What our customers say about their holidays

  We booked this property for 6 nights to enable us to look around the area with a view of purchasing a bolt hole in UK from our main home in Cyprus.

  Once we stepped inside this house we realised that it was exactly what we wanted to buy. Unfortunately all the 2 bed properties on this development were sold. We have now managed to place a holding deposit on a smaller 2 bed property in Abbotsham. If it was nit fir staying in this property, it would not have given us the idea of buying new. The property is the best holiday property that we have ever stayed in and I can vouch that we have stated in many throughout the World. It has everything supplied that you cancwish for, on top of being in a really quiet and peaceful area, within walking distance of Appledore. The price we paid for the six nights was very cheap, and this property could fetch double, and I would still have been happy. I may need to book again sometime in May/ June if it's available, to complete on my new house purchase. We would certainly recommend this property to family and friends. If we were really being picky to fault anything, we would say that the Double bed could have been a bit wider if it was possible to get it into the bedroom. Other than that the property was 5*so and more.

  Where can we start!

  What a wonderful break and a beautiful cottage over looking the rolling hills of Parkham. We have 3 young children (6 and 8 year old twins) and they loved the farm and the waking up the the sheep on the fields beside the cottage. The two chickens are child friendly and the children loved holding and feeding them. Most of all Susan and Tom (or as our children referred to him as Farmer Tom) were amazing with the children and always on hand for help or advice on things to do on a rainy day. You could not get anyone better than them. A few nights where rather cold so we lit the fire and listened to the peace and quite outside. If you get lost on route google map it and drop a pin this is the easiest way to find the cottage. We will definitely look to return here as it was so peaceful and beautiful. Also a great location for the busier places such at Bideford and Westward Ho. Thanks again to Tom and Susan for such a memorable holiday.

  Absolutely perfect and exactly what I was looking for.

  I stayed at the Cider House for a week on my own, a bit of a solo retreat as I wanted somewhere peaceful I could just relax and swim. The cottage itself is gorgeous, so cosy and full of quirks, also incredibly spacious with everything you could need/want in the kitchen. The bed and bedding were some of the comfiest I’ve ever slept on :) Having access to the pool was dreamy - it’s shared with the other cottage residents but generally had it to myself when I wanted to swim (several times a day) and was wonderful to be able swim with farm animals all around! Location was great too - felt very rural and peaceful but literally 3-4 minutes from a big Tesco and only a few mins more to the town of Bideford and also a great location for exploring Devon, and has the gigantic beach at Westward Ho! under 10 mins drive away. Family fun farm and everybody was so friendly and helpful, quick to respond etc. All in all 10/10!

  Such a beautiful property in such a beautiful place, the views were stunning.

  Mr and Mrs Hunt were so friendly and very kindly put out the sheep for the children to enjoy. They also left some lovely scones, cream and jam on our arrival day. The property was very clean and well looked after, the master bedroom mattress was very comfy much better than ours at home. We loved the traditional vibe of the property, it was very homely and made us feel very happy. It was the perfect holiday cottage for us, close to Bideford and all the tourist destinations such as appledore, Saunton beach and Lynton and Lynmouth a bit further along the coast. The wi-fi was fairly good and it was nice to not have phone signal and be non contactable from the outside world.We would definitely stay again at this property, hopefully next year if I can get the right time off. Thank you Mr and Mrs Hunt, we all loved the cottage and hope to be back in the near future.

  Tom and Susan are such welcoming hosts.

  We had scones, jam and cream awaiting us on arrival and they were very happy to have a chat and make recommendations. In advance of our visit, I asked about riding stables and Susan called me back with a suggestion within minutes. Nothing was too much trouble. The cottage is beautifully situated in a lovely valley and the quiet is wonderful ! It's easy to stroll up to the village (and The Bell Inn is excellent and were well organised during these strange times). We found North Devon a delight. Not too crowded, lovely sandy beaches within an easy distance, good body-boarding to be had and lovely walks. We had mixed weather but it really didn't matter - it was wonderful to get away and to have a change of scene. We'd highly recommend The Cottage and its lovely owners. It was a very special week and we really did get away from it all !
