Exactly what we wanted for the week, seclusion and comfort.
Exactly what we wanted for the week, seclusion and comfort. The lounge being upstairs allowed an outstanding sea view. Cottage was close enough to Bude and Bideford and allowed further exploration of North Devon/Cornwall. Great break and location…

A great peaceful location with nice facilities, we loved the hot tub and space for children. The sea is not too far away and the whole village has a sense of welcome!
