Lovely cottage in a lovely village

Patrick and Anna-Maria were lovely, the wished us a lovely stay, excellent communication. Once we arrived in the cottage it automatically felt homely! Drive right outside so easy to unload suitcases. The cottage was lovely, clean and organised. We arrived to a lovely lemon drizzle sponge cake, tea and coffee, wood for the fireplace was free for us to use. Lovely pub nearby, had a lovely meal couldn’t fault it! Lovely walks nearby,would 100% be back!

Hidden Gem

Property has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The garden room has wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. There are sheep and cows in the field behind the properties garden. We saw a Roe Deer in the far field almost every morning. There were house martins nesting and Swallows flying about. The cottage is well situated for visiting lots of places. Lynton and Lynmouth, Porlock, the Valley of the Rocks and the beaches of Mortehoe and Woolacombe are all around 30 mins drive. Would thoroughly recommend staying at Brook Cottage and we look forward to staying here again.

A lovely week in this very comfortable and clean property. We especially liked the sun room where you could look out over the garden and surrounding fields. We had everything that we needed for our stay and would definitely stay here again should we come down to the area.

Lovely cottage, very relaxing and homely. The fire was great after a wet walk with the dog! Despite being next to the road it was really quiet when you were inside. Loved the views from the garden and conservatory. Well-kept cottage with great care and attention to detail from the owners.

Lovely location with fabulous views. Cottage was well equipped and cosy. Great for couples with dogs. Bedroom was delightful and the four poster bed almost too comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay. The Black Venus pub down the hill is worth visiting ( dog friendly) and the Village shop/ Post Office is a bit of a gem. We would definately stay here again. Nice garden which was enclosed and safe for dog.
