October 2022
We booked quite last minute for October half term. We had a lovely week, the cottage had everything we needed and worked well for us. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. The on-site farm animals were great for our children and the alpaca walking was a really memorable experience and not something we would necessarily have thought of doing previously. The on-site cafe was tasty and good value too.
August 2022
Lovely cottage for our family of four. Stuart and Cathy were friendly and helpful showing us around when we arrived, and available to answer any questions we had. Our kids loved being able to walk around the farm park every evening and see the animals. Great location for the coast (around Bude) and Exmoor. Also several lovely farms shops nearby (Fiona's and Blackberry Farm).
