  A lovely place to stay, with plenty to do.

  Having the private beach was a real bonus as no need to get in the car if planning a day at the beach. Our grandson enjoyed the play area and had lots of fun together with children from the other cottages. The cottage was as described, and yes small but adequate for us and our grandson. We struggled to sleep well due to the small double bed which I had read about in previous reviews but chose to ignore hoping this issue may have been addressed.The cottage is nicely decorated and fairly well equipped, the towels were lovely and soft and although small , the bed was comfy. Our dog was also well catered for, treats, poo bags and even a towel. The animals were very friendly ,well cared for and enjoyed being fed on a regular basis (food available from the shared utility room). We didn’t have a problem with the wi-fi or mobile signal as was previously mentioned in reviews. Staff very friendly and seldom seen so not intrusive in any way. The location is excellent, plenty of walking directly from the farm and a very short drive to Ilfracombe for supplies or day out etc. Also walking distance to local attractions and eateries. All in all a fabulous place to stay and highly recommend.

  Me and my mum spent a week at Spring Cottage and had a wonderful time.

  The cottage is very cosy and the location is brilliant for exploring Lynton and Lynmouth. The owner Keith was lovely and even dropped a pint of milk round when we first arrived so we could have a cup of tea. My only compliant was that the kitchen equipment could do with some upgrading. We tended to go out for lunch and come back to the cottage in the evenings to cook dinner. There were plenty of glasses, plates and cutlery etc but there were no wooden cooking implements, the knives were very blunt with no sharpener and the pans and were a little scratched. Also worth noting that there’s no WIFI and the TV is very small and only gets channels 1 to 5. We didn’t mind too much as we were happy to relax, read and listen to music but WIFI or a DVD player etc would have been nice so we could have watched a film in the evening. Other than that we had a lovely time and would come back again.

  Great location.

  Easy check in. Easy to find, ample parking. Cottage interior tired and enclosed garden still had gaps dog could get through. Lack of WiFi not an issue and had good phone signal. All the crockery and cutlery had a fusty smell and needed washing before using and if you put it away in between it needed washing again as you could taste it! This would prevent me staying here again. Smaller bedroom full of spiders that just kept coming! Appreciate it’s rural - we live rurally ourselves - but this was the only room with the issue. 11 year old wouldn’t go to bed without us checking and removing. Listing had stated there’s an electric meter but there wasn’t which was good news! We had some bad news and had to leave early so couldn’t do the full week. We had a nice stay otherwise.

  The cottage was beautiful.

  The setting was lovely with all the animals having free roam of the land too was so nice to see. For the 3 of us and a dog Martin Cottage was just perfect, everything well presented and clean. The single room door sticks from the inside but when mentioned to a staff member they were willing to address it straight away if needed. Staff would walk past regularly and great our fur baby numerous times which she just loved. The cottages are set hire local to Hele Bay, we didn’t manage to do the costal walk with an 8 week old but would definitely do it when we return. The private beach is a little rocky but is beautiful and very easy to get too, wish we had spent more time there. Overall lovely stay and looking forward to booking up again in the future.

  The cottage is very well furnished with the exception of the bed in the main bedroom which was narrower than a normal double bed.

  However the living area was very cramped and it was necessary to move furniture for comfort. The toilet brush was broken and cobwebs on the bedroom ceiling gave doubts about the cleaning regime, also despite being, quite rightly, asked to clear up after our dog there wsa a large amount of goose droppings in the parking area and by the cottages. While this can be expected in fields on a farm by holiday cottages and parking it is not acceptable. As there is to mobile phone signal there it was not good that there was no on-site contact in case of emergency, leaving a mobile number was not much use. All in all we were quite disappointed with Martin Cottage where we had been looking forwerd to staying.
