A spacious and central house with good facilities

The house had lots of space and was light and bright. The kitchen area was nice and well equipped, there was a lovely bathroom with a great shower, and a very nice upstairs sitting room. Good wifi throughout too. It was also in a great location - close to the centre but shielded from traffic noise. With a more comfortable bed and a bit more invested in some nice pillows and bedding this would have been a great holiday rental. No tea towel provided and the most miniscule amount of washing up liquid. There was a filthy table runner on the kitchen table that gave a poor first impression, plus a broken blind in the sitting room. But the main issue for me was the uncomfortable sleeping set up. I know this is personal taste but from my point of view the beds and bedding really let the place down.

Potential to be great…..but…..

To start with the positives, the location is great, tucked away in a quiet courtyard but close to town and local amenities. Ideal base location for exploring the lakes. The cottage is clean and tidy with a lovely kitchen and bathroom. Set over 3 floors with the lounge on the top floor which is spacious. Parking was never a problem and with use of the pass we always managed to park on the road outside. Unfortunately the deal breaker was the bed and because of this we wouldn't book again unless this was rectified. After a day hiking the fells you want a comfy bed and unfortunately this is one of the most uncomfortable beds I have slept on. The frame moves, squeaks and doesn’t feel sturdy and the mattress dips and gave me back ache ️ Such a shame as the rest of the cottage was great. Another minor suggestion for improvement would be to provide a microwave.

Super location

It was a great holiday home with plenty of space for three adults. It was well located for trips to the Lake District and also to Yorkshire. If you are good at parking, there is always a parking space along the road, although not right outside the front door. The kitchen/living room is cosy and spacious and the electric radiators made it easy to heat quickly and as customised There is an airfryer, which we did not use, and an Aeropress coffee machine, which makes good coffee. The larger fridge with freezer compartment was also great. The design of the rooms is appealing and tasteful. We definitely felt very comfortable and would choose this accommodation again. Nevertheless, there were things that didn't quite match the high standard of the house. In both toilet rooms the soap containers were empty, the hoover was so clogged with carpet fluff that it did not vacuum. The heavily soiled forecourt by the front door, the frayed kitchen towel and the stained table runner did not make a good impression. There is neither a socket for the hairdryer nor for the shaver in the bathroom. But we think all this could easily be fixed and then everything would be great! The safety box for the house key was a well-functioning, secure place unfortunately the key jammed, especially from the inside. The key problem also exists for the downstairs toilet. Suggestions for improvement: The forecourt in front of the front door should be swept every now and then. As we found it, the first impression was not very inviting. The table runner was freshly washed but had red wine stains. The houseplants were dried out. The soap dispensers in the house were empty throughout. There was only one frayed tea towel. The box of dishwasher salt was soaked in a plastic box with water, as were the few remaining dishwasher tabs. The coating on the pans was damaged. There was no salad bowl. Unfortunately, there was no broom and the hoover was totally blocked and didn't really work. A mirror in the guest toilet would have been great. We think at least one or two things could be improved with little effort and would be more in keeping with the status of the house. The communication with the agency could also be better. We received no reply to our email during our stay.

Courtyard Cottage is excellently situated for exploring the coastline to the north and west of Barns

Courtyard Cottage is excellently situated for exploring the coastline to the north and west of Barnstaple (top surfing spots and the SWC path are 30 minutes away) as well as visiting RHS Rosemore (30 minutes to the south) and Exmoor. With fine views, lovely surrounding countryside, and peace and quiet it is a perfect retreat from the coastal hotspots. The cottage's lower courtyard patio gives excellent privacy with natural shade from the surrounding trees. Being near the top of a hill there was also a pleasant breeze during a mini heatwave. Evening sundowners on the top patio were an added bonus. Mika and Mark, the owners, were attentive without being obtrusive. They were friendly and informative about the local area. The interior of the cottage is beautiful and extremely well insulated from both cold and hot weather. The standard of facilities and comfort of the beds is superb. The ability to rinse and dry wetsuits in the courtyard, and a garage to store gear is very useful. The outside spaces are beautifully maintained. Very highly recommended.

Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings

We stayed for a week in this lovely cottage. The kitchen was amazing and had everything you could possibly need. It was light and airy and spotlessly clean. It was very centrally placed for visiting all North Devon has to offer without travelling too far. The owners live next door and were very welcoming, kind and helpful, especially with suggestions of places to visit and eat. We would love to stay again one day.

