Little Bessemer is a Romantic Gem ! This was our second visit as we loved it so much the first time . Ideal for couples of all ages ! The Garden was just so pretty and was full of colour when we stayed . The property is so secluded , just a step away from the Village Centre . The property is bigger than average for two . Home from home .. every amenity provided . The tiny village school next door does not intrude at all . Not visible from any aspect of the garden . The owners of the property are lovely and friendly and on hand if required . They do not intrude . We shall return without a doubt if only for The Cream Tea provided on arrival! ...

What a find! Really quiet village location, only short distance from coastal footpath, and just a stone's throw away from great local pub. The hosts, Sarah and Jon, were lovely, and all the locals we met were so friendly. The kitchen was well equipped and we felt very much at home. The garden offers sunny and shady areas to sit, the latter being very welcome as it was so hot the week we were there. Lots of beautiful coves nearby for safe bathing and easy access to the bigger towns of Ilfracombe and Combe Martin. Also, plenty of local walks. We will definitely be back next year, if it isn't fully booked!...
