We loved the property the kids weren’t too impressed in the signal coverage but that’s Devon for you haha, but we loved it nonetheless
Only issue is the parking but we found parking by the old train station up the hill from the property literally 2mins away up and behind the property. The Ring go car park to the left of the property on the main road, good thing was when we got there after 6pm before 8am is free so we only had to pay 2 hours, but all day when you’re going on hikes and stuff with the dog and kids it was too expensive.

It was very charming and in a good location East of the Water.
There was no table to eat a meal on inside and television was tucked away upstairs and on the floor with no instructions.

Enjoyed the decor and effort put into presentation of property.
It has local residential parking.
Really great use of smaller space! Lots of board games and activities to keep young kids busy.
Really well kitted out kitchen & amenities.
Lovely courtyard area- pizza oven available if you want to use it.
Really nice shower! Great den up on the top floor for kids to hang out in.
Parking difficult to locate- need slightly better map / written / photograph of where to park - difficult to locate when arriving when it’s dark.

Good location to Bideford.
- House had a very damp/musty smell when walking in.
- Not enough hand soap/toilet roll for a family of 6 for the length of stay we booked (had to buy more).
- TV didn’t have normal free view channels, contacted the owner to ask how to use TV and she did not know.
- Very dusty, could do with cleaning.
- Blankets provided had a musty smell, bath towels old and very small.
- Scouring pad in kitchen looked very old and used.

Cosy and good central location. Beds were comfy. We changed the details of our stay a couple of time and Charlotte was very accommodating regarding this.
Shower tray is very shallow so overflowed during first use. Had to be very quick using the shower to avoid this happening again. Mortice lock was not locked on arrival and we were unable to lock it during our stay- the Yale lock was fine and it didn’t particularly bother us. However more security conscious guests may find this worrying.
Lots and lots of ornaments etc which cluttered up the space- again not a massive issue but not much room for the ‘stuff’ a family of 5 has!

The location was really good, parking was close by. The cottage was cute and welcoming. We had a lot of fun with the games.

Wonderful location & lovely cosy cottage.
Only one bathroom (no
downstairs cloakroom) & the stairs to the third bedroom upstairs are very steep - ok for younger ones, not so good for oldies with knee problems!

Nothing not to like

Location. Price. Was suitable for our needs. Any problems we had were down to me, not checking fine details when booking.
The mattresses on the floor. We're all nearly 70, so I should have read the small print.
The kettle took ages to boil and weighs a ton.
No TV. In lounge area.
Nowhere to hang coats.
Decor is cute but over the top. Twigs over the bed...not for me.
Again, not the hosts fault. We should have checked in more detail.

The decor was cute and quirky, the courtyard with the outside fire was lovely. The BBQ in the secret garden was great. Great supply of games, enjoyed not having a tv - able to really spend family time together. Easy walk into town . Very well stocked kitchen.
Bathroom floor flooded, no table so if weather had not been so good would’ve struggled.

Nice cottage in a good location if you want to base yourself in Bideford.
Didn't feel comfortable parking in road above the cottage it was very narrow for my car and also quite secluded. I parked in council carpark across the road it cost £5 a day and also made it easier to load car. I would definitely pay as there were daily checks done and a few cars had parking fines on them.

The decor was lovely and the cottage was very comfortable
It was quite a walk from the car so unpacking and re-packing was tricky

Well equipped kitchen. Adjacent car park was only £5 per day and this provided excellent access to Bideford and local attractions
We were 5 adults, one with mobility issues. We felt that the accommodation - both bedrooms and lounge - was perhaps suitable for 3 adults and 2 children, but for 5 adults rather tight, and access for the one with mobility issues difficult. Sleep in the attic was also disturbed by the boiler. The interior was not particularly to our taste, although we were amused by the wording of some of the wall plaques and the decoration of the courtyard. We suggest that arrival details should be revised to make it clear that parking in the adjacent quayside car park and unloading from there is recommended with no reference to the potential free car parking above the Tarka Trail. The map we were e-mailed simply confused us and made unloading from the free car parking unnecessarily difficult. Also state that the cottage is not directly on Barnstable St. but up an alleyway from it.

The cottage was very quaint & nicely decorated & fitted out & the large bean bags were a very good idea. Great to have the courtyard at the back & the 'secret garden'. Unfortunately, we couldn't really make use of it all as we were only there for 2 nights to attend a family funeral on this trip. And the wake was at the Royal where a lot of the others were staying so very convenient. But I loved to just sit at night with the fairy lights on which was very peaceful & comforting after the stressful day. The 2 double beds were very comfortable but not so with the 2 singles for my older sons (but are aware now they are meant for children).
We weren't aware that the twin bedded room was an attic room with stairs off one of the doubles & intended for children (which would be perfect for that purpose) but my daughter was in one of the doubles & her 2 brothers upstairs (who both snore!) so wasn't ideal in our situation.
An extra shower room or toilet would have been nice aswell with a few of us but for 2 nights, we managed ok.
The unloading of the car wasn't ideal having to walk up & down the hill to the cottage each time (& our stay was short with no children) but we parked across the road after & were happy to pay. But once inside & settled, the cottage was very homely with a cosy feel & nice atmosphere.

Quirky little cottage. Clean and comfortable. Great location for Bideford and the Tarka trail.
Nicely equipped kitchen. Two double bedrooms.
Bathroom adequate but very small, floor wet after a shower, maybe a shower curtain would help.?
The stairs to the attic twin room are in one of the double bedrooms and there's no door to separate, okay for children but not really suitable for adults. There's No microwave, so if you're used to using one, you'll need to cook properly 😉.

Lovely quiet location next to Tarka Trail. Comfortable bed, excellent quality furniture and fittings througout. Loved the bean bags. Well equipped, with all the essential items needed for your stay. Well thought out decorated house which enhanced the atmosphere of the cottage. Excellent shower, easy to use. Lovely secret garden opposite cottage.
We unfortunately got absolutely soaked on the Friday. No where to hang four wet coats, possibly a couple of hooks in the bathroom above the bath. The main bedroom could do with a small table style shelf to put things on like your wallet, watch, etc.
