This is a "quirky" (but in a good way) property and it was great to stay in something a bit different. Someone has obviously invested a lot of time and effort in producing the artistic touches which make it interesting and not run-of-the-mill. Very quiet location and dog friendly. Local pub and take-away just up the road were great and the main attractions in the area are only a short distance away so hardly any travelling to see things.

We was really looking forward to our stay at Straw Cottage and was not dissatisfied. Everything was so comfortable especially the bed. There was nothing else we needed everything was provided! We spent a perfect week relaxing and recharging our batteries! Would definitely recommend.

Pretty and quirky. Good value. Not good if you like a bit more luxury!

What a lovely place , would definitely recommend , well thought out to give you privacy if that's what you want ,had a lovely week enjoyed the hot tub , good location , and thank you for the biscuits & eggs .

Had a lovely holiday, used the cottage as base to see this part of Devon we hadn't visited before, Lynton and Lynmouth a must visit, Village shop has excellent quality food and service without fault, village fish and chips also excellent cooked fresh whilst you wait. Best if all after days trekking around come back to straw cottage to relax in hot tub.

I didn't actually go due to work commitments, but my inlaws came down instead and were at pains to tell me how lovely it was - and that I would have loved it. They also gave the owners a 10/10

When we arrived the owners greeted us and gave us the information about the property and it’s features. We discovered a fault with the TV and let the owners know. By the next morning we had a brand new one waiting for us by the door! Great service lovely location. Will 100% be back

Great place, so nice and cosy. Log burner was amazing and so was the hot tub! The kitchen had all the amenities to cook they had thought of everything ! Will stay again in the future.

Straw Cottage is absolutely gorgeous, the owners have truly thought of everything. We loved the location, hot tub and the bed was super comfy and we had the best nights sleep! Thoughtful little touches from the moment you arrive, made a truly unforgettable stay- thank you so much.

What a little gem. A really delightful cottage for two. Hand-crafted in so many ways, with character and cosiness. The outside garden area was also lovely, with a hot-tub that was much enjoyed each day after walking the N Devon coast. David and Bex were the perfect hosts' to add to a very enjoyable stay at Straw Cottage. Thoroughly recommended.

Really lovely cottage, cosy with beautiful touches. Really enjoyed the hot tub and wood burner. The outside area was fabulous, though going in October we didn't get to make the most of it. Would love to go back in better weather.Beautiful setting, hot tub always ready at a lovely temperature, wood burner, garden and outdoor space, bedroom overlooking the garden and all the lovely artistic touches. Dave and Bex were also very friendly and helpful. Pub in the village 'The Farmers Arms' was excellent.

Liked - Tasteful furnishings, quirky features, friendly owners, super hot-tub, excellent local pub Not so happy about - weak WiFi

Its quite and a relaxing place to stay. Local inn for a special meal out is worth waiting for.

The Straw cottage is a perfect place to unwind and also delight in the North Devon UNESCO biosphere reserve . If you visit at the right time you have the chance of seeing over 15 spp of orchids at Braunton Burrows. On the coast we saw Porpoises daily including a newly born calf.

We really loved our stay at Straw cottage. The cottage itself is well equipped and beautifully decorated. It’s really cosy and ever so clean. The hot tub was lovely to use on the eve. The surrounding areas were lovely to go and view. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to book a stay at the cottage.
