The little cottage was perfect for me and my 2 little ones. It was very clean and tidy and well equipped. The kitchen had everything you need for a break away, although no freezer compartment in the fridge which would have been good for keeping things like fishfingers in for the kids.
The double bed en quilt was very comfortable and the area is very quiet at night so slept great.
Good shower as well and the breakfast area in the conservatory was lovely.
Only downsides just for information were 1. that there’s no view from the conservatory/patio so was a bit boring sitting out there staring at a brown fence, and 2. it was quite a long walk to get to the beach - at least 20 mins if you’re walking with little kids, and probably wouldn’t want to carry all your beach gear with you. So we had to drive to the beach with all our stuff and pay £9 for full day parking.
But this would not deter us from staying here again, the cottage itself was perfect and Sue was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place.

Ideal location and accommodation
Very pleasantly surprised. Ideal location quiet and only 5 to 10 mins from beach and shops, pubs and all other facilities. Accommodation had everything you would need and much more for a lovely stay. Perfect secluded gardens.

Sorry you found some things difficult, you did not let us know you need to use a zimmer frame, had you asked this question before booking we would have advised not to book.

Little Haven
Ideally situated for visits to Northampton Burrows, Appledore, Bideford, Bucks Mills and Clovelly.Good restaurants nearby include Morans, Rock Pool cafe, Country Cousins and Golden Fry Fish and Chips.Plenty of dog friendly tea rooms in Appledore. This is a very clean and well equipped bungalow and the owners have obviously taken a great deal of time ensuring this is a home from home. However the double bed had broken springs and was very uncomfortable. Also, WiFi would be good for researching places to visit.

Perfectly located cosy cottage
Location was great with beach 5 mins walk away, good access to public transport, cosy bungalow equipt with all you need, tesco on door step, amusements for kids 5 mins walk. Only things I feel could be improved are the lack of wifi as signal
Strength isn't great for 4G/3G and quite frustrating when trying to look up local places to visit, also there was a very strong smell of damp across all rooms, was very clean but smell was off putting and we couldn't use cupboards as smell would transfer onto clothes, air fresheners were left but this just added to the issues. I would stay here again if these two issues were addressed.

There is free wifi in the local pubs & restaurants(5 min walk). The smell was from a pine wood wardrobe which has now been put right.

Northam Burrows is just opposite the end of the road and the famous Links Golf Club (Royal North Devon Golf Course ) approx 10 mins away. The visitors centre gives information on the area's history and walks and talks are available. The pebble ridge separates the beach from the Burrows. Fabulous coastal walks along the cliffs at Westward Ho and the views are terrific. There is horse riding nearby and surfing is of course one of the most popular activities in this area.
