Cottage holiday rentals in Barnstaple

Linsey was very approachable, always answered any questions. My grandad fell ill the day we were meant to come and she was very understanding as why we couldn’t make it

Lovely cottage, had everything we needed for a great week. Well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. All the crockery, utensils and pans you need for cooking. Hot tub was certainly a favourite and well used! Nice to have plastic ‘glasses’ for use outside. Great selection of games was a nice surprise. Being able to walk the dog right from the doorstep made it so easy - we really enjoyed exploring the smallholding. Hosts were very quick to respond with answers and support. Yes, the Tesco delivery man did manage to find us and unload :-)

Very lovely place, me and my girlfriend stayed here for a weekend and had no complaints. The host responded quickly and the property looked exactly like the photos. All the extra little touches like the fire wood, slippers, eggs and etc really made us feel welcome. Overall we really enjoyed our stayed and would happily stay here again.

We spent the half term break at Little Burston with our two young children, we had a wonderful time. The accommodation was everything we hoped from the previous brilliant reviews and more. A clean, bright and large space. Well equipped with everything you could want (games, DVD’s, kitchen utensils). A tranquil and peaceful setting not far away from Dulverton and within striking distance of lots of activities. The hot tub kept the adults happy and the kids loved the garden, trampoline and games of football. Carol was a great host, instructions left at the property were clear and easy. Walking recommendations all great. Goats and chickens out of the kitchen window was a highlight for the kids. Up there with the best Airbnb’s we’ve been to in the UK. We would not hesitate to return, if visiting North Devon again and couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.

Wow! What an incredible stay. We are so happy with our stay. Everything in the property you’d need to have a relaxing home-like stay. The host recommended visiting Covelly which we loved. The hot tub was a great touch as well. Thank you x

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Honeysuckle Cottage. Spotlessly clean and bright. Very well equipped modern kitchen. Comfortable lounge and bedrooms and a sunny conservatory for dining in. Our host Helen welcomed us and a gorgeous cream tea awaited us, together with homemade scones, jam and bread. Milk, butter and eggs also provided. Such attention to detail. The garden is pretty and dog safe. Helen even provided dog bowls and towels and a treat! We would highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.

A brilliant stay in sues lodge. It’s so close to the beach! It was such an added extra to have a hot tub and the lodge was beautifully clean.

Such a beautiful little place, Sally provided everything you could need. She was so responsive and gave recommendations for restaurants and pubs. Made our stay so easy and a seamless check in/out. Thanks Sally!!

Would definitely stay here again. Lovely, peaceful surroundings. Hosts thought of everything, all the little thoughtful details made it so welcoming. You can tell that these hosts care. Thank-you.

Great place to stay. Lovely cottage, beautiful surroundings, not too far from villages & towns. Isobel was perfect host. Would highly recommend

Spent a lovely relaxing few days away in the cottage. The cottage had everything we needed and more and the welcome gifts were a lovely surprise. Lovely shower and such a quiet location. Tim was very responsive and helpful. It was a home from home 😁.

Ben's cottage was stunning — we loved every moment of our stay. If it were possible to give 6 out of 5 stars, I would have. The surrounding area was breathtaking, we enjoyed wandering through the fields and visited the vineyard, where we sampled some fantastic wine. There were also some excellent local pubs close by, all serving delicious food. Everything felt convenient, peaceful, and just perfect — there wasn’t a single thing we could fault. We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.

Perfect for my friend and i very comfortable & peaceful. We picked it for our short break because it was near to the places we wished to visit, RHS Rosemore, Instow & Appledore & the Burton Gallery at Bideford. So a very succeßful break all round. Would recomend

Great Croyde village location. Right opposite one of the three pubs in the village and 15 mins gentle walk to the beach. We stayed with our young baby, although Karen didn’t have a travel cot there was plenty of room in the spacious bedroom for ours. We loved the big TV which was great for evening movies. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, we especially loved the selection of mugs ( big sizes and lots of lovely hand thrown designs). At the back of the footage there is a l small space for boards and wetsuits. We felt instantly at home and even got chatting to our neighbours in The Thatch one evening.

This was the second time we stayed at this cottage as we had such a positive experience the first time. It is perfect for us as a couple with one small dog and the garden is completely secure. Would recommend parking on the Caen Street car park for peace of mind £6 all day and it is a short walk over the bridge to the cottage. The dog got an early walk to feed the meter at 9. Great location to all local beaches but Saunton best for all year round dog access. Lots of restaurants and pubs within walking distance so no worries about drinking and driving. Will be booking again for next year. Thanks Rich for good communication.

Excellent accommodation. Peaceful and beautiful surroundings. High standard of cleanliness and clutter-free, yet all facilities we needed. Would 100% stay here again. 20 mins walk to beach. Really great local pub/food.

We had a wonderful stay at Pilton Quay. Great communication from hosts Charlotte and Eoin before our stay so it was super easy to find and check-in. It was clean and spacious with everything provided that was described on the website. The cottage was close to the town yet it was on a fairly quiet road. We would definitely stay again and would recommend it to anyone. We are a family of 4 and it suited us perfectly. Thank you Charlotte and Eoin for a lovely stay 🙂

The cottage has a lot of charm and character. It was peaceful, with only slight occasional road noise when in the garden. The kitchen layout worked well and the Smeg Range was a joy to use. Bedrooms we a good size and the internal decoration and attention to detail was very good. Our first time in an Airbnb, so we found the £120 cleaning charge a little high, but we now understand this is common practice. We would definitely stay there again, as we greatly enjoyed the surrounding area and it's a pleasant and quite short walk into Barnstaple town centre.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Old Granary. The cottage was well equipped with appliances, spotlessly clean and well presented. We booked our stay here incredibly last minute, yet Dominic still responded within the hour. We will look to book here again in the future. Thank you for accommodating us.

Absolutely stunning location. Beautiful views. So peaceful. The accommodation is of an extremely high standard and has been decorated beautifully. Lots to do in the surrounding area. Would highly recommend.

Great stay ! Comfy beds and outdoor space amazing for the children!

This was our first air b&b We loved our stay at Claire’s pet-friendly annex, It was so nice to find a place that welcomed our dogs. The rural location perfect for morning walks. The setting was incredibly tranquil, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The annex was spotless, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I felt right at home and enjoyed every moment. The welcome goodies (scones, jam and clotted cream, milk, tea and coffee, even some treats for the dogs ) were a lovely touch and were thoroughly enjoyed. A real cozy home from home. Had everything we needed. It was a perfect base for us to visit the beach, friends and family. Highly recommended. We would definitely return. Thank you Claire and David

We had a second very comfortable stay.The nights were below freezing , but the cottage was warm and cosy from arrival. Highly recommend Prospect Cottage , it’s in a lovely village with the wonderful Bell inn a few steps away.

We had such a great stay. We thought the location was amazing - we loved visiting Croyde, Woolacombe and Saunton Sands and cycling on the Tarka Trail. The surroundings were incredible -lots of lambs and so peaceful. It was wonderful to be able to sit outside our cottage each evening and eat supper on the picnic bench with the most amazing view! Our children loved the facilities - the pool and hot tub were great and it was a bonus to have a tennis court, table tennis and pool table. Probably the best UK cottage holiday we've had in 18 years of travelling around. Sabrina and Richard were brilliant hosts - available and helpful with lots of local advise etc. Would love to come again and perhaps book the whole site for a group of friends!
