We had such a wonderful stay at Garden Cottage. We were two families with 5 kids from 3 up to 10yrs. The house was spacious, clean and homely. It had alot to offer for the kids, a games room with psp, plenty of board games, a dress up box and a projector screen for movie nights. The kitchen has all the essentials you need. The garden was spacious with a big trampoline for all the kids to run around and enjoy while having a bbq outside. The house was in a great location walking distance from shops and restaurants. It's also very close to the tarka Trail and a short drive to the beaches. We would definitely love to stay again.

Great weekend stay

We rented Garden Cottage to attend a wedding in Braunton. It was perfect for our group of 10 adults and offered great accommodation. Kevin, the host, was very helpful and communicative…we even lucked out with glorious sunshine for the entire weekend. Highly recommend staying here.

Perfect Weekend

We stayed here with friends for 3 nights and it was perfect. The check in process was easy and Kevin was on hand if we needed anything, as well as giving us taxi numbers and advice on the area. The Christmas tree made us smile as well! Would thoroughly recommend this stay with either friends or family & even though we didn’t have children, it’s perfectly catered for them. We didn’t want for anything! Thank you for making our stay so wonderful!!

Family friendly

A good place for a family holiday. Close to all facilities and beaches are within easy reach. Regular clearance of fallen apples in the garden at this time of year would help.

Delightful house in a wonderful town

The house has everything a family could want. Spacious rooms and a wonderful open kitchen and dining area. Plus the yard and bbq and trampoline were a hit with our kids. Easy walk to town with access to anything you need.

Lovely house in a lovely part of devon

We took the whole family to garden cottage and was amazed by the amount of space and fantastic garden. With plenty of room to park off road and a pub next door. The house has a piano, games room With PlayStation 4 and dads for adults and children. Lots to do out and about with nice beaches close and the town of braunton 5 min walk away. Hope to book again next year

Kevin is a photographer and Jo is a charity worker. We have 3 children and love to travel.

Why they chose this property

The beauty of this house is that despite being in the centre of the village, a lot of people don't know it's there. You can walk everywhere and unusually, it's far bigger than most propeties in the area with a large garden.

What makes this property unique

In the centre of the village, yet tucked away and next door to a pub.
