We had a really lovely and relaxing stay at Straw Cottage. There was plenty to explore on our doorstep, we had wonderful trips to Clovelly, Appledore and Westward Ho! all within a short drive. The cottage itself was a delight, we had everything we needed. We enjoyed a BBQ on the terrace, a hot tub most days, and lots of cosy evenings in by the fire, particularly enjoyable with fish & chips from the local pub (the best we've had). Our spaniel thoroughly enjoyed the holiday too, especially making friends with the owner's spaniel Rusty. Thank you x...

Wonderful quirky property, with all the amenities, Hot tub was clean and fantastic for relaxing in, If you visit Heartland Abbey, the food and service at the Kings Arms Heartland was great and excellent value for money.

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at Straw Cottage. In a nut shell, it was perfect. What's not to like here :-)

The cottage was beautifully furnished, set in a quite location overlooking fields. Everything you could want from a quiet and relaxing retreat with added bonus of a hot tub from which you can listen to the birds or watch the stars. The owners are friendly and helpful but not intrusive. We normally met when we were walking our dog around the grounds and he was happy to play with the owners dog. There is a deep step to the lounge which you have to negotiate and then steps up to an amazing mezzanine hide-hole if you wish. Kitchen is small but will all the necessary equipment. Simply put a delightful and artistic retreat. Pre-book the Farmers Arms if you intend to eat there as they are busy....
