Home from home cottage, well equipped, comfortable

Rose FLP Darwen, Lancashire
Review Submitted: September 24, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
This was such a well equipped cottage with a lovely small garden. Although it opened onto the road this was no problem even with our small dog as there was so little traffic going through the village.

The bed were extremely comfortable and made up when we arrived. It was extremely well equipped with all the kitchen equipment we needed.

It's situated right in the countryside very close to Exmoor and the seaside easily reached. Very dog friendly as lots of local walks.

We could rely on the descriptions left by the owners of where to eat. They were spot on - and what good food!

To make the perfect holiday we had excellent weather!

Excellent Holiday

Ian, Rose and Candy the Cavalier Lancashire
Review Submitted: September 20, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Thoroughly recommended. This has to be the very best rental we've enjoyed in here in the UK for many a year: clean, well-maintained, excellent liaison with owner throughout booking period. The cottage is supplied with all the essentials of life - and featured not only a full range of cooking utensils, but also beds which were comfortable. Lovely secluded and private garden. So very comfortable ! Locals friendly - it was good to stay in a working village. Within easy reach of many attractive north Devon towns, and many pubs and restaurants featured food so good that more than a week here would have shot our diets completely. Dog friendly.

This was a holiday, in a wonderful setting, which we will remember for many many years.

A perfect place to see North Devon

Stuart & Fiona Glasgow
Review Submitted: August 6, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We had a very pleasant and comfortable stay at the Pottery. Bishops Nympton is very much still a working farm village and none the worse for that, with the community shop two doors down and the pub over the road from that. It is very centrally situated for touring North Devon: everywhere from Ilfracombe to Clovelly to Exmoor is about 25-30 miles or 45 minutes by car. Although the weather wasn't so good there is still plenty to do and see. We recommend the attractions round Ilfracombe for those with kids, including quad biking, Chambercombe Manor (haunted house) and a couple of funfairs. The local enthusiasm for sheep racing (we saw it twice) is a bit odd though.

Tony and Viv couldn't have been more helpful in dealing with arrangements and recommending places to eat and visit, and the cottage is clearly a labour of love. One word of warning though - if you're tall (and we are all over six foot) take a crash helmet or be prepared to develop a stoop!

We have just had a brilliant holiday at The Pottery,very clean and comfy,lovely welcome from Viv and Tony.You are twenty mins away from safe sandy beaches,lots to do in the area for all the family,although you do need a car.Lovely area for walkers right from the doorstep.Shop,pub and a lovely church only steps away from the cottage.
Tony and Viv did a brilliant job keeping us updated of all the things to do and see places to eat and places to avoid.
Our stay went far too quickly.Would recommend.

The perfect retreat

Karen and Don Shoreham-By-Sea, West Sussex
Review Submitted: January 7, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
A beautiful comfy cosy cottage, very clean and well equipped to meet all our needs. The Village is well located with very friendly people who made us welcome to celebrate the New Year in the lovely Snare and Gin Trap pub just a stones throw away, which also serves the biggest mixed grill and T. Bone steaks - definitely worth a visit. The Corn Dolly in South Moulton was also excellent where we had a cheese tea and lovely home made soup, would like to return in the summer to enjoy a cream tea. This was the perfect place to escape after the Christmas rush, very relaxing in front of the fire with a good book and DVD's. Lovely walks and views on frosty mornings. Enjoyed a walk on Westward Ho! Beach followed by a brandy to defrost afterwards. The information and service from Tony and Viv was excellent and we certainly hope to return in the future and have already recommended it to friends and colleagues.
Owner's Response: Thank you Karen and Don, we're glad you had such a good time! We look forward to welcoming you back again.
