If you love to visit the beaches of North Devon yet prefer staying in the quiet tranquillity enjoying countryside living then Honeysuckle might just be the perfect place to stay!

This delightful four bedroom barn conversion was done over 10 years ago by the previous owners and has established itself firmly as one of the five popular holiday cottages at Allendar Farm.

Lovely cottage in great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Honeysuckle Cottage. It is in a great location near to Ilfracombe and Woolacombe.
It is a home from home with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was also so lovely to wake to to hear lambs bleating in the morning. Would highly recommend this spacious getaway.




Perfect for a family stay

Had a lovely stay here with the family.
The furniture is a little dated, and the floorboards creak, but none of those things affected our stay.
There are plenty of seating options, which meant we could spread out and each have our own space.
The conservatory is lovely, and my son spent most of his time in there with the air-conditioning!

On arrival there was a strong musty/damp smell downstairs and the sofa covers were also smelly. The furniture was a mishmash of old, probably seconhand store, table and chairs and the surfaces had a layer of dust. It gave the impression of not having been lived in for some time although the disgarded cigarette butts around the front doorstep and picnic table would suggest otherwise. Microwave and toaster need replacing and the downstairs shower also (dirty and unpleasant).

Upstairs was okay albeit basic. Bed linen and towels were clean and of a decent standard which was the good news. The mattress in the double at the top of the stairs needs replacing as it was lumpy and springs could be felt.

The comments made are similar to those going back over ten years so the owners have not moved to make improvements but still expect to command a strong rental rate.Departed the property early just to get back to a cleaner environment.

Thanks for taking the time to review Honeysuckle. It is a rustic house, under new ownership since just before lockdown and new to Holiday Home Hunter during that time. It is a barn conversion and the furnishings are older style but not that old, the owners taste is more conventional cottage style and its more of a dog friendly, walkers base for getting out to explore the area. It suits some and not others as other reviews indicate. It is much more reasonably priced than neighbouring properties and for a 4 bedroom house it is keenly priced. The cigarette butts are a mystery as the cleaner swept up outside on the Friday before you arrived. I have forwarded the review to the owner and cleaner and I expect they will replace the microwave and toaster. I will suggest a mattress topper for the bedroom you mention. The oven was replaced not long before your stay and the fridge freezer in the year or so. The conservatory is a recent addition from last year.

Better than it looks!

It’s a beautiful house with amazing views and well set out and resourced. Lovely walks and near beaches so a delight to stay in! Very comfortable!
