Strawfields. Stunning cottage in amazing location close to the sea + Games Barn.

The Stables is a stunning recent conversion of old stables with its own enclosed cottage garden and private parking. It is one of three cottages at Strawfields, which has the best of both worlds, a small holding of 8 acres in a lovely rural location, yet it is just a short drive to the beaches.

A hidden gem.

We spent a week in 'The Stables', a lovely cottage, very well equipped, cosy and warm, a good thing if you're booking in Autumn/Winter. The cottage is tucked away in the countryside but within easy reach of Ilfracombe and central for visiting many other places. The host, Alex, was friendly & helpful & communication over booking and access was excellent. I would highly recommend this cottage and will certainly be visiting again.
