What a find! Really quiet village location, only short distance from coastal footpath, and just a stone's throw away from great local pub. The hosts, Sarah and Jon, were lovely, and all the locals we met were so friendly. The kitchen was well equipped and we felt very much at home. The garden offers sunny and shady areas to sit, the latter being very welcome as it was so hot the week we were there. Lots of beautiful coves nearby for safe bathing and easy access to the bigger towns of Ilfracombe and Combe Martin. Also, plenty of local walks. We will definitely be back next year, if it isn't fully booked!...

What a little ‘Gem’ but not so little for two . Home from Home . The secluded private garden ,at the beginning of May, looked amazing in both the wet and the sunshine. The Cottage is …. oh so comfortable . Self catering was a pleasure in the kitchen which provided every piece of equipment required for the creative cook. The Cottage was spotless and very tastefully decorated .Sarah and Jon were friendly and most helpful with advice on places to visit. The village is delightful , and the locals welcoming . We thoroughly enjoyed the Coronation BBQ and joined in with The Morris Dancers at the end of a glorious week . Thank you to everyone in Berrynarbor. ...
