A hidden gem.

We spent a week in 'The Stables', a lovely cottage, very well equipped, cosy and warm, a good thing if you're booking in Autumn/Winter. The cottage is tucked away in the countryside but within easy reach of Ilfracombe and central for visiting many other places. The host, Alex, was friendly & helpful & communication over booking and access was excellent. I would highly recommend this cottage and will certainly be visiting again.
