Perfect little get away. So clean and the bed was very comfortable. Beautiful little self contained garden. You are attached to the owners property but we only saw them once the whole week when we collected our key on the first day. The nearby pub is just over the road and we had a few drinks in there but a word of warning . Don't order the food . Just awful!...

If you want a beautiful cottage and garden in a lovely part of North Devon, then Little Bessemer is for you. Such a relaxing week with my wife and our little terrier dog who loved running on the sands of Wooolacombe & Saunton. Thoroughly recommended. ...

Probably the best all round accommodation that we have stayed in throughout our many years of travelling around Europe and the British Isles. We intend to return next year.

Little Bessemer ticked all the boxes for a dog-friendly country cottage. We cannot recommend it highly enough.
Mrs Keen May 2016
Lovely, comfortable and very well-equipped cottage in a welcoming village.The owners were very helpful suggesting places and things to see, but were not intrusive.
Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed in this cottage, with the few exceptions stated in our Review Guidelines.
