Diana's Cottage

Diana’s cottage was in a good location for us as we wanted to visit the surrounding beaches. The cottage itself was very spacious, very clean, nicely decorated and was perfect for our little break. And the communication and customer service was very good!

A wonderful stay home from home. The cottage is oozing charm and character with a beautiful Oak staircase, Vintage furniture, Arts and crafts carved doors and an Arga in the kitchen. It has an inviting lived in feeling very removed from the sterile nature of many holiday let’s. It’s location, on the borders of the town is quiet and peaceful and yet only a short drive to the stunning local beaches.

Nothing!! Suggestions - just need a wood or plastic chopping board for bread and then meat preparation. Might be useful to have a washable large mat or rug as you step down from the front door. The sitting room carpet is cream and we were worried about getting it dirty and where to leave shoes on entry. Same thinking for wet coats, the hooks are at the base of the stairs over carpet so again you wouldn’t want to hang wet coats there. Maybe a shoe rack and hooks in the kitchen on the wall by the bread oven? It’s over the hard floor would prevent damage to the carpet.

lovely location, light, comfortable bed, good shower

garden not adjacent but not really a problem

character, location, historical buildings, easy access to nearby beaches and town but very quiet. the walled garden is also ideal for the kids and go to play in.

We loved the location, the views were fabulous and it was so peaceful and quiet. We also loved how warm and cosy it felt with the Aga in the kitchen. It was great to have a separate toilet to the bathroom with 4 adults staying and having a dishwasher was really handy. The bed in the main bedroom was really comfortable. Braunton was only a short distance away and there were some lovely shops and restaurants there. We had lunch at Shires which was delicious. Saunton was great for surfing and we had a lovely cliff walk from Croyde to Putsborough which had magnificent views and a great cafe for lunch.

The only thing we didn't like were the mattresses in the second bedroom, they weren't very comfortable unfortunately, fine for children but not great for adults. The kitchen could do with a wooden spoon as we couldn't find one. Apart from that, the facilities were great and we had everything we needed.
