This property has been renovated to a high standard and has everything you need for a fabulous stay plus it was VERY clean.The bedding is gorgeous crisp egyptian cotton and the topper on the mattress sooo comfortable. En suite shower perfect.Fortunately we had fabulous weather so ate in the garden or the kitchen. Never used the second bedroom or the sitting room. Location was excellent for Saunton (very dog friendly) and we hired a beach hut for the days we were there so we didn't have to carry everything down. Also good for Croyde (not dog friendly) although food at The Thatch was great. Will definitely stay here again if we can get in. 5\* all round ##### Jenny C.
