The Dairy

Fantastic hosts, holiday home and location we’ve loved: - walking from /across Putsborough Beach to Woolacombe via the amazing “Porthole Cafe’, swimming and bodyboarding - Cycling the Tarka Trail from Barnstaple (hired bikes at Station - 5*) with a drink at Fremington Quay and walk at Instow Beach - Walk from Mortehoe to Mortpoint and around to lighthouse, spotting seals on the way - The friendly robin ! - Scones everyday! And the fab welcome pack - The very comfortable beds and space to relax Many thanks to our hosts Dom & Sue Leather family

Thank you so much for making our first family holiday that extra bit more special. We’ve travelled to Devon with our 4 and 1/2 month old for his first trip to the seaside and The Dairy has provided all home comforts (especially with a baby!) away from home. The little welcome basket with fresh scones was most appreciated on arrival! We couldn’t get over how clean and immaculate the place was too ! The Dairy made the 1am and 4am feeds a delight !! Whilst here, we tried to follow everyone else’s visit recommendations, which were all brilliant. Weather was a bit dodgy at times, so Ilfracombe aquarium was an added bonus. Thanks again for a marvellous stay.

Gorgeous stay in this clean and tidy cottage. Very family friendly and great location.

Thank you very much for your kind hospitality. We very much enjoyed our stay with you in such a fantastic place. We always enjoy Devon, and found this a great place to be based. Beaches at Croyde, Woolacombe and Saunton not far at all, Ilfracombe harbour very relaxing, great walks at Baggy Point and Lynton and Lynmouth with the incredible Valley of the Rocks with the stunning cricket ground. We will take lots of happy memories with us !

Thank you for a lovely stay at The Dairy. Such a peaceful location, and exactly what we needed for a few days away to recharge. It was great to find such a comfortable and clean property - home from home. We enjoyed a walk to the Porthole Cafe, and then back along the beach and up to Georgeham for Sunday lunch. (8 mile round trip from North Buckland). Another lovely day out was a trip to the RHS gardens at Rosemoor, and finally a walk around the cliff tops at Woolacombe. We hope to return again sometime soon.

Thank you for letting us stay here. There’s a robin that comes here everyday and sits on the table outside. We give him pieces of strawberry and bread. We called him ALAN! I love the house and especially the beds there so soft.

My wife and I have really enjoyed our stay. The Dairy is a perfect base for a family adventure. A short walk to the Rock pub for dinner was a particular highlight. We can thoroughly recommend Putsborough Beach. We can’t thank you enough for a wonderful stay!

The cottage was fantastic, spotlessly clean and really well stocked with everything you would need. The location is great as we are away from the town and it's so peaceful just waking up to birdsong. We really enjoyed our stay.

We have been very ‘impressed’ with our stay at The Dairy, what a fabulous place :) It has everything we need; soft towels, hot water, welcome gift with fresh coffee and scones. Loved the location with quiet evening walks and meeting ‘Alan’ the friendly robin.

We’ve had a wonderful stay in your lovely Dairy with everything we’ve needed - we’ve appreciated the comfortable bed and the goodies we found on our arrival. Thank you so much. The weather has been hot and sunny all week so we have been able to make the most of this lovely part of Devon. Putsborough Beach - swimming, walking along Marine Drive and back along the sand. Watching the drama of the sea mist rolling in. Mortehoe Point - a beautiful walk with views of seals, ravens, a kestrel and wheatear. Good Sunday carvery at the Ship Aground. Fremington Quay - for bird watching and a very popular cafe. Baggy Point - walking round the point in the morning, then down to Croyde beach in the afternoon. Lunch at National Trust cafe. Watersmeet - a welcome shady walk. It’s been like an oasis to return here each day - so quiet and peaceful with the birds and butterflies for company.

Thank you for a wonderful stay at The Dairy - Beautifully decorated and excellent facilities. Such a kind gesture to have a welcome hamper on arrival, which was a welcome relief when we arrived after a long journey. Thank you for being such kind and thoughtful hosts - we will be back!

Thank you for making our Summer and restoring our calm. From your warm welcome late on a wet Friday evening and answering our queries, to quietly being available IF needed- the balance was perfect. The Dairy is a treat being so well appointed. Our highlights were: · Sitting on the front doorsteps in the sunshine having a coffee, watching and listening to the wildlife- the red admiral on the buddleia, 12 house martins on the wires & a cuckoo. · Body boarding every day. · Dinner with friends at “Hang Loose” in Braunton · Walking on Morte Point & seeing 13 grey seals sunning themselves or hanging in their rockpool with our daughter too, the best treat of a surprise. · The local maps are very enjoyable & user friendly (some here & some in Georgeham Post Office) We will return!

We would go back tomorrow if work allowed! The grey seals of Morthoe Point were a highlight. The property is not on a through route for all vehicles - one exit is too tight for camper and etc - so beautifully quiet. A beautifully converted farm/guest house. The dairy is very well appointed except for the 4 mats we managed to destroy & our hosts graciously waved the apology away. Thank you to the property owners for making our summer!

Thank you for a wonderful stay at The Dairy. The generous welcome hamper was a lovely surprise. The cottage was beautifully put together and so peaceful. Our highlights from our stay were: A day on Putsborough beach, Sunday roast at The Kings Arms, exploring tunnels and beaches in Ilfracombe, a day out at The Big Sheep, takeaway pizza and fish and chips from Braunton and rock pooling and body boarding at Croyde We love The Dairy and Sue and Dom were super welcoming !
