We have stayed in many many properties in the U.K. and this was the hardest to leave! The property is amazing and has both a modern look whilst older features are kept.

Fabulous cottage with every eventuality catered for. So spacious as to give privacy where it might be needed with 8 people. The hub of the house is definitely the kitchen diner: light and airy with fabulous views of the beautifully kept large garden.

A good sized holiday home in a decent location for easy access to beach, shops and eating/drinking places. Facilities were clean and comfy although some more plates and bowls were needed to rotate when being washed. Apart from the large bedroom the other double and twin are very small. Layout of the house could be better (ie massive dining room notRead more that useful) but its an old cottage in part so is what it Is. Agents were helpful and easy to get hold of.

(1) PLEASE make sure the garden is more secure - a short wire fence is not really an enclosed garden. Both our large dogs were able to jump the fence and escape onto the busy road (2) We weren't aware that there were steps from the kitchen to the rest of the house - very tricky for an active toddler just able to walk - add to the description?

Lovely cottage and garden, it is on a busy road and if all 3 car spaces are in use, it can be difficult to see to get out. Maybe a mirror might help.

A beautiful, well equipped cottage. Its just a short walk into town, so had some meals out without the car. Our two dogs loved the large enclosed garden and its fencing was completely safe keeping them in. The short drive to dog friendly Saunton beech was easy and plenty of parking there too.,

Folly Farm East was comfortable and well equipped. The secure garden was safe for dogs and small children, and we enjoyed evening barbecues there. It made an excellent base for our family to explore local beaches, go cycling, running, dog walking and SUPing! Wed thoroughly recommend a holiday there.
