Very comfortable and thoughtfully equipped accommodation. Highlights were the amazing views, hot tub, starry nights, hares, buzzards and bats.
About 15 minutes to two nearest pubs, both serving good food. Great place to relax, and to explore North Devon.

A windy week in a warm cottage
Nice cottage down a long narrow country lane.
Very warm with underfloor heating
Kitchen very small with modest fridge, we made the mistake of doing a Tesco shop prior to arriving.
Pubs a 4 mile drive.

Couldn't be faulted
What can I say? Located in a haven of peace and tranquility. The Hen House is extremely private with fantastic views from the raised decking. So relaxing when using the hot tub at the end of the day.
It is furnished to a high standard and the owners have done their best to anticipate their guests' needs. The biscuits and prosecco they left for us was a nice touch.
In terms of location, it is a handy base, being within about 30 minutes of most of the North Devon places of interest
As you'd expect, being based in a rural area, you need to navigate single lane country roads to get there but this is not a problem (even when you meet 3 farm vehicles in convoy coming the other way!!)
Go ahead - book it - you won't regret it

Comfy and warm with an amazing view
Warm and comfy. The view from the deck was amazing. Everything was clean and in good working order. Personally I didn’t like the pillows - hard and a bit lumpy but I appreciate that is a personal opinion. My only real problem is that there are no windows that can open- there’s patio doors but in wet and windy weather we could not leave these open during the night and there were no other opening windows. Made for a stuffy night!

Summer break
This was our second visit and it was as good as ever. Shaun and Kathy are very helpful and Kathy makes beautiful scones, plus the addition of some lovely wine.
The hen house is so lovely, with fabulous views to look out into, plus the lovely hot tub.
We will be returning sometime
Upon arrival and met by Shawn the co-owner of Accot Manor, it was obvious we were in for a lovely restful stay over looked by incredible surroundings. Shawn made us feel most welcome o arrival and talking with his wife Kathy, at the end of our stay, it was true to say they have created something really special with their 3 amazing accomadations surrounding their own piece of tranquility.
