Myself and my father spent a lovely week in this beautiful accommodation in South Molton. Firstly the location was amazing, on a working farm and surrounded by sheep. This detached converted barn was accessed by it's own driveway and included private parking and a lovely grass area out the front, with amazing views over the landscape. The area is vRead moreery peaceful and we enjoyed the company of the sheep and lambs that would come over to the fence when we was sitting on the terrace. We was both very pleased once inside the property, the size, the layout, the amenities and the comfort. Also, the property is spotless and the cleaning was to a very high standard. The location is great to visit many towns, villages and around 25 miles to some great beaches. And we can't forget Katie the owner of the property. Very helpful with advise and information regarding the local area, and always available to answer any questions we had. It was very interesting to learn about the farm too. We highly recommend this property, and to have a lovely owner in Katie around made our stay even better. Kind regards Justin and Keith Hide

We absolutely loved the Woodcutters Cottage. The location, the peace and quiet and the bird life, including pheasants and owls. We were within easy distance of some lovely walks and enjoyed some pub lunches in the surrounding villages. We always take one week a year of our holidays in a English holiday let and this cottage was one of the best we haRead moreve had. Hide

Fantastic holiday cottage with lovely countryside views. Kate, the owner, is lovely, offering local knowledge about the area. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped, and very peaceful. Just the birds and the sheep to listen to. If we ever go back to that area we will definitely look at staying again.

Amazing property and host. We went for our Honeymoon with our two children aged 2 and 4. They absolutely loved the cottage, the sheep, sheepdogs and outdoor areas. It was such a relaxing stay. Katie was welcoming and responsive to messages. Thank you for an amazing stay

A warm and friendly welcome from Kate set the tone for our stay which we thoroughly enjoyed. From the cottage, it is easy to access lots of different attractions (N. Coast, Woolacombe/Croyde, Torrington), and shopping in S.Molton is straightforward. Fabulous views and all the facilities make this an excellent place for a relaxing break.
