikes. The cottage was compact with 4 people staying but gave us a great base for an enjoyable week.

The property is ideally situated for our needs. Would recommend for anyone wishing to enjoy the local facilities. 3rd time using this property, will definitely be using again.

The property is ideally located for access to the Tarka trail for walking or cycling with a short walk into Biddeford for amenities. Other attractions are within a short drive away. Lovely accommodation with everything that you need for an enjoyable stay away

Clean and well presented property. Nice quiet location with easy access to the town and the Tarka trail over the river. Everything worked. Ideal for 2, nice place to chill for our recent very wet Saturday.

Great location just by the riverbank. Short walk in to town, ample space for 4 people and the surf boards were a bonus. Everything you’d need for a self catered get away. Would definitely stay here again. We found some lovely coastal and woodland walks to take our dog on two minutes from the property- recommended

Great host contact.Good location close to town centre.Off road-parking Everything we needed in the cottage for a cosy weekend breakClose to local park run

Really lovely property, spotlessly clean everything you needed in there plus bonus of surf/body boards. Area and street is much nicer than google street view suggests, and property actually felt much roomier than pictures suggested. Lovely to have the log burner and Morrisons 10 minutes walk away. Great for local walks and surfing beaches will definitely look to stay again. We were there in November and it was a great property for the wet windy weather but I would think it would suit summer equally well.

Nice quiet cottage Close to town centre & coastal path for walking Easy access to local places to visit Cottage cosy & clean nice size for 3 adults & a little dog Parking space a bit tight if you have a big car & tiny little back garden ok for us this time of year but not really a sitting out area Overall we had a good time

The cottage had everything we needed. It was clean, warm and comfortable. We loved walking along the river to the town and also the very pretty walk to Appledore.

Ideally situated property to all of north Devon. Cottage was really comfortable and would recommend.
