Lovely clean modern accommodation. Could benefit from better WiFi and maybe bigger beds in the 2nd bedroom as 2ft 6 beds are small for an adult. The owners were lovely and obviously work hard keeping the grounds and properties well maintained.

From start to finish this was just what we needed.
From start to finish this was just what we needed. From the minute we pulled up we relaxed . We were greeted by the most wonderful owner who showed us were we were staying . Nothing was to much trouble . The cottage was spotlessly clean . And spacious.
The fishing lakes were great I caught my biggest fish ever .
A holiday we truly did not want to end .

We had an excellent time at Mole cottage, it is a lovely rural area and the cottage itself was ideal
We had an excellent time at Mole cottage, it is a lovely rural area and the cottage itself was ideal for my wife, two kids and myself (and the dog).
Everything you need is available in the cottage from cooking equipment to internet access, the owners are very friendly and easily reachable if you have any problems/ questions.
The cottage is located in an ideal place with fairly short drives to all the beaches and towns/ attractions in this area of North Devon.
Many thanks for a great stay, we hope to come again in the future.
