  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.

  Nice listing. host was communicative and was able to answer any questions. The house was a restored cottage, fairly well equipped kitchen and nice size. Ceilings low if you are over 6ft tall but that is to be expected for these old cottages. great location in N Molton. Friendly pub with good food .... Nice listing. host was communicative and was able to answer any questions. The house was a restored cottage, fairly well equipped kitchen and nice size. Ceilings low if you are over 6ft tall but that is to be expected for these old cottages. great location in N Molton. Friendly pub with good food within walking distance. A village shop open 7 days a week in walking distance as well which sold everything you might need plus some fresh baked scones. About 40min drives to other parts of N Devon, including coast, exmoor, zoo, and Watermouth theme park/castle. overall great place to stay.

  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.

  The cottage was lovely, as was the location.

  There wer a couple of small issues and one larger one. When we entered the cottage the carpets did noy look like they had been hoovered, also we gave our dog a drink of water some of which spilled on the kitchen/living area floor. When we wiped it up the tissue was filthy so the floor had clearly not been washed. The main issue though was the size of the main bed. It was the smallest double we have ever seen, as such we didn't sleep well all week and neither my wife or myself are large people. Even the pillows stuck out over the bedside tables. I think either one bedside table or smaller ones would be much better with a bigger bed. This was the only thing that would stop us returning
