Temperance Cottage Reviews

Jenny
Waste and recycling days are early in the week and this is stored close to the back of the house due to the house design. This means waste from previous tenants could be still at the property when you arrive.
Simon
Very pleased with the accommodation. Six adults and two dogs , it had everything we needed. Washing Machine and Drier were very welcome (due to the heavy rain). Highly recommended and would definitely stay here again.
Denis
Really enjoyed our stay in this cosy and comfortable cottage. A lovely warm welcome from the owners who were friendly and helpful.
Carol
Beautiful cottage in a lovely village.
Kay
Clean and tidy. Owners was very nice and checked if we were ok and if we were happy with everything. Shame it doesnâ??t have parking and the living isnâ??t big enough for 8 people
Tracey
Very cosy cottage with amenities close by ,parking can be a problem .
Gareth
Overall it was nice and in a great spot.
Jo
Great cottage & great location. 3 bathrooms which is needed for 8 people. Ideal for exploring North Devon. Only downside is that there isnâ??t really any parking nearby, though it is only a 10 min walk to the public car parks where itâ??s £6 per day to park.
Kerry
Whilst the Cottage is in a very good location being walking distance to all that Braunton has to offer, and a good size, the parking situation really does need to be made clear. You cannot pull up outside to do a quick luggage drop, parking is a lottery and in the summer I feel would be a real challenge ( we stayed end of Jan and could generally park a few mins walk away). The decor and fixtures are a little tired / and could do with a refresh, however the facilities were good. The 2nd set-up of stairs to the en-suite are not for the faint hearted!!!
Alison
Great house and location. We loved our stay.
Maggie
The Cottage fitted the brief very well; a family gathering for a wedding at Ash Barton. So we ranged from fourteen months old to grandparents and we all fitted in well and slept well! It was a home from home and didnâ??t feel cramped at all. I was worried about the stairs for the little ones but they just werenâ??t a problem. The appliances were all in good condition and worked well so that helped to make it a relaxing stay. We used Braunton Taxi for runs to and from the wedding which was over three days and again this worked well. We can also recommend the circular walk from Braunton Burrows car park to Saunton Sands and back along the Tarka Trail. Lunch at the Beachside Grill was a highlight of the walk and repeated several times!
Mary
A cosy cottage with everything you'd need - I can imagine that it would be a great place to stay in any season. The sun deck is particularly sunny late afternoon for tea or drinks so we enjoyed that enormously. It also has 3 bathrooms which was very helpful to our group. The walk into the village for shops and restaurants quick and easy as is access to the coast path. Parking was not a problem. The owner very kindly found and sent back to me some earrings i'd left behind.
