Little Bessemer is a real gem of a cottage, in a gem of a village! A perfect getaway, very comfortable and cozy, with everything you need to relax. We were warmly welcomed and given a delicious cream tea, perfect way to start a break! The hosts were very helpful, lovely people. The garden is beautiful, and I would have liked to spend more time in it (but a bit cold when we were there). The local pub is excellent, as is the local shop - both well worth supporting. We went for some coastal walks, and definitely recommend visiting Baggy Point. We had a lovely visit and hope to get back again soon. ...

Perfect cottage for two and a small dog. It is in the grounds of the owners house but has it’s own enclosed, private and stunning garden. The owner was friendly and helpful. Berrynarbor is a peaceful and friendly village with easy access to the North Devon coast. ...
