Devon Self Catering cottage, Whitefield Cottage, North Molton, sleeps 4

Highly Recommended!
Whitefield Cottage Review Highly reccomend this charming cottage and its friendly obliging hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and would definitely book it again if we return to North Devon. The cottage is located in a blissfully peaceful location reached along primrose-studded lanes. We stayed in April and it was just beautiful to awaken to the sound of birdsong and baby lambs. Located right on the edge of Exmoor we also found it an easy drive to coastal attractions eg 25 minutes to Heddon Valley, 35/40 mins to Braunton Burrows/ Saunton Sands. The cottage has lovely original features like the lime plaster, exposed beams and old inglenook fireplace complete with bakers oven on one side. The oil-fired log burner within, looked the part and kept the cottage nicely warm.Theres also a very effective storage heater in the kitchen and wall-mounted electric convector heaters upstairs. The cottage was tastefully furnished with comfy beds & sofa and beautiful antique dark wood chairs in the living room It is clean, cosy, comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped with everything you need ( but not rammed with endless useless clutter as we have found elsewhere) . It was great to have coat hooks and plenty of space for shoes in the porch plus a handy hose outside for muddy boots and dogs.We also really appreciated the OS maps and Bradt guidebook. The hedged garden( with handy clothes line) felt really private and we could find a sunny spot at any time of day. The morning sun falls on the porch so we enjoyed having breakfast there on the warmer mornings. Hosts - Madeleine & Jonathan- were extremely thoughtfull and accommodating . It was so nice to arrive to find a homemade cake and posey of fresh flowers from the garden They also left us a good supply of everything we needed ( including teabags, milk, sugar a fresh packet of ground coffee and even the oft- forgotten coffee filter papers) so we were,able to brew up and take full advantage of the cake straight away! Perfect place to stay!

perfect pet-friendly home from home!
A beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings, the welcoming afternoon tea tray was a lovely touch. This cottage is a true home from home, lacks for nothing. It was heaven coming back to a warm and cosy setting after a day exploring. Whitefield is also perfect for dogs! Ideally situated for exploring North Devon and Exmoor. We spent the week visiting some amazing places and beaches including Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay and Woolacombe. Clovelly is a must visit too (with the right foot wear!) For the cheese lovers another 'must' visit is to South Molton to a shop called the Cheese Larder. We were out everyday with so many places to see. Although October the weather was lovely! We wouldn't hesitate to visit again, hopefully in better times.

Wonderful stay
?We had a wonderful stay at Whitefield Cottage. The owners made us feel very welcome and had thought of everything to make the cottage feel like home. The cottage is located in a beautiful rural location within the north Devon countryside which we enjoyed exploring on foot. The cottage itself is beautiful, quirky and cosy. We were especially lucky with the weather and made full use of the lovely surrounding garden, eating outside on many days. Would 100% recommend and will hopefully visit again in the future.

Perfect hideaway!
Whitefield cottage is ideal for exploring Exmoor. The Tarka trail is on the doorstep, so lovely walks and views a few steps away. The cottage itself is very cosy and warm, well equipped and very dog friendly. The owners even supplied dog beds and treats.The cottage has a large garden, all enclosed. We will definitely return.
