About this cottage rental
Diana's Cottage, the former dairy is set on a farming estate in the popular village of Braunton in North Devon. This recently renovated cottage oozes charm and character throughout, but has been thoughtfully furnished to offer couples and small families comfortable accommodation in a wonderful rural setting.
Inside the cottage, a bright and spacious living room with a high vaulted ceiling features large comfy sofas, a flat screen TV and a DVD player . A large kitchen is equipped with everything needed for a self-catering holiday and features a lovely dining area with enough seating for 5. Appliances include an electric Aga, separate electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge and chest freezer.
A staircase from the kitchen leads up to the first floor, where guests can find the two bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is a large well-presented master bedroom with a king-sized bed, as well as a second bedroom with three full size single beds. Guests should note there are a number of steps leading down to the 2nd bedroom, and there are low beams and sloping ceilings in this bedroom. The bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower overhead, and wash basin. There is a separate WC next to the bathroom.
When not relaxing in the cottage, venture out to your own secret private garden, which is hidden behind a high wood gate and wall. The garden, which is enclosed, is mainly laid to lawn and features a table and chairs for summer afternoon BBQs and a selection of outdoor games. Guests will also have access to an outside tap to wash off sandy or muddy boots.
1 dog is welcome at Diana's Cottage. There is an additional charge of £30 to bring your dog. Please notify us at time of booking, and will be payable with the balance.

The cottage was attached to a grand building but with own gardens and a bench by the front door where I sat to watch the sunrise
It was so peaceful.
There was a footpath we walked along with birds singing and the varied foliage was amazing.
The hosts were available by phone and very polite and helpful.

We appreciated the cream tea on arrival and it was lovely to have freshly picked flowers in the rooms. Everything was very clean and the bed linen was good quality. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking etc.
The cottage is a short walk from Braunton which was great but the public footpath was muddy in the rain. The cottage is in a lovely location and accessible to beaches, countryside and towns. We caught the bus some days as the bus stops in Braunton are walking distance.
Unfortunately it rained every day so it was difficult trying to keep the front entrance clean as the door opens onto a small mat and carpet, there isn’t enough room for wet shoes, coats and a wet muddy dog.
The access to the cottage is up and then down a narrow lane (not unusual for the area but a bit challenging) . Parking wasn’t easy in the allocated parking space but was ok once you got used to it.
We enjoyed our week and it would have been even better if the sun had come out!

We booked Diana’s cottage for a weekend with grandchild of 10 months to attend a 90th birthday party in Braunton.
First impressions were that we’d walked into faulty towers…it’s a very old building and it looks like the decor hasn’t changed much either …reminded me of my grans house when I was a kid.
The views are great and it’s a large property with a huge garden area so if you want quiet then it would be great. The bed linen was clean and crisp. The house was very warm heated by a number of storage heaters and mobile heaters, some of which set too high with a toddler roaming.
However for us it wasn’t great. Too many steps up and down to access kitchens, bathroom and bedroom especially with a toddler. To get to the far bedroom with the baby there were a total of seven sets of stairs/steps. There were no stair gates even on the main staircase.
Extension leads and plug sockets with leads as the few sockets there are are poorly positioned.
Building smelt musty and unused.
Although just outside Braunton we were unable to walk to town as a family and had to use the car. The lower drive is unmade and public footpaths across farmland which were muddy, so difficult to take a buggy, and the access road in has no pavement. Position wise this house would be great for a couple who like hiking or families who use the car everywhere.
To put this into context we live in a very old cottage so we are used to quirky but this was just tired and for the money ….very poor value.