I would definitely stay here again, we absolutely loved our holiday here and didn't want to leave. Beautifully arranged and decorated cottage in a great location. Breakfast every morning on the terrace outside the main bedroom enjoying the early morning sun, and drinks and dinner on the terrace to the side of the cottage watching the sun go down. Perfect! Thank you to Mika and Mark for being so welcoming, friendly and helpful and for creating such a wonderful place to stay

Truly superb! Modern, comfortable and a home from home. Mark & Mika we’re excellent and always attentive making the stay perfect. The location itself has tremendous views and is very central to Barnstaple. 15 -20 minutes from most family beachesdays out. Especially ideal as you are able to easily reach in all directions for days out. Very strongly recommend if you’re looking to have the ideal location and a lovely, relaxing place to stay.

Courtyard Cottage Barnstaple

We spent a week at the Courtyard Cottage, we were very impressed at the very high standard of accommodation. Well situated above the town of Barnstaple with stunning views of the North Devon Countryside, it was within easy reach of the coastal resorts (15-20 minutes by car) Mika and Mark were both welcoming and very helpful, full of information about North Devon, they were always on hand but never intrusive. This is a little Gem situated in North Devon and we will definitely be back,

Lovely cottage

We've just got back from another wonderful week at Courtyard Cottage. The location is great, it really feels like you are in the countryside, but the town is 5 mins away. We spent several days at the sandy beaches (only 20 min car journey) that are perfect for body boarding and surfing, enjoyed sea kayaking and loved the coastal walks and views. The cottage has everything you need and to a high spec, making it feel luxurious. The owners are attentive, the welcome pack was delicious, and our children loved seeing their dogs and eating Smores by the firepit one evening. Overall a fantastic stay, we'd definitely go back again, there's still more to explore!

Fantastic week in stunning cottage

We stayed in Courtyard Cottage in August 2021. The cottage is beautifully appointed and everything you need has been thought of. The rooms are generous sizes and the cottage feels spacious and modern - whilst at the same time feeling full of character and interesting features. The location is perfect for local interest - with lots of different beaches nearby plus the beautiful landscape of Exmoor. We were able to do very different things each day and kept teenagers and adults thoroughly entertained. We hope to return again - and Mark and Mika were fantastic hosts offering help and advice if needed.

Great for relaxing holidays, very hospitable owners

Recently renovated cottage with great attention to detail that lacks nothing. Everything is very modern, but comfortably furnished. Very quiet location (approach, however, is in quite poor condition with many potholes), perfectly situated for trips into the North Devon area. Several seating areas outside, which invite you to relax (with a little luck with a view of sheep). The couple who rents the house is very hospitable, we have rarely been received warmer than by the two. Mark always has good excursion tips ready. After our two weeks stay it was really hard for us to have to leave again.

Beautifully equipped cottage in peaceful location.

Probably the best of all the cottages we have stayed in - beautifully decorated, equipped with everything that you could want, spotlessly clean and with owners that are around if you need them but invisible when you want privacy. The location is the ultimate in peaceful places, set at the end of a long private drive surrounded by fields and trees. No traffic noise just the bird songs to disturb the peace and yet you can be in the centre of Barnstable within 10 minutes by car. The cottage comes with the best sun-trap patio anywhere - just the place to sit with a long cool drink and soak up the sun and the peace and quiet. It's the sort of place that once discovered entices you back again and again.

Our needs for this property wasn't for a holiday unfortunately, however mika and Mark were extremely kind helpful and very accommodating for our situation. The views from the property are great and there are multiple areas for seating to have a drink and something to eat. The accommodation is only a short drive from various towns and seasides. The property is highly recommended its comfortable warm and very well equipped the underfloor heating is great and the log fire a bonus. I'll be back again for a visit under different circumstances without a doubt. Thankyou mika and Mark.

Beautiful Cottage and Location

We stayed for one week in May 2022 and we could not have wished for more. The owners, Mika and Mark were on site to meet us and show us around and they made us feel very welcome. They recommended great places to visit in the area and we went to most of them. The accommodation was lovely with a large double bedroom opening onto a private patio area and a separate room with two single beds. Everythings was clean and tidy. The cottage is up a fairly steep single track lane but not for long then you reach your destination which is just outside Barnstaple. The surrounding gardens are lovely and there are views over Barnstaple to the estuary. We recommend this lovely cottage without hesitation and hope to return soon.
