The welcome pack was well received, thank you. The only negatives were the lack of anywhere to hang coats and the constant noise from the main road across the fields. Obviously nothing can be done about the noise but a few more door/wall hooks is easily sorted

The accommodation is clean and comfortable it felt like a home from home, perfect location for a North Devon holiday. Ali and Andy were very welcoming hosts and were only a phone call away if needed. We would definitely return.
