Summary: We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage. Everything you could want is provided and there is an amazing welcome basket too. Our host met us on arrival and provided loads of helpful advice so we could find our way around everything in the cottage easily. There were some good places to eat nearby and plenty of walks. Would definitely love to return.

Summary: We enjoyed staying at Ford Hill Cottage previously so we rebooked this year! The cottage was as good, if not better, than we remembered! It is beautifully decorated, equipped and maintained. It has a lovely ambience with everything you might need and more, including a supply of wood for the open fire, a well equipped games room, local maps, board games, a very generous welcome basket and the bonus of a front patio and back garden with seating. The beds are comfy with crisp white linen. The en-suite shower was good and we appreciated toiletries being provided. The kitchen is very well equipped with plenty of utensils, crockery and pans. A generous supply of consumables including dishwasher tablets, tea bags, cling film and toilet rolls were provided which was appreciated.(Small things I know but some places don't provide any of these!) We found the cottage to be toasty warm. As mentioned on the website, the steep stairs may not be suitable for young children or those with mobility issues but we had no issues with them. The cottage is light and airy too. We were blessed with exceptionally good weather and the cottage was an ideal base for visiting Woolacombe, Lynton & Lynmouth, Arlington Court as well as RHS Rosemoor. We would not hesitate to recommend Ford Hill Cottage. Thanks for a great stay!

Summary: Stayed for two weeks in August. The mids aged 8 and 12 love the cottage. Different rooms to hide and play in. A short drive to Woolacombe beach, and Exmoor Zoo and a bit further to The Milky Way Adventure Park and The Big Sheep, both of which the kids loved. Back at the cottage we had a couple of barbecues and the kitchen was even easy enough for Daddy to navigate and cook! 20 minutes to Barnstaple if you need to get supplies in. Bedrooms were great. Beds nice and comfy. They came and changed bedding and towels for fresh after week one. It’s in the countryside and you can see sheep wondering in the fields from your bedroom window. I like the ‘quiet’ of the countryside so very much enjoyed it….

Summary: Ford Hill Cottage was perfect for our group, garden and games room a wonderful bonus. Lovely welcome from Janet was very much appreciated. Pristine inside, very comfortable. Parking a little awkward with a larger vehicle.

Summary: A last minute decision to go away for half term led us to Ford Hill Cottage and it was wonderful. On arrival we were met by Adam who showed us around the property and presented us with the most generous of welcome hampers. Adam and Janet were always available but never ‘got in the way’ - perfect hosts. The cottage is far more spacious than the pictures suggest and is furnished to a high standard and we particularly liked the extremely comfortable beds. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need but with a fantastic range of pubs and restaurants within a 20 minute drive you may find that you do not end up cooking too often! Of an evening it was lovely to come back to the log burner in the lounge. The games room is a BIG bonus, it is huge and well furnished, many a game of pool and table tennis was enjoyed. Importantly it was well heated - we have been to a number of rentals where the games room had been in a converted garage and as a result they have been very cold/damp - that is not the case here with numerous radiators to keep the games room nice and toasty. In summary a lovely property that we will happily return to in the future.

Summary: We had another relaxing and comfortable stay at Ford Hill Cottage. The weather in March was wet and cold so we were very glad to have the games room with it's pool table and football table. The wood burner was toasty and we enjoyed relaxing around it on the comfy lounge furniture. It was good to have an en-suite and another bathroom. The cottage is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and has all the things and more you need for a self catering break. The owners provide a very generous welcome pack along with coffee pods etc. We would highly recommend the cottage.

Summary: The cottage was truly amazing, so well equipped and retaining a number of period features. Everything had been carefully thought out and was so easy to use. You felt "at home" the moment you walked through the door and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The adjacent games room was superb, with pool table, table football, table tennis and a media/entertainment setup too! The piano in the corner was a nice touch and we made full use of most of the equipment, especially the pool table. Oh., don't forget the mini fridge for keeping the beers/cider cool, nice touch! You will not be disappointed, as everything was top quality, we wish we had booked a longer stay! The owner (Janet) was really nice to talk with and was very keen to check everything was acceptable and met our expectations-which it most certainly did in every way. The welcome basket of treats and the bottle of bubbly and the bottle of wine was very much appreciated. We can't wait to return-Thank you for making our holiday so nice!
