A really central location in North Devon for touring. Fantastic accomodation very clean, with the bonus of air con in the main area and a comfortable bed. The owners thoughtfully provided milk and tea and coffee. Entrance to site a bit tricky to find but once found easy to use.

The property was lovely and not too difficult to find following the owners directions. The bed was comfortable and the walk in shower was great. I have two little concerns but this is probably me being picky. The fridge had not ice box so unable to freeze anything during the break away. secondly the hob was a two ring electric one. I like to have boiled eggs for breakfast and I poured water from a just boiled kettle into a saucepan and I could not get the water to boil.
