Guests say
Oriel Cottage receives high praise for its cleanliness, comfort, and facilities, including a hot tub and well-equipped kitchen. The location is appreciated for its peacefulness and proximity to local attractions. Guests commend the property's maintenance and the welcoming nature of the hosts.
Guests consistently mention the cottage's immaculate condition, noting it is very clean and well-presented. One review mentioned a need for a better sweep, but this seems an isolated incident.
The location is described as peaceful and ideal for exploring North Devon, with a mix of countryside and towns nearby. Some guests noted the private access road and the need for a U-turn, but overall the location is well-regarded.
The cottage is frequently described as comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds and a cosy feel. One guest found the sofa uncomfortable, but this appears to be a singular opinion.
Facilities are highly praised, including a well-equipped kitchen, spacious garden, and a hot tub. The property is also dog-friendly. A comment about the hot tub's jets suggests a possible need for servicing, but overall satisfaction with facilities is high.
While guests express appreciation for the property and hosts, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, a score cannot be given for thoughtfulness.

Quiet and peaceful with great privacy. Huge hot tub which we enjoyed at the end of most days. Cottage is lovely and warm. First impressions were that it was a bit far from the places we wanted to visit but soon found out we could get anywhere we wanted to go in half an hour. Excellent place if you are bringing a dog

It's is isolated , no phone signal and does have farming around it . So there will be farmyard noises and smells if you are happy with that then it's a great place . The lane you drive up is sooo much longer than your expecting , but it's worth the trip . Clean well appointed and has good broadband. Plenty of wildlife as well house martins , deer and buzzards . Not far from some great dog friendly beaches
