Cottages on the Coast - Bideford

Unfortunately on the first day of our holiday at Seascape, I had to be admitted to the local hospital with acute back pain. This culminated in the termination of our holiday and having to be transported back to our home area 3 days later, together with wife, labrador, and all our luggage. Throughout this very difficult period, we received excellent support from Oliver MacCarron (owner of Cottages on The Coast) and Samantha (Housekeeper).
The enormous help from these two individuals was critical in trying to handle a very difficult situation and a reflection of the critical support provided by the company.

Ship Ahoy is a spacious, comfortable flat in the heart of picturesque Appledore, less than a minute’s walk from the quayside. Clean and beautifully presented, with a well equipped kitchen and lovely courtyard garden, this was a perfect base for exploring North Devon. Great communication, and plenty of local information provided. A lovely stay – thank you!

Stayed at Ridgeview House in August 2024. Very easy booking process and Oliver was very helpful with any questions, and particularly proactive about amenities for the dogs when he saw i was bringing two.

The property is perfect for Westward Ho! - literally on the doorstep of the beach / town area and backs onto the nature reserve. Walking into town was less than 5 minutes although other than the Thai restaurant Morans (excellent food!) we tended to stay local at the Pig & Olive pizza place which is fantastic

Nice and modern, with excellent kitchen and living area. Beds were comfortable and house was clean.

Garden space was low maintenance but perfectly fine and safe for the dogs. It was a real sun trap in the evening too.

Would definitely book through this company again

We spent 9 nights at “The Old Bakery” in Braunton , located on the North Devon coast.

Extremely dog friendly for our miniature dachshund, the garden area was safe for her and inside there were an abundance of dog beds for her to choose from.

The properly has everything you can possibly need for a winter or summer holiday!

The beds were extremely comfortable and spacious, the lounge area was perfect for a cosy night in with the wood burner.

The location is great as you can easily walk to shops and restaurants due to its central location.

I can not fault Cottages On the Coast at all ! We will be back / thank you Alice and Oliver.

Happy Days Bungalow in Braunton is absolutely wonderful. It is freshly decorated and of a high standard, my family loved it. My two boys especially loved the surf lessons near by on Saunton beach! It was also very useful that the bungalow was only a short walk to the shops, pubs and restaurants too! The garden is calm and quiet with a tropical feel. The beds were so comfy and the living space very homely. We will definitely be returning! Just a brilliant stay. Thanks! The Smith family

We recently spent a week at The Old Bakery in Braunton with our two Spaniels and had a wonderful time. The cottage is beautifully located in a quiet street, just a short walk from the village centre. It is also within easy driving distance of some of the most beautiful beaches in North Devon, including Saunton Sands and Croyde Bay, with Exmoor just a short hop away too if you fancy something different.

The cottage itself is absolutely charming. It has been lovingly renovated and features a mix of original features and modern amenities. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the living room is cosy and inviting. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and the bathroom is modern and clean.

We especially loved the enclosed garden. It was the perfect place for our dogs to run around and play, and it was also a great spot for us to relax and enjoy the sunshine.

Cottages on the Coast were very welcoming and accommodating. They ensured that we had everything we needed during our stay, and they were always happy to answer any questions.

Overall, we had a wonderful time at The Old Bakery. It is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery of North Devon. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a charming and dog-friendly vacation rental.

Ship Ahoy in Appledore
Just had an amazing week at this cottage. Everything to make our stay a home from home. Comfy bed, well furnished, great shower. Excellent spot and always managed to get free parking on the Quay. Appledore is a great base for visiting north Devon, and the local eateries were all fantastic, every meal we had was excellent... The Yard, The Royal George, Flame Factory, The Beaver, The Bell at Monksleigh, and not forgetting a great night of live blues at The Champ. Communication with Cottages on the Coast was excellent, would very happily use them again, and would recommend Ship Ahoy
Thank you Oliver!!

My family and I stayed at Happy Days over the summer and had a magical time. We’ve stayed in lots of places around Devon over the last decade and this was the best one we have stayed at. It has a great location - a short and pleasant stroll to the nearest town of Brauton, where there are great restaurants and shops, and a 5 min easy drive to Saunton Sands. We also spent a day in Croyde which is also very close by. The garden is sheltered and sunny and has all the amenities you need - plenty of seating, a BBQ and space for children to play. The beds were very comfy, the kitchen well equipped and plenty of hot water for everyone. Good off street parking, although the street was also quiet enough to park on too.
We noticed a local bus that goes between braunton and croyde, although we didn’t use it.
We ate one evening at the restaurant on saunton sands, which was lovely - have to book when it is busy. Great place in Brauton also for fish n chips. Our children also loved the pottery cafe.
