We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was well equipped. The parking was easy and the pool was well looked after and clean. Great location for exploring north Devon. The local Beaches are beautiful and we saw Dolphins on our first evening down at Westward Ho! Lovely places to visit like Clovelly, Appledore and Woolacombe beach. You can walk to Westwood Read moreHo! Where the restaurants and beach is But not easy with small children. We would stay again. Hide

Over all, the cottage was ok and quiet for sleeping, and within easy driving distance of various locations. One of the reasons we booked the cottage, was so we could have use of the swimming pool and disappointed when we were told it was closed.

Just had a most enjoyable stay at the beautifully clean and excellently equipped Goldings Cottage, the owners could not have been nicer people making us feel very welcome. Would thoroughly recommend and would love to return again in the future.

Goldings cottage was lovely and we really enjoyed our break. The cottage was immaculate, and we appreciated the little touches, such as bottles of the local brew, waiting for us on the dining table. It's quiet location, and the lovely outdoor pool, made for a lovely holiday. We cannot wait to go back
