Great stay

Lovely place, well laid out, good base to explore Devon, lovely hosts and appreciated the welcome hamper, and the cats! Such a quiet and peaceful place.

Absolute gem! We will be coming back

Great Lilly Cottage is simply lovely. We loved its quirkiness. Comfy bed, cosy decor. The wood burner makes it a 5 star accommodation, especially in cold/soggy weather. Ali and Kate were absolutely amazing throughout our stay. We will definitely be coming back in the future.

Nothing really. The only thing I would change is the feather quilt. Something to bear in mind if you’re asthmatic/allergic to down.

A Great Place To Stay!

Great Lilly Cottage is an attractively quirky and spacious two bedroom conversion on three floors, comfortably furnished, (particularly the double bed), and the kitchen is sufficiently well equipped for most needs. Externally the self contained garden and balcony are welcoming on a clear day. The cottage is in a really quiet location on the outskirts of Barnstaple with all areas of North Devon being easily accessible. Kate and Ali are the perfect hosts; very accommodating if you need help, otherwise you're left alone. We must like it as it's our second visit in two years!

Despite comments by others the creaky floorboards are all part of the charm!

GREAT WEE STAY

We had such a lovely stay at Great Lily Cottage, both myself and husband loved the location, it was great seeing all the animals and my daughter loved collecting fresh eggs and feeding the chickens everyday. If we did require anything within the property Kate & Ali were always very accommodating on supplying us with anything needed.

The only minor issue we had is due to the house being so open plan you could hear all noises from the top even if you were on the bottom floor which obviously if youre trying to sleep was a bit challenging with 2 kids.

Relaxed, comfortable and worry free.

The location was fantastic, quiet, rural and very relaxing. The property was spotlessly clean, fully equipped and very comfortable. Access is via a short farm track which is a little 'rugged' but fine if you take your time and check out the alpacas in the field as you go. It's ideally located for trips out and Barnstable is only a few minutes away for shops, supermarkets and restaurants. Highly recommended if you want a quiet retreat that's not too far from civilisation. We'll definitely be returning soon!

All good.

Fantastic cottage stay

Cosy, especially with the lovely fire when the rain was pouring outside. Really comfortable beds; nice secure garden for the dog and a fabulous welcome hamper. Responsive hosts and delicious eggs from the resident chickens. Highly recommend!

Squeaky floorboards but only because our children are early risers even when on holiday! 🙄🤣

Thank you Ali and Kate!

The Great Lilly Cottage is my children's favourite holiday - lots of green spaces around with beautiful fauna and flora, close to Barnstable and the surfing beaches of North Devon, lots of hiking paths... The cottage itself is perfect for a family of 4 and the hosts are always very helpful.

beautiful cottage, lovely location for a peaceful break.

beautiful cottage, lovely scenery. everything you could need in the kitchen and a huge dog friendly garden behind. Nice attention to little details.

nothing really. if i have to be critical at all, be careful with the bed on the ground floor. I managed to dislocate my little toe in the first five minutes as I didn't notice the heavy wooden leg of the bed. was walking round with a big bruise. This is in no way the fault of the owners, just an observation for other tenants to keep in mind.

A very welcoming and cosy spot which was quiet and peaceful.

Spotless, perfect for the two of us and our dog. The garden was great for the dog and for watching the bird life. The log burner was fantastic.

Slightly odd smell from the bathroom which is adjacent to the kitchen. Damp smell. Rest of the house was fine though. Oven and hob complicated to use until we’d dug out the instructions.

Wonderful cottage in a secluded area, yet only 10 minutes away from Barnstaple. Everything was perfect 😊

Facilities, comfy bed, welcome hamper and the fresh eggs 😊

Peaceful, private, beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful property in such a private and quiet area. We loved the layout and the log fire kept it so cosy.

There was nothing to not like! The only suggestion maybe would be a light for the top part of the garden for the doggy’s but nothing a torch won’t do :)

A very comfortable stay with lovely hosts.

The location was perfect, close to Barnstaple but a quiet countryside setting. Great woodburner, well equipped kitchen, individual touches on the decor, the welcoming basket of cider, biscuits and crisps and the fun quiz to solve with a reward.

Minor point but failed to master the shower to stop the water coming from overhead.

