Mrs Benslay August 2021

“Cottage lovely and comfortable however for us it’s too rural there’s nothing close by you need a car more of a walking holiday this should be mentioned in advertisement.”

“The pictures do not do it justice.”

The garden and river exceeded our expectations. Delightful cottage for a relaxing walking holiday.

“Very peaceful cottage in beautiful setting.”

Garden was delightful and bigger than we expected. Cottage was a nice mixture of old and new. Kitchen was very well equipped and bathroom was great. Good to find a place with no extra charge for our dog. There was a tea tray on arrival with portions of UHT milk but a pint of fresh milk would have been helpful, especially as there are no shops nearby. More comprehensive information on the local area would also have been useful. It wasn't a problem for us but the listing needs to be clearer that there are a significant number of steps up from the parking to the back door. It was also a tight squeeze in and out of the steep drive even though our car isn't the biggest.

- Mr Maddox, July 2021

Thank you for completing your feedback which we have spoken with the owner about. We have now added a sentence to the description to make future guests aware of the 9 steps from the parking bay to the property. Property Owner

“We had a nice quiet holiday.”

I am elderly and found the steps up to the property needed some assistance . The garden and the cottage were very nice clean and well furnished. The bathroom is flanked by a very nice large bath to soak in. For tranquility and peace an absolutely wonderful spot with its own babbling river.

The property

Primrose Cottage, set on the banks of the river Yeo in the small village of Loxhore is a pretty, detached stone built cottage.

The utterly charming natural garden slopes gently down to the river where a bench has been placed for sitting and listening to the bees and birds.

Immediately outside, a small patio (table/chairs) with a more elevated view is the perfect spot for morning coffee.

Split level, enter into a newly fitted kitchen, leading to a useful utility room.

At the rear of the cottage is a neat king-size double bedroom with a smart bathroom room where you'll find a freestanding bath, shower, loo and basin.

From the kitchen, three steps up to living/dining room with high beamed ceiling open to the apex, woodburning stove, TV/DVD.

A gently inclining 3 mile stroll through woodland, where deer are often seen, brings you to Arlington Court.

Here you can explore the great house or meander through the acres of parkland.

Nearby Exmoor offers a wealth of opportunities for walkers, cyclists and wildlife lovers.

You're close to the coast too - around 30 minutes drive away you'll find some of the regions most popular beaches at Croyde and Saunton.

Primrose Cottage is a lovely cottage in an idyllic spot.

Loxhore: small ancient village (church) alongside the meandering river Yeo on the edge of the Arlington Court estate (National Trust) on the western edge of Exmoor.

Good country walks.

Markets, shops, cinema at Barnstaple, 6 miles; superb golf and fine beaches at Saunton, 8 miles, and Woolacombe, 10 miles.

About the location

LOXHORE

Barnstaple 5 miles

A delightfully rural village, nestling amid lush green fields and wooded valleys on the edge of Exmoor. Famous for its country walks, birdlife and natural beauty, the area is perfect for the visitor seeking peace and quiet, but not isolation. Exmoor, with its rolling hills, red deer and stunning scenery, is the major attraction, with the rugged North Devon coast and its resort towns, sandy beaches, excellent surf and the SW Coast path coming a close second. There is much to do and see; the area boasts stately homes and gardens, theme parks for the kids, beautiful fishing villages, the shopping centres of Barnstaple and Bideford and, most importantly, mile upon mile of unspoilt countryside, from high moorland hills to rolling farmland, to the beautiful banks of the rivers Taw and Torridge. The countryside at its best.
