Summary: Nestled in a peaceful spot just outside Barnstaple, the cottage combines the charm of the countryside with easy access to stunning beaches, coastal villages and the rolling landscapes of North Devon. The cottage itself is finished to an exceptionally high standard - spacious, beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you could possibly need. It's clear that Mika and Mark have put a great deal of thought into every detail. The welcome pack was such a thoughtful touch too - freshly baked scones, clotted cream, local jam, Devon cider, ginger beer, fudge and more. It was such a lovely way to begin our stay and really set the tone for the week. We felt truly spoilt and looked after! Mika and Mark were fantastic hosts - warm, helpful and always on hand if needed. They went above and beyond to make our stay special, kindly lending us their body boards for beach days and even taking our daughters blackberry picking, which they absolutely loved. It was those thoughtful, personal touches that also made the experience stand out. We came for a relaxing countryside and coastal escape, and Courtyard Cottage delivered on every front. We’re already planning our return!