Great location. Countryside setting but close to town.

Great location very close to Barnstaple. Lovely views. Very well equipped cottage. The hosts had thought of all the essential needs, including gin glasses. The welcome hamper was appreciated and the fudge was excellent. Highly recommended and would happily stay again.

No complaints.

8.0 / 10.0

Had a fab stay and wouldn’t hesitate to re-book and recommend to friends and family.

Lovely property in a great location to explore North Devon. Quiet and peaceful setting with a beautifully decorated and styled interior. The hosts were incredibly helpful and welcoming and were keen to ensure we were looked after without being overly intrusive. The property is very well equipped with top-range facilities, and we loved the focus on the ethical and organic products provided.

Only minor negative was the oven which took forever to cook any food (90 minutes to cook a pizza) and the inconsistent Wi-Fi (only a problem if you’re looking to spend an evening in and stream a movie). Worth also noting the access - smaller cars definitely won’t enjoy the potholes and larger MPV cars might struggle with the limited turning.

Fantastic cottage for a relaxing break.

Great Lilly Cottage is perfect for a relaxing break, we had a wonderful four days there. The location is peaceful and quiet, surrounded by farmland, but close enough to Barnstaple to make it very convenient for supermarkets and getting to other places in the area. The cottage is spacious and very well equipped. Plenty of crockery and utensils, thick fluffy towels and a generous hamper. Comfortable seating, large kitchen area, comfy bedroom and great bathroom facilities. Ali was extremely welcoming and helpful. We frequently stay in cottages and would rate Great Lilly Cottage as one of the best, very highly recommended. Thank you Ali and Kate.

Everything was great.

This cottage is absolutely beautiful. Very clean, comfortable, child and dog friendly. The owners were very helpful and left us a delightful welcome package treat.

A lovely relaxing stay with the family in a beautiful, fully equipped cottage and welcoming hosts

We have just returned from a 5 night stay - our second stay at this cottage. It is a beautiful place in a lovely rural location yet a short drive into Barnstaple town. The cottage has everything you need and is decorated and furnished to a high standard. Check-in was very easy as the cottage was open on arrival with keys laid out on the table along with some lovely welcoming treats. The children loved all the farm animals too - especially when Spider-man and Makka Pakka came to visit! Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

There is a bit of a pot hole road/path leading up to the cottage which our car didn't like very much but this is a farm in Devon so it comes with the territory!

9.0 / 10.0

Close to Barnstaple and peaceful location to rest.

Space for two cars. Agreeable host. Good price for this high specification cottage.

The bedrooms weren't isolated so noise travelled at bedtime. A lot of steps so might hinder those with mobility issues. Not really walking distance to town.

Wonderful stay!

We loved Great Lily Cottage! It was in a beautiful, peaceful location, very clean and nicely decorated with a very cosy and homely feel. Everything we needed was there. There were crisps, cider, chocolate, fudge, milk and eggs for us when we arrived which was a nice surprise! Our boys loved the garden and exploring outside and also liked their cosy but spacious bedroom at the top! The cottage is in a great location for getting to the beaches and attractions but just far enough away to feel like you're away from it all when you come back from a day out and want to relax. The hosts made us feel very welcome and very kindly let us use their portable bbq for my boys to make a small fire in! Their cats were friendly too and visited us a few times to our delight as we missed our cat at home! We would definitely return and recommend Great Lily Cottage to friends.

Nothing to dislike!

The property was lovely, plenty of space and lots of nice little touches to make it homely. Our boys loved their room at the top and we really enjoyed sitting down to breakfast in the kitchen area. The cottage had everything we needed and more, we will definitely return for another stay in the future! Thanks very much!

Lovely place, so quiet and great location.

We really liked the welcome hamper and the information book with everything you could think of in it. The heating was easy to use and the heated blanket on the bed was a lovely touch!

Some of the pictures on the walls were a bit different and not to our taste.

Superb

A really quirky and funky layout with lots of nice period features and all the mod cons needed. Nice to be given a gift basket of cider, chocolate, fudge and crisps too. The location was great for exploring a lovely part of the North Devon coast :-)

Clutching at straws here, a well drained parking space to save getting muddy shoes would be welcomed. A larger full length mirror would be handy too. We couldn't fault the property at all!
