"This delightful cottage has everything you could need for a comfortable stay."
Susan and Mark are wonderful hosts and the welcoming cream tea delicious. It is perfectly situated to visit many nearby places to visit. We highly recommend the cottage.
-
"Absolutely lovely and quaint cottage, all the amenities you need to have a comfortable stay."
Hosts Mark & Sue on hand if we needed them. Loved the fact it was on a working farm but the land around the cottage was safe for the kids to run around and look at some of the animals. Perfect base to explore the towns around North Devon which we did daily. Hope to be back one day

"We had a wonderful stay at Mary’s Cottage."
A beautiful and peaceful setting on the farm. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming and it was a lovely treat that our host made delicious home made scones with cream tea for when we arrived. The cottage is so cosy and comfortable, with an extremely well equipped kitchen. There were lots of board games which we really enjoyed playing as a family. The cottage is in a great location for the beach at coombe martin, watermouth castle and other family attractions. Also lots of local eateries and country pubs with great food.

"Lovely little cottage, owners who live next door are friendly but not intrusive, Many good reviews in the visitor book."
Having spent a week there can understand why. Beds a little soft for our liking but thats a personal preference. Would be happy to stay there again.

"Very happy thank you"

"Stunning location & beautiful cottage."
Comfortable & has everything you need. Loved every minute.

"A truly lovely and comfortable cottage in the centre of the farm with great facilities and equipment."
Very helpful and pleasant owners. Highly recommended if you like a working farm environment. Only negative would be the general instructions from the email to identify the farm. To state it is between two areas if you are not local is confusing especially in conjunction with ‘look for the cider farm sign’ when you are not aware it is the cider farm. It’s easy when you know but not after a long journey.

"Lovely place and so peaceful!"
Our hosts, Sue and Mark, were very welcoming and friendly, and suggested some great places to visit locally. We were greeted with a lovely home made cream tea, and were able to take advantage of the cider produced on the farm too, which is delicious! A little out of the way so we needed to use the car every day, but worth it for the peace and quiet. Highly recommended.
-
"A comfortable, welcoming cottage."
The garden space is a relaxing joy. It's a lovely place to unwind and "get away" from the world whilst being close to coastal and inland attractions and walks. Our hosts were helpful and welcoming whilst not being intrusive. This was our second stay and every bit as enjoyable as the first. Bridget

"This charming, farmhouse cottage, ideally suited for exploring N."
Devon, offers a genuine taste of rural life. Reached down a long, private track, it is very peaceful, as it is sited well away from noisy traffic. Children will love seeing all the farm animals and playing on the lawn, as the ducks contentedly wander by. The cottage is spotlessly clean and the owners are generous and friendly.

"Mary’s Cottage was very quaint."
A bit too 1950s for us though. We found the access difficult through a farm but we were welcomed with scones jam cream eggs and milk which was a lovely touch. Owners very friendly and helpful. The cottage was well located for the various places we wanted to go to.

"This comfortable and well-appointed farm cottage has a lovely atmosphere and is set in a tranquil location with the added benefit of a relaxing garden."
The owners Sue and Mark and their family were welcoming and attentive: the eggs, scones, jam and cream were a really nice touch! The seaside towns and coastal paths are only a short distance away from this rural retreat and we hope very much to stay here again!

"Marys Cottage is really lovely."
I loved every minute of my stay there, it had everything I needed and was very comfortable and cosy, and the kitchen was very well equipped. On my arrival there was a homemade loaf , scones, jam and clotted cream on the table with fresh flowers dotted about , perfect start to my holiday. Lockdown was announced during my stay but Sykes website was informative and I found out that I was able to finish my holiday and not have to cut it short. Obviously lots of places closed but that didnt bother me as I went away to chill. I found some beaches that I could still walk on and there were takeaway places for a coffee or pasty and the supermarkets were open to buy provisions ! All in all a perfect break during strange times . Thank you Sue and Mark the hosts for allowing me to stay in their lovely cottage. Very sad to leave .

"Mary’s cottage is absolutely beautiful."
Well equipped and wanting for nothing at all. Sue made us so welcome from the minute we arrived. Fresh farm eggs, scones with clotted cream and jam, a loaf of home made bread and a pint of milk in the fridge. We will definitely be staying there again. A delight and a pleasure. Pete & Mo

"The holiday cottage was beautiful and the food and drink bought from the farm was outstanding, fantastic location, fantastic couple who own the."
farm and cottage, began to miss the place even as we drove up the farm leaving on our last day, simply fantastic
-
"We felt that Mark, Sue and Chris the owners of Marys cottage exceeded our expectations."
There warmth and passion in all they do on the farm is magnificent . The love and care to all the animals is heart warming. The engagement they gave us was wonderful. We have a special needs daughter Sue and Mark gave her opportunities to experience farm life close up. This is a farm with a big heart. Sykes asked me to vote for then as a good provider which they are, I feel that Sykes should offer a reward to good cottage owners as this one would have the Mason vote. Thank you Mark and Sue for a terrific week.

"Mary's cottage felt like a real home from home from the moment we walked across the threshold."
The cottage was roomy and comfortable. Susan and Mark are great hosts and it is easy to see why they have so many returning visitors. Should we ever go back to North Devon we would definitely stay with them again.

Upon entering, you will be welcomed by a country-style kitchen, housing necessary essentials and a dining table where everyone can gather together in the evening.
For more quality time, the characterful sitting room hosts a sofa and arm chairs, along with a woodburner and inglenook fireplace, so you can relax amongst the warm ambience with your loved ones.

Resting on an award-winning working farm, and close to a wealth of attractions, there is much to see around the area, from National Trust's Arlington Court, the resorts of Ilfracombe, to Lynton and Lynmouth.
A little further afield is the ancient town of Barnstaple, with its Doomsday associations and here you can find a good selection of shops, restaurants and a museum.
Or, if you simply prefer to watch the world go by then visit the quiet harbours and picturesque ports or enjoy a leisurely cream tea at a traditional Country Inn before returning to Mary`s Cottage for a well-earned rest.
A memorable retreat not to be missed.
