The cottage was exactly what we were looking for after a very stressful year. The cottage was clean, well equipped and cosy for a couple who want lots of walks in the countryside. The local pubs, shops were well stocked and the people very friendly. We have no complaints and hope to return another time.

A home from home cottage which is very comfortable leaving you to want for nothing. The owners have thought of everything. It's a nice location for sightseeing also what with the A39 being close by so you can head off east or West. Some lovely walks close by also and is ideal for dogs. Would highly recommend

Thimble Cottage exceeded our expectations. Very well equipped, very clean, warm yet professional communication and attention from host. Lovely cottage and garden filled with bird song (technically probably gardens as there were 3 distinct areas around 3 sides of the cottage). Great location for us, on a quiet lane but short walk to the village where there were 2 well-stocked shops, a cafe and several pubs; lots of nice short dog walks from the cottage as well the coastal path and access to the shore just a couple of miles away. We wanted a distinct, quiet time to mark our transition to retirement- we can thoroughly recommend February at Thimble Cottage for such a purpose! … our dog loved it too.

We had a wonderful stay over Christmas at Thimble Cottage. A great spot for visiting Hartland Quay and Point then onto Clovelly Village. The cottage is well equipped and the bedroom has a comfy super king size bed. We will definitely return for another break here :)
