We have stayed at Little Bessemer three times and have always had a wonderful holiday. The cottage is perfect for couples and has a beautiful private garden. The owners are very kind and welcoming and a homemade cream tea awaits you when you arrive! The cottage has a very well equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge and is always spotlessly clean. It has everything you need and is just a lovely place to be! The village is beautiful and there are lovely views over the countryside from the cottage. There is a well stocked village shop and Combe Martin is only a short drive away, as is Ilfracombe and the lovely beach at Woolacombe. We would highly recommend Little Bessemer!...

Little Bessemer is a beautifully furnished, peacefully situated cottage in an idyllic location surrounded by wonderful countryside. The enclosed garden is absolutely delightful, with many varied flowers, shrubs and trees.

I would highly recommend a visit to Little Bessemer, it was a lovey cottage set in a beautiful garden and everything I expected. The cottage was well equipped, spotlessly clean and comfortable. The area is quite hilly but that is North Devon. The village had a well equipped shop and for us as dog owners a designated safe enclosed exercise field. There were plenty of places to visit in the surrounding area and most places are dog friendly. All in all a lovely place to get away from it all ....

Ms Lange April 2022
It was a lovely cottage, the garden was stunning! Lovely cream tea waiting for us - amazing scones! Very friendly village, local community shop, bell ringers, dog field just down the road, the caravan park with a very nice bar and food, also a hotel that does food within half a mile but a bit posh for us with a big dog!. Quick half mile to the coast path, local taxis from Come Martin and Lynmouth were excellent to get us to different places. Exmoor Coaster bus driver fantastic from Lynmouth! We used it as a base to knock off another 25 miles of coast path over the Easter bank holiday - perfect retreat!...
