"Great cottage in a good location to explore this part of Devon."
The cottage has fabulous facilities and is as good as every description would suggest. There is nothing to find fault with. Although parking out side the property is only occasionally possible, using Windmill Lane car park is not an issue 2-3 mins walk and just £2 per 24 hour period. It is possible to park close by to drop off and load up. The cottage was really comfortable and the welcome pack was greatly appreciated. There is also an Amazon Fire tv stick which allows access to multiple channels should you wish to use the TV. Wi-Fi is also very good. We look forward to making a return visit in the near future.

"Really loved this holiday cottage."
Great location for exploring North Devon. Lovely village with great walks on Northam burrows, Appledore and Westwood Ho! Cottage was comfy and well equipped. Beds very comfy. Had a great night's sleep. Nice spacious kitchen and cosy living room. Bathroom had a good shower. Nice private courtyard area with table and chairs to sit out. Treats and bowl for the dog and milk, shortbread and prosecco for us. Coffee machine was a nice addition. Great WiFi too. Felt very welcome and would definitely recommend and stay here again.
So pleased you had a nice time and enjoyed the extra touches. The fact that you would recommend and stay again says a lot. Thank you for great feedback. Property Owner

"The property is in a narrow street with limited parking space, we recommend using the Windmill Hill car park just a short walk away and at only £2 per day or pay in advance for the number of days required The Cottage is well laid out and the courtyard is sunny most of the day."
The owner provided some nice extras for our arrival.(wine, biscuits,tea, coffee,sugar & milk) Location is excellent for both Appledore & Bideford, both just a short drive away. The surrounding countryside has plenty to offer, We visited RHS Rosemoor Gardens, Arlington House, Instow and Clovelly all within a reasonable drive away. TV reception ok on BBC1 & 2. Freeview not good. Wifi is good so bring a tablet as an alternative . We enjoyed our trip and would return Curli Cottage if visiting again.

"Just got back from Curli cottage."
Its a beautiful place. Very homely, comfortable and had everything we needed. A lovely little courtyard garden which was perfect for breakfast, dinner with a glass of wine in the evening. The low door's and steep stairs only added to it's quaintness as it is a traditional old cottage. Would definitely recommend.
So pleased that you were able to appreciate the quaintness of this lovely little cottage. We want you to feel at home while on your holiday and have a positive experience. Thank you for being great guests. Property Owner

The property
Tucked away in the idyllic village of Northam, just a short distance from Westward Ho!, is this character, mid-terrace abode, CurLi Cottage.
Packed with character and charm, CurLi Cottage is a great base for a family or couple looking to stay in the centre of Northam and access the delights of Westward Ho!, Appledore and Bideford.
Step through the front door into the lounge, where you can put your feet up beside the woodburner and discuss the plan of action for your time away.
Move into the kitchen/diner, where you can conjure up a feast using the electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge, before settling at the dining table to enjoy your cooking.
Take the evening to the south-west facing courtyard garden, perfect for enjoying your favourite tipple as the sun sets.
Move to the first floor to catch your rest, offering a king-size and a single bed, each neutrally presented and offering sea glimpses towards Saunton Sands.
Around the corner lies The Golden Lion, where you can enjoy a refreshing pint and game of pool, whilst a little further along is a convenience store and a fish and chip shop for when you fancy something quick.
Head to Westward Ho! Beach, a lovely stretch of sand where you can try your hand at a variety of watersports, paddle the shores or sunbathe during the warmer months, before stopping off at the Morans Thai Restaurant for a delicious dinner.
A similar distance away is Appledore, home to more restaurants, pubs and shops and a little fishing boat ferry that heads across to Instow beach.
Don’t forget to visit the amenities of Bideford, including the Art Gallery and Museum and the Railway Heritage Centre, so there really is plenty to do nearby!
For a gorgeous break to a bustling region of Devon, look no further than CurLi Cottage.
