What guests are saying
Beautiful house with stunning views from the garden.
House had everything we needed and was an excellent location to explore North Devon and Cornwall. Would highly recommend.
A wonderful place to stay.
Very well equipped comfortable beds amazing views. So relaxing. Thank you for a memorable visit.
My family and I stayed at South Honeycroft Thatch for a week in June and I can honestly say that the cottage is stunning and the location was perfect for a peaceful holiday and spending quality time with the family.
The views from the back garden were amazing, as was the garden itself. The kitchen boasted every little thing you could possibly want for a self catering holiday and we made full use of the air fryers and BBq'd twice using the Charbroil BBQ. ( My husband wants one of those now) We would have used it more but sadly the weather wasn't kind to us but that made the games room a huge bonus. I would definitely recommend this cottage and have since passed the details over to friends who are interested in booking it. The only nit picky thing were biscuit wrappers found behind bedroom cabinets when plugging in our phone chargers and sweet wrappers down the sides of the sofa cushions when we plumped them up, but apart from that and a bit of a scare from the 'thatcher' turning up outside the conservatory one morning, we had a really wonderful time. Thank you Pam & Peter for making sure we were okay and for the lovely biscuits and wine left for us on arrival, a lovely welcoming touch.
