The cottage exceeded our expectations. It's set in a wonderful village location with a beautiful well stocked garden and relaxing well appointed accommodation. It's is perfectly located, only half a mile from Watermouth Bay and ideally situated for visiting the surrounding areas of North Devon and many local attractions. We would recommend visits to the pretty village of Dunster and the N.T. Castle and working Water Mill, Arlington Court, Tarr Steps on Exmoor, Lynmouth and Lynton with the a drive back through the Valley of the Rocks and white knuckle cliff road drive to Heddon Valley not to mention the stunning sandy beaches at Woolacombe and Saunton. There are plenty of good places for eating out including the local pubs and excellent fish & chips at the Dolphin or authentic Italian fare at Giovanni & Lucca on Ilfracombe harbour when you can fit in a viewing of the famous Damien Hurst statue ' Verity'. We look forward to returning again in the near future. ...

We had high expectations for this little cottage after reading the reviews and we weren't disappointed. The owner was welcoming and very helpful and we were greeted with a cream tea on the table. The cottage is well equipped and cosy. The garden is beautiful with a little stream at the bottom - would have been lovely to sit in the garden if the weather was good enough. We plan to return....

Very spacious cottage. Light and airy with the most beautiful garden. We had a four night break in April and had two sunny days exploring the area. Colin and Wendy the owners were very helpful and a delicious cream tea was waiting for us on arrival. Lovely beach at Woolacombe and great country walks all round....

Perfect little get away. So clean and the bed was very comfortable. Beautiful little self contained garden. You are attached to the owners property but we only saw them once the whole week when we collected our key on the first day. The nearby pub is just over the road and we had a few drinks in there but a word of warning . Don't order the food . Just awful!...

If you want a beautiful cottage and garden in a lovely part of North Devon, then Little Bessemer is for you. Such a relaxing week with my wife and our little terrier dog who loved running on the sands of Wooolacombe & Saunton. Thoroughly recommended. ...
