Little Bessemer is an excellent base for touring around North Devon. It is very comfortable for a couple with a dog! What you see on the website is what you get - comfortable accommodation in a friendly village setting. Perfect.

A beautiful place to stay comfortable homely spotlessly clean cottage. The garden and surrounding area is delightful.. We will be back next year visit number 8. A very special place.
Ms Roberts March 2018
A beautiful, comfortable, cosy cottage in a stunning, idyllic village setting. Within easy driving distance of beautiful beaches and countryside. A lovely old character pub a few minutes walk away and another a few minutes drive. Both serving good food. Cottage owners, very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Dog friendly; as was the whole area and the local pubs. An ideal place to stay to explore this incredible part of Devon....
