We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bantam Cottage. The swimming pool is a great facility, the grounds are well maintained for walks and the animals friendly for guests to visit.
Would recommend to friends and family, and visit again.

A great location
Excellent location with all the amenities for a superb family holiday. Our grandchildren loved the swimming pool, play areas and feeding all the animals. There is plenty to keep all the family occupied without leaving the complex.
Alice is an excellent host. We couldn’t fault anything, we look forward to our next visit.

amazing
We loved it in the bantam cottage. The place and surrounding area is perfect. We stayed here as our last holiday before we have our little girl and it was just the relaxing get away we needed. We will be back but as a little family next time. Thank you

Great family holiday!
Stayed here with my 1 year old and wife and we had a fantastic week. There is plenty to do on site and a lot to explore in Devon from Coulscott which makes it a perfect location. My toddler loved the farm animals on site. Would highly recommend.

A perfect holiday for three generations
We stayed in Bantam cottage while our children and grandchildren stayed in The Georgian House. Bantam Cottage was comfortable, well-equipped and clean. The additional touches such as tea, coffee and milk plus fresh eggs from the Coulscott hens made it more special. The grandchildren loved the pool, the play area and the animals.

Excellent facilities and pretty location.
Combe Martin itself is not a pretty village so being outside in the countryside makes good sense. V informative and kind owners. The accom is set in a lovely valley, not far from the coastal path. ( It is a car drive away ) Spectacular coastline . Lovely indoor pool and the site has plenty of children's activities. Enjoy your stay !

Kids paradise
Our little one had a lot of fun on the farm. The pool was spacious and warm, the playground massive, animals really cute, our cottage comfy. We can definitely recommend this place.
Be aware that the heating in the cottage always drops after some time and so you have to manually adjust it in winter to keep warm.
Overall we can recommend this place and will be coming again in summer.

Toddler friendly break in Bantam Cottage
We stayed in Bantam cottage for a week in late June with our 22 month old daughter and had an amazing week! Our little girl was in her element feeding the animals every morning followed by a trip to the playground, she has been talking about the chickens ever since. The cottage lovely and cosy, and had everything we needed for our week away. The cot room is also really handy. We were quite lucky with the weather and enjoyed some good today trips out to Saunton Sands, Croyde, Lynton and Lynmouth and also did the short Hunters Valley walk. With a toddler, we also opted for takeaway style teas - I’d highly recommend Barricane Beach cafe Sri Lankan curry (it’s so delicious!), Cluck street food in Croyde, the Mexican street food van at the pub in Combe Martin on a Saturday evening, the Black & White chippy in Combe Martin on the beach. Storm in a Teacup boat cafe in Watermouth Bay is also really worth a drop off - a great setting and really good food too!

Charming cottage in the wonderful Coulscott estate
Bantam Cottage is very pretty and charming - brilliant 'overflow' solution for our large group in the Georgian house as just next door but private and cosy !
