Just returned from a wonderful week staying at the Tythe Barn at the Old Rectory Cottages. Such a gem in the beautiful North Devon countryside, the accommodation is superb, and the grounds and facilities are great for families with a very warm pool for the kids and plenty to do on site. The owners went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and made us feel very welcome. We have already booked to go back! Excellent for young families and I would highly recommend to anyone.
