Perfect for a couple on a short break. For longer stays some might prefer a separate bedroom. Loved the quiet location and little garden. Excellent for visiting nearby National Trust and RHS properties Always pleased to receive the welcome goodies!
No signal to watch any TV in the evening even when using wifi

Spacious property. Plenty of crockery and cutlery. Good bedding and towels. Lovely view. Good parking. Quiet location.
Told we could check in early but cleaning staff hadn't been told and property wasn't ready. A strong chemical had been sprayed inside which caused skin irritation after first night.
Property was VERY damp. Bathroom floor was so cold that it was wet through every morning with condensation. Unable to dry this out. No window in bathroom for air circulation. Not helped by leaking cental heating radiator in bathroom that had rotted through. This let all the pressure out of the heating system so the boiler would not turn on for radiators. Very uncomfortable sofas. WiFi signal poor. TV signal poor. Mattress needs replacing as springs could be felt when lying on it. Overall, disappointing.

The location was great, lovely little cottage and the facilities were all that we needed.
Unfortunately the cable TV and WiFi did not work whilst we were there too weak a signal but there was a large group staying in the main house

Very cosy cottage at the end of a long driveway. It was very clean and everything you needed for a short stay. Not too far from the main town and was very quiet.
Wasn’t clear from the advert as to how close the main house was the cottage but wasn’t a problem and you have your own separate fenced garden.

A lovely comfortable cottage in a great location. Highly recommend 👍
The only criticism is that some of the woodwork on the windows and the front door needs some attention......the rest of the cottage is in good order.

I tried to call the owner about our arrival and how to enter the cottage. To my surprise I saw it was an Australian phone-number?? So I emaild the owner. Got a quick and nice reply with the code of the keysafe and the phonenumber of the estatemanager in case we should need more help.
The cottage itself was easy to find and to reach by the driveway. Enough parkingspace. Nice and spacious cottage with everything we need. Bit strange that the livingroom is also the bedroom, but that's how it is. Handsoap, towels, cuttlery, pans, watercooker, tea, coffee, hot chocolatpowder etc. etc. were all available.
Had a nice and quiet stay.
P.S. For those who wonder where the wifi password is: It is at the bottom-side of the router ;)
The seats of the couches are much too soft, so you sink very far into them. This makes it almost impossible to get out of the couch. New couches with a firmer seat would be a good improvement.
In the kitchen we missed a "Stir fry pan". If you want to make a one-pan dish or a stir fry dish, you can't get along with the pans present. Adding a good Stir fry pan would be an improvement as well.

The Location was further from Barnstaple than expected.
The property needs new entrance door and New windows, also a new latch for inside door. More shelves / cupboards in bathroom. Bus time tables would be good.

Lovely location. Quiet and clean, comfortable cottage.
Nice to have dishwasher and modern shower room. Complementary wine was lovely.
Bed very comfortable.
Easier access to the Wi-Fi code would’ve been helpful. We found it eventually. It would be good if the door catch worked between main room and entrance. Our dog kept going out into the entrance. It would’ve been nice to have some racking/shelf in the shower to put soap/shampoo on.

Lovely sunny location, easy instructions to find and parking out front. Pretty garden to side of property with nice outlook over fields. Comfortable bed and great shower.
Would have appreciated a folder with information about the appliances in the property, and info on Barnstaple

Superb location
Value for money
Comfortable accommodation
Disliked being woken by the owner a day before leaving due to them having our wrong departure date. We did not appreciate them knocking the door & phoning before double checking the booking confirmation. There was no apology forthcoming which we found a little discourteous. Although we were not affected & enjoyed a peaceful stay it was mentioned to us that Priory House, which is located nearby, holds stag parties etc. This would be of concern to us with regards to noise & impact on any decision to rebook in the future.
